gitto 0 Posted August 30, 2015 £1.5 mill for him. FC Midtjylland''s loss is City''s gain. Carlos Cuellar, Michael Turner eat your hearts out.How much did Michael Turner cost again? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
York Canary 28 Posted August 30, 2015 Linked to a host of clubs. Everton, West Brom etc. Captain of their team, 23 years old and also Danish international. I''d be very, very happy with him and another big player like Koulibaly or N''Koulou (who is now linked with Chelsea unfortunately) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Essjayess 307 Posted August 30, 2015 Hope this happens and quickly, the failure to get Koulibaly was disapointing, our need for a CB is now urgent and its 2 days left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Essjayess 307 Posted August 30, 2015 Ya me to but sadly hes not going to be with us so its back to the drawing board...still looks like we will get a Collins type in or no one at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Essjayess 307 Posted August 30, 2015 The Danish source says we have bid just over 2 mill?..if this guy is as half decent as some say...then to me thats a figure that other clubs will easy over bid on..this club is in the spotlight now after beating Southampton..maybe we will lose out to Fulham >.> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanaryOne 0 Posted August 30, 2015 Is £2 million really going to get us a center half capable of playing in the Prem , we would probably ask more than that for Martin or Bassong . We need significant improvement at the back and up front , more of the same just wont keep us up . We have made a complete balls up of this summer window and are now trying to panic buy anybody thats going . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Move Klose 303 Posted August 30, 2015 It''s irrelevant how much he cost as to how good he is. If he was English would probably cost £10m. Players from Scandinavia tend to alot lower price than most other European leagues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,218 Posted August 30, 2015 Supposedly we''ve bid 2.2 million, no official word on if it has been accepted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Wall Of Tettey 0 Posted August 30, 2015 Sure Everton were interested, or atleast rumoured to be last week. If he thinks he''s good enough then go for it, can''t see koulibaly/nkoulou being realistic although I do think centre backs to need 1 starting player Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thorny 0 Posted August 30, 2015 [quote user="Bor Bor Bor"]Chris Goreham praying it doesn''t happen.

havemyhowsonit 0 Posted August 30, 2015 Getting really sick of this rumour mill. Not one has been right. Roll on the end of this transfer window so the football can be the main focus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crafty Canary 490 Posted August 30, 2015 Conceding an average of two goals per game suggests the defence should be a priority area for new signings. Hopefully something will be done before the window closes otherwise it will be a tough slog ahead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Essjayess 307 Posted August 31, 2015 Look on the bright side...we have yet to face any of the big clubs to, maybe we will keep clean sheets against them >.> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted August 31, 2015 Dont know a thing about him, may be good may be not but we seem to be bidding £2m now where not so long ago we were £8 plus. Unless you have a fantastic scouting network and i fear we must have one of the worst then you get what you pay for more often than not. I suspect he may prove to be a decent championship CB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Samwam27 517 Posted August 31, 2015 The last two weeks suggest it takes NCFC a couple of days before realising they can make a higher bid if one is rejected.So guess we''re screwed for the transfer window.In defense of Neill, I should think this has been one of the most frustrating windows he''ll ever experience, but highlights our negotiating skills are next to nothing (& before you say it, that includes understanding how to make sensible bids so that the other club bites, not penauts!)

CanaryOne 0 Posted August 31, 2015 Kasper Beier Nielsen @kasperbeier 47m47 minutes ago Deal could still be done but #ncfc will have to go back with an improved offer #pldk #ncfc Why can we just not pay up and get a deal done , its hardly a pittance at this level .

Samwam27 517 Posted August 31, 2015 Canary, totally agree. Surely they must know what price they want. Just pay it and get some quality in!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chicken 0 Posted August 31, 2015 The issue is the TV deal.Every club in the Premier League is struggling to sign players for realistic prices or comparative prices compared to this time last season.Clubs around Europe are going to try and eek out more from potential buyers. And yet new clubs, like ourselves and Bournemouth, clearly do not have the cash to throw about quite as much as other teams with at least a season of premier league money behind them and perhaps wealthy backers.And also, with so many question marks still around. Eg, Man Utd have just sold Evans, are they looking for a replacement? Chelsea were in for Stones, will they revisit - if so will Everton be after a new CB? Will they be after one anyway? Southampton are rumoured to be in for at least one CB according to their manager. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lynn Canary 0 Posted August 31, 2015 Jesus christ, no team goes and pays what the other club want straight away. It''s called negotiating. Every team does it. If we just payed whatever a team asks for, for every player we wanted, we would be skint. Hull apparently wanted 15 mil for brady, and our negotiating meant we got him for 7. That was thanks to the previous bids. Yet if you had it your way, we would have paid nearly double what we got him for. Even outside of football, negotiating happens with purchases. Any time I have bought or sold a car, nobody has ever said yes straight away for the price the car was listed, there is always negotiating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samwam27 517 Posted August 31, 2015 Lynn, thats nice when then there''s no deadline on buying a car.We need reinforecements and there''s little thing of the deadline finishing in less than 24 hrs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cantiaci Canary 556 Posted August 31, 2015 As we are currently a premier league side every move we make makes news somewhere. This may appear that we are cheap skates when actually we are just doing business. Trust in the club. If they truly want Sviatchenko they will reach a deal but, as with Afobe, they won''t be held for ransom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
