canarycop 202 Posted August 9, 2013 Nothing to say we won''t and the longer this goes on the more convinced I am that we will get our man even if it''s on last day of window. More pressing concern is a new Centre Half though in my opinion. No matter how well Turner and Bennett did at end of last season we need some better quality in there asap. Bassong seems to have this niggling injury and he really is the only quality!!!!!! CH we have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think all the latest players we''ve been linked with are for that attacking mid / 2nd striker role. I think the bigger issue is Centre Half. We can get by with what we have up front with Fer playing that role quite well in pre season, and having Wessi as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Row D Seat 7 0 Posted August 9, 2013 I never thought we''d sign him. That''s not an ''I told you so'', but just had a feeling from the get go. If he was going to sign, I think he would''ve done by now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted August 9, 2013 [quote user="Cantiaci Canary"][quote user="chicken"]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.[/quote] I can see West Ham doing just that - despite their alleged withdrawal from negotiations. They have more money behind them than us and are London based.[/quote] West Ham are skint, they are having problems with the new Financial Fair Play rules and their wage budget also. They pretty much blew all the cash on Carroll and are trying to off-load a few players, but no one is really interested - Norwich can beat them on fee and wages (unless West Ham can flog some of their dead wood).

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted August 9, 2013 Still 2/5 on skybet...That suggests it''s likely at least, although far from given, as I doubt they''d be willing to give a 40% payout if a deal was imminent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yelloow Since 72 53 Posted August 9, 2013 Still 3 weeks to go, but I wonder if CH and DM have started to look further down their list, as the el Hamdaoui rumour suggests. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dubai Mark 0 Posted August 9, 2013 I thought it was about time I took a look at some highlights of Fabio considering I didnt have a clue about him all this time. Now I get it, what an absolutely cracking player, he would be a terrific signing regardless of his age. But has it now gone on too long, I am beginning to think so.

JayNCFC 14 Posted August 9, 2013 You never know what is going on though, Quag may have a preference, or Juve may have a price, both will change as the transfer deadline draws closer. I am sure we are still monitoring this and it isn''t over and the window closes or he signs somewhere else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

S10 Canary 0 Posted August 10, 2013 This is rather exciting now! I just figured the ''bump'' comment was designed to be comically ironic as the thread is 56 pages long and has hovered at the top of the board for ages. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smooth 114 Posted August 10, 2013 Historically our club has never any activity at weekends in regard to transfer dealing. Very much a mon fri 9-5. However this season there has been a little bit more activity and we would all like some, another lift would do us all the world of good before the first game.

Barossa 0 Posted August 10, 2013 Leroy Fer was announced on Saturday.Anyway, Sunderland now appear to be in the race for Quags Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Mass Debater 1,071 Posted August 10, 2013 Yes, plenty of chatter on Twitter linking Sunderland wit Quag. I know he''s been linked with multiple clubs so far with little of any substance, but Sunderland is concerning - sounds very much like a Di Canio signing to me.Sunderland have always historically splurged the cash on over-priced players noone else thought was a good deal. Quag would surely be more interested in joining up with all those fellow Italians.That said though, this is an obvious story to make up by bored journos. Pretty 2+2 stuff. Just remains to be seen if the result is 4 or 5.We were supposed to be increasing our offer 3 days ago though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,598 Posted August 10, 2013 SYG - ''bump'' brings a thread to the top when it as fallen down the page. The interesting element here is tat CUSDP did it, is usually rather well informed on transfers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted August 10, 2013 As CUSDP ''bumped'' this at 6:16 this morning, I think he''s just having a laugh (where I live it''s not unusual to get in at 6am in the morning ;))However, I am hoping CUSDP''s ''bumped'' this for a reason - forget Toivonen etc, Quagliarella is the one I''m hoping to see linking up with RvW etc this season... Mouthwatering potential. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
