    Probs Bollocks but just found this and thought I would share

    No Newcastle or Arsenal bid for Gervinho says Lille’s Director of Football.


    Gervinho: No bids from Newcastle or Arsenal.
    While it has recently been announced by ‘Talk Sport’ that Newcastle United target, Gervinho, has signed for Arsenal, it has been revealed by the Director of Football of the player’s current club, Lille OSC, that neither club have even made an offer for the Ivory Coast player yet.

    Rather, he has told the French media that Tottenham have been the only club to actually make a bid for the player so far, and that it has been turned down.

    Lille’s Director of Football, Frédéric Paquet, or ‘Fred Package’ in English said of Gervinho’s proposed move:

    “Today we recieved a concrete offer from Tottenham, which we have refused in the last few hours.”

    He then added, interestingly:

    “In fact, that is the only official contact we have recieved”

    So, it appears that there have been no concrete offers received from either Newcastle United, or Arsenal for that matter, and that he haas not signed for Arsenal after all.

    Gervinho scored 14 league goals for the Ligue One champions last season, and was also a big hit in the 2010 World Cup, where he played alongside Newcastle’s Cheick Tiote.


    PS I would of added this on the gervinho Stickie but cant open them on work computer for some reason

    Some had a link from France suggesting Newcastle didn't bid for him, then it was mentioned again in the Chronicle last night and now this, I get the feeling this was a con by Ashley.

    Just seems strange that we wouldn't have made a bid after all the recent hype.

    Gervinho actually doesn't exist. Maybe that's the interesting thing.

    would be a good plot twist, sounds like the sort of thing that would happen when we spend big money on someone

    It's actually a bit like those trick ebay auctions where people think they're bidding on a shiny new xbox but really it's just the box, with nowt in it.

    We'll get a report saying we've won the race with a 13m bid or whatever ... and then receive a cardboard cutout or something


    the kinda things movies are made of

    very poorly received, low budget movies.
    probably starring Nick Cage or something.
    I've entirely lost track of what I'm on about.

    It's just Pedro with a rubber mask on to make him look younger.

    I think Mike Ashley is making it looks like we're going for top class players, so he can claim he tried just before he signs Carlton Cole.
