colneycanary 0 Posted June 10, 2008 Because it is a story written today. Also have you seen it officially anywhere that Ipswich put in a bid for 4 million? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colneycanary 0 Posted June 10, 2008 Both official sites have said nothing yet! What i found interesting about the story today is they value Ameobi at 2 to 2.5 million and the person who wrote the story seems to think we are the favorites to get him still despite all the stories yesterday.

Bomber 50 Posted June 10, 2008 Well if it is his agent he obvously does not know our club very well - if he is leaking figures of 4 million then that puts us out of the picture straight away so there would be no bidding war there - now if it was 400.000.00 that would be more realistic for us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colneycanary 0 Posted June 10, 2008 They are saying today his value is around the 2 million mark. No where near the 4 million mentioned yesterday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted June 10, 2008 Well why don''t we get a performance related deal going, with a big clause for promotion, and one for 15 goals... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DDD In The Fine City 1 Posted June 10, 2008 Just had some good news, My mate from Newcastle that told me that Patterson was coming on loan just before he did has phoned and said that he has heard that Ameobi is on his way here and talk of the fee and stuff are in advanced stages. He knows quite a few high people in the club and was right last time see post "first loan signing"(dont know how to sticky it here)Dont want to get to excited yet but he seems to think its as good as done.

nutty nigel 7,635 Posted June 10, 2008 What clause do you think he should have for 15 goals? Cureton got 14 and all he got was loads of stick and the nickname "Barn Door Jamie" [;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blahblahblah 2 Posted June 10, 2008 I reckon his days of obscene wages and massive transfer fees are gone, at least for now. He''ll have to make do with a large transfer fee and disgusting wages until he can prove himself in the championship, at least. Newcastle are looking to unload him and no-one else has shown a verifiable interest.I reckon we might actually get him quite cheaply, compared to Premiership numbers.

TheCardinal 0 Posted June 10, 2008 Yeah, that Shola''s not very good and for the price we can get much better for much cheaper...What''s that? He''s coming here?He''s the best thing since sliced bread! Wow, he''s going to set the division alight next season! What a signing, no matter the cost! [:)]Joking aside, he would be a great asset to us - just a case of whether we can get him at a reasonable fee and not for a small fortune as rumoured with Ipswich.

O.T.B.C 0 Posted June 10, 2008 If it was 2 million now and more on promotion etc, I would have here in a shot. I reckon if he could improve his fitness, he will play well and want to prove people wrong. Remember, GR got some goals and good football out of him before and I don''t think that Shola would have forgotton that, come to think of it, GR would not have forgotton too.

Huddy 0 Posted June 18, 2008 Perhaps its a Turner signing, that want the club to succeed, so theyve stumped up the cash to buy him with no conditions, no payback. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colneycanary 0 Posted June 18, 2008 Ameobi Deal On The Cards?By Ricky Bilverstone - 18/06/2008 13:17Reports from a source close to the club, suggest that Newcastle''s Shola Ameobi could be set for a move to Norwich, in a deal worth around £3.5mThe Nigerian born striker, has been removed from the teams squad list, which makes you think that his future now lays else where.Earlier this month, Ipswich were said to have been close to clinching a deal for the 26 year old, after claiming that they had had an offer accepted by the North East club, only for other parties to claim that no firm offer had been made.While the players agent, Steve Denos admitted that Norwich would be an attractive prospect for the player, who would have no worries once again teaming up with former Newcastle and now City boss Glenn Roeder.
