The French press are reporting that Valencia can't match our bid and may have to drop out and PSG arn't going to bid at all!!
Source???? Great news though if it's true.![]()
Well although it's sorta good to hear we're practically the only horse in the race, it doesn't necessarily mean he'll leave. If we've had our bid accepted by the club, it's now down to the player and he'll probably not accept (unless he's Carroll's french cousin and the triple wage bill attracts him)
Also, news regarding Gervinho.. cwarr tweeted that L'Equipe reported this morning " "Lille se prépare à un éventuel départ de Gervinho Newcastle" lille prepared wid eventual loss of gervinho 2 nufc "
But, upon finding it myself, I translated it as meaning " Moreover, Lille prepares for a possible departure from Gervinho (Newcastle?). "
Similar wordings, but can still mean entirely different things. The big word being 'possible' - with us being suggested right at the end as a possibility.
The better translaton is "eventual"rahter than "possible", for what that's worth
