I did say it was just a thought. How much was he by the way? How long did he have left on his contract?
We exploited a release clause of 4.5 million that they didnt think anyone knew about.

Hmmm, not sure about that, club vice captain and joint highest season appearances. Likely he would get a game.
Signing players who don't get a start seems to be more in line with the SAFC remit.

Cabaye signed from Lille who have Champions League football next season.
Odd, and lucky. if he's as good as people say.
Why did you avoid the lower wages comment?
Selective reading.
We just have a brilliant scout, really.
Damn. Nothing gets past you mate!
Ok, just a thought. Maybe Lille just have plans that don't involve him. I said, it was just a thought.
Yeah, O'shea, Vaughan, Larson, they've all got flat arses from bench sitting.
thats coz I is impotent
you need to stop those thoughts
more bad thoughts

So when this sell on clause was uncovered and made public knowledge, why didn't another club out bid by say, half a mil. £5 mill would still be a steal for such a player and lille would take the higher offer.
Also he wanted to join us, he's mates with HBA.
Time for a club based wage cap on all clubs in Europe of say £100K per week for all players in a squad of 25 players. Thats £4K per player or £200,000 a year.
Is there any body on here who would turn down a job for £200K a years?
If there is let me know cos I want your job.
With this sort of salary cap you could see tickets commimg down to a level we can all afford and the grounds full, even expanded.
They wouldnt need to outbid us for a start. If a release clause is 4.5 million, the club has to accept every bid that is at least that much. Dont know why no one else bid (probably because we did the deal pretty quickly), he's a quality player.
Look, I dont like nufc at all but to have an agent talk about a proud and history rich english football club in this manner is a disgrace. Mags or not, if the player is happy for this prick to handle his affairs then I'd say the player isnt up to much either.
40k per week being described as ridiculous is in itself a disgrace and I have never even heard of the lad. No idea about him other than you tube. Why would you break the bank for him unless out of desperartion?
If I were Ashley/Partridge, or the mags fans, I'd be happy to let him go and milk some other poor sods club bank balance.
The football world needs to wake up and smell the roses here. The money is running out.
