Looks like a long term thing. I hope they are giving us a worst-case scenario right now. He's been immense, I wish the lad well.
He's been our best player this season, for me. I'm glad that Parker's back, but it's still a massive loss.
Parker though has looked great and full of plenty energy, since his return..been itching to shoot aswell..so a great replacement.
My concern is what if he or Dembele picks up another injury? Central midfield cupboard looks a bit bare... (and no that's not just because THudd's been in there a while!!!)
I actually made a similar comment about M'Vila looking like a Levy deal yesterday, OODB. Diame's got a £3.5m release clause, so he might be another one for the chairman to consider, especially as it would have the additional bonus of pissing off his mates at West Ham.
Great minds and all that eh PNP? Just think its interesting that neither the M'Vila nor the Livermore deals have been confirmed yet, or am I reading way, way too much into things...
The Livermore deal appears to have been put on hold, at the very least. He played for the U21s/Reserves on Monday. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see somebody jump in for M'Vila, despite his off-field problems. His price has dropped dramatically.
Something disciplinary I think, he's banned from the international set-up for a year because of breaking curfew on U21 duty if I remember correctly?
Think that thats the £8 million question, if he could be then the investment and what he could bring to the team would be worthwhile methinks
He got banned by France for going out on the piss when he was with the U21s. He punched a 17-year-old for allegedly hurting his sister or something, had some road rage incident and there was some story about him and his mate being robbed by hookers.
Available for £8m, a long-term prospect, huge potential resale value, one of Andre's initial targets, and won't be getting injured on international duty until 2014 at the earliest. Levy, get the wallet!
That looks ****ing awful, massive cast! Hopefully he can come back asap but surely he's going to be out for the rest of the season now unfortunately.
He sounds a lot like another Gio... Great talent, but if the attitude isn't there then any transfer fee would blow up in your face.
Massive loss, Parker needs to get to his best sharpish, and stop those silly ten yard passes back to the bloke who's just give it him! I fear an even slower build up tbh.
