Transfer Rumours Official Gervinho Thread!!

I think we need to act quicker. We stalled on Gervinho because we were waiting for an answer from Gameiro, and now it looks like we might miss out on both. Should sit Enrique down and get a straight answer to we can get Taylor or someone in to replace him before we miss another trick.

Did the right thing with Cabaye, got in there quickly before anyone could beat us to it.

 

People are missing the point with Gervinho slightly - it's all about the contract he's offered.

Transfer fees are, in legal terms, agreed pay-offs between current employers and potential employers, to cancel the contract of the individual in question. Once this pay-off is negotiated, it is final, regardless of alternative, higher offers, unless the employer pulls the plug. We have had an offer accepted, and so other clubs would have no need to offer more.

Therefore, the choice is entirely Gervinho's; wherever he wants to go, he will go.

Come Cheick, work your magic.

 

More speculation, but seems more and more likely that he's Arsenal bound:

The Times are reporting he's turned us down... Hope for once they're wrong!

 

Its Gunner end in tears

 

Say it aint so Gervinho!

 

Mahmoud Abdel Razek "Shikabala" his cheap alternative

23 yrs old AM/winger 6mths left on contract Egyptian international

linked with him today

 

Phew!

At least he doesn't look like Richard Reid...

Can I say that?

 

it was on talkshiote so about as true as gyan riggs being faithful but seems like the sort of thing we'd do 6 mths left on contract = cheap stick him in the reserves comes good bonus if not sell on at a small profit

 

talksport is just awful i dont listen to most the rumors on there and i have no idea who this egyptian guy is! im still hopeful for gerviniho after we pulled off a ben arfa im sure we can do this

 

Adrian Durham = Complete and utter **** stain

 

Looks like this is over then!

 

explain???

 

What news chap?

 

Haven't been on for a couple of days, becoming increasingly unlikely that we'll sign him, can't see him choosing us over City/Arsenal

 

Tiote can do the impossible.

And also on a serious note, how do you know Arsenal and Citeh have put a bid in.
I'm expecting a lot tomorrow when the interenational transfer window opens.

 

his agent has said this in an interview

“It is difficult for me to discuss the situation because it is confidential, but it is true that many clubs in England have contacted us concerning the availability of Gervinho.”

“But we have not only spoken to clubs in England, but also Italy, Germany, Spain and France. The player wants to leave Lille and his priority is a move to England.”

“However, it is difficult for me to speak about one club for the player. He wants to leave and has contacts with England, and he is determined to play in the Premier League next season.”

asked if indeed it would be a dream move for his client to move to Arsenal, and this is what Seb Boisseau said:

“I do not know,” “For the moment he wants to think about Arsenal, Manchester City, and other clubs.”

” It is difficult for me to comment, as you have good information and sometimes wrong information, but it is not good for me to comment, or for the clubs, or for Lille. “

“For the moment it is confidential, and we will wait until Gervinho makes an agreement with one club.” “I think a decision will be made regarding his future by the end of the week.”

Friday announcement anyone

 

Theres less and less positive news coming through but comeon we have to stay hopefull

 

Nice to see what confidentiality means to an 'agent'.

I still have hope
