    If we weren't at least a little bit liquid in terms of cash, why and how were the Dave's allegedly waving £40m plus in front of Lyon for Lacazette?

    Perhaps it was £1m up front with the rest based on him scoring 30 plus goals a season for 5 seasons on the trot and winning the French presidential election a year later?

    Ha ha that's about the long and short of it barracks....

    Or a bigger payday (soon to be banned)

    At least we tried...

    Just thinking about the Payet situation and not sure if this has been mentioned but as it's supposedly just about 'family reasons', would Marseille really want to spend £30 million on a player who doesn't really want to play for them and is just there to be close to his family?
  • FlorinRaducliousFlorinRaduclious
    Clacton - it is a point. What if the malaise he feels and (possibly) caused his poor performances for us is a permanent thing? What if he never plays like he did last season ever again? Lost the mojo?

    For me another reason not to loan him. What if he plays dire, nobody will give us a big deal in the summer then.

    He's going there for the sake of his kids and possibly his partner.....

    Believe that is the family's current location, hence the rumours he'd take a pay cut to make it happen.

    He's just gone about it really really badly as far as we can see, but the details around the family business could be that deep it probably had a lot to do with him going off the rails

    IMO

    Good Point and yes he has gone about it all the wrong way and no way to pay a club back after the money we paid him last year .

    From a players point of view Wednesday night away at Monaco or Wednesday night
    away to Burnley ;hmm

    Yes I know its a tough choice but one he needs to make ;lol

    Brooking the "loyalty" payment being banded about is basically his latest deal signing on fee broken down over different periods he doesn't owe us anything because when he was paid that he hadn't effectively downed tools

    :ok

    When he does go, I want him to write out a transfer request.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    I'm sure he'll bear that in mind Preston. ;wink

    They usually force them to do that if they've been unprofessional about it to ensure they are not due any extra fees when leaving, i.e. % of transfer fee.

    Florin I think last season was pretty much the only season he has ever played like he did. Had he done it often before he would have been at a bigger club and would never have joined us.
  • FlorinRaducliousFlorinRaduclious
    Exactly Thorn, so don't loan as it could see his stock fall due to (potential) bad displays. To get the big transfer fee we need his stock to still be high (or as high as it can be now) so either sell now, or sit in the reserves and sell in the summer.

    Polite Notice and Apology from the Mods

    In all the Dimi furore, we rather let our standards slip, and have been inconsistent in our modding. ;weep

    Can we remind you that amphibian- or primate-based insults referring to Payet's nationality are not OK. We have done some retrospective adjustments of various posts on this and the Palace match thread.

    We have now given ourselves a good talking to, and a ;fishslap where appropriate (or specially requested).

    Thank you.

    *Notice ends.*

    MrsGrey, would it be ok to use the term metamorphosising amphibian ;biggrin
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    My apologies.

    I am a culprit and a mod.




    You just can't get the staff.

    So I guess Seppo is not acceptable slang for a citizen of the USA?
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey

    I'd have thought it was OK, as it is not used as a derogatory term, but is rather an evolution of rhyming slang based on Yank. Which in itself is neutral, being based on Yankee.

    But I'll run it by the other mods ;ok
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    Septic Tank / Yank.

    I'd say it's ok.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    I thought seppo was one of the Marx Brothers
