The Masked Raccoon 0 Posted August 5, 2013 Somewhere a box has lost it tool, which needs sharpening.I believe TNB wants to come across as self opinionated and blinkered to anyones views apart from his own - along with his constant 300+ paragraphs of rambling on about his own opinion then having knocks at anyone who disagrees reasonably with him.

flecky76 0 Posted August 5, 2013 Apparently Valencia about to sign Helder Postiga from Zaragoza. Weren''t it Valencia who were said to also be interested in Quagliarella?Could perhaps mean that Valencia have now set their sights elsewhere perhaps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Johnny_Bravo 0 Posted August 7, 2013 I think Valencia have replaced Soldado with Postiga. With the current climate as it is in Spain, Clubs other than Barca and Madrid are cautious when it comes to splashing the cash. I think Valencia may just keep a sizeable part of the Soldado fee just for everyday running and players wages. Just a theory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Moss 2,165 Posted August 7, 2013 Has anyone actually seen any comment from either Quagliarella or his agent ever since this rumour broke sometime back in 1984 because at least with Toby Alderwotsit and Toivonen we''ve had snippets of info to go on, but with Quagliarella we''ve had absolutely nothing. It seems, bar Hughton''s comments a week or two back, that it''s only rehashed Twitter rumours keeping this one alive... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted August 7, 2013 I saw that Reading, I understand Hughton''s interested, but unlike Toivonen and Toby who''ve publically said ''no thanks'' or ''Norwich is an option'', neither Quagliarella or his agent (presuming he has one) have come out and hinted at anything - not sure if that''s a good or a bad thing?! I''m guessing he''s got more offers on the table than perhaps we realise... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chicken 0 Posted August 7, 2013 It may just be me but this feels a bit like the Hooper situation. Several clubs hovering waiting to see if Juve bite on an offer before matching it etc.A player of this calibre should be attracting plenty of interest from around Europe.

Excited Canary 18 Posted August 7, 2013 I may be wrong but aren''t Valencia in a pretty dire financial situation? I think they have massive debts and thus I would be surprised if they stump up the reported €10m+ for Quag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow Shirt 17 Posted August 8, 2013 Mentioned in the SSN piece about RVW today... felt a little like they expect it to happen but I am probably reading too much into that.Still, nice to see SSN at the club shop doing a piece even though there was no news- that''s more a Newcastle, Man U, Chelsea kind of thing usually.

Nothing new I know but it is looking quite positive.Jury is still out as to whether we will end up getting him though. As I said before, really wouldn''t surprise me if this one goes to the line.

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted August 8, 2013 I was thinking today that the one thing we do know is that Hughton''s recently said that anyone we do sign would have to be coming to the football club for the right reasons - therefore I can''t see us going for Toivonen anymore, not sure Hughton would still be interested in signing a player who apparently see''s NCFC as a last resort. Perhaps Toivonen''s had his chance and we''ve moved on to the likes of Quagliarella etc now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
