Was there **** a deal in place. Bunch of ****ing liars. Nick Barnes is a gent of a man. When he says Moyes told him there wasn't a deal in place I ****ing believe him.
I wonder where he will end up. He's in line for a big pay day. Ruby screwed the move for him just as much as Sunderland so I'm not convinced he will stay there. He could have loads of offers.
He flew over and wanted to sign for us. Then we ****ed him off with 'will you wait until Jan, we don't want to pay for you' and people expect him to owe us something.
I have a feeling he'll end up at Everton. They were sniffing around him towards the end of last season.
I don't think Moyes wanted him enough to justify his demands. He's a top player who will commend a top wage and rightly so. When the club say a deal was in place, they really mean a deal was offered but never accepted, they're just choosing their words. We're ****ing tight arses. There was never a deal in place. Don't believe it for one second. Offered maybe but there was never an agreement.
Nutshell. When we learned how long was left on his contract I doubt if any of us realistically expected the club to pay up. We can argue as much as we like about how much that actually was but it`s obvious the club had no intention of paying anything.
What big club will want him on 10 good games for us ? He was never coming back here, just kept his options open. Canny player and better than the dross we have to watch but didn't make it at Milan. Too slow for the top teams. Don't get me wrong, better than Cattermole etc but must want £100k a week on a Bosman, what if he goes huffy again, has history. Move on for me, we need a striker,
Do you not think Ellis would have dealt on £8 mill Comm rather than £13 on NDong, more to this than we know. Don't think we'll ever know. We are in a good bubble at the moment, can't let this upset us.
Maybe Moyes doesn't rate M'Vila in his system as much as Allardyce/Advocaat did. Moyes always plans long term.
Yer right Tel, this lots just putting him in the shop window, bet he goes to West Ham. There were times he should have been dropped last season , he's no Scholes. Moyes will know if he is a £100k a week player…….he's nee Felanni
Can't say fairer than that as it confirms the club's statement. I am still puzzling whether that other picture thing from back in July when he was supposed to flown in was actually him. Onward and upward.
Think he was playing everyone Comm, and so would I, a 4 year big contract and he's made. Good luck to him.
