S-Clarke Posted 27 July, 2011 Share Posted 27 July, 2011 Not sure how true, but I'm hearing we've rejected their offer and are only willing to sell for cash. Still holding out for around £1m. Which is why I think he'll still be here at the end of the transfer window, and will go out on loan or something. We've put an unrealistic price on his head and clubs don't want to match it.

Cabrone Posted 27 July, 2011 Share Posted 27 July, 2011 So the deal is us getting a top class champ player in a position that we are actively looking at filling whilst getting rid of a talented yet temperamental misfit? I can see the Latvian filling in the Killer\Deano role whilst Fonte takes the Claus role. I'd bite their hands off. The only proviso is if we have someone even better lined up.

SNSUN Posted 27 July, 2011 Share Posted 27 July, 2011 I don't think 29 is too old for a Championship defender, and I think he signed a contract extention last year. Perhaps it was NA's idea to include Gorkss in the deal when QPR inquired about Puncheon because he thought HCDAJFU. I wonder if he'd use that terminology though? "Morning Nigel, I want your man Puncheon and I'm willing to give you £500k and Gorkss in exchange." "Who's Gorkss?" "My centre back. Trust me, Aitch Cee Dee A Jay Eff Yoo!" "Bugger off Neil, that's OUR word." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whelk Posted 27 July, 2011 Share Posted 27 July, 2011 No need to be so rude or patronising. I didn't expect anyone to take my post so literally as saying we would make a decision purely based on age. I'm suggesting that at the age of 24, Jemal still has a long career ahead of him, meaning he has potential to improve and become a better player. Gorkss on the other hand is 30 in November and most likely at his peak, with maybe a few years left in him. Maybe Gorkss is a better player now, I don't know enough about them to make that judgement, but Jemal may grow to be better than Gorkss is now. After all the club is looking to the future, putting a big emphasis on young players and ones who are willing to play in the Championship but good enough to make the transition to the Premiership.

thorpie the sinner Posted 27 July, 2011 Share Posted 27 July, 2011 Seems that we're sticking with our first choice of Jemal. After GS on Echo twitter stating we were waiting for work permit, I think it is pretty nailed!! Only slight problem is that he hasn't played 138 games for Tunisia to qualify lol!!!!

sammysaint Posted 27 July, 2011 Share Posted 27 July, 2011 I don't think we need a CB at the moment Fonte and either RJ or Seabourne would be fine and martin will be fine for the 2nd half of the season after a loan spell at a league one or two team, i think are piorty is to sign a winger so cash for him would be better to sign someone incase AOC goes, because if he does Lallana and DR are going to have to stay fit as Holmes can do a job but hes injury prone and not going to offer us anything decent against the top 7/8 teams. maybe a new striker would be nice as well unless NA has improved Fortes finishing over pre season.

Why do we need a winger to replace Oxo if he goes - surely De Ridder will be the perfect man to cover this? And if Oxo stays then we have great options.

Flyer Posted 2 August, 2011 Share Posted 2 August, 2011 Are you happy? We should be looking at better players but Warnock does have a habit of bringing the best out of problem cases. Seeing as we only have a 1.3m budget then I suppose we arent going to get much better players for free. As for Gorkss, we are on our 25 man squad limit when Campbell and a 3rd goalie signs so we have to get rid of players where we are strongest and Gorkss is probably the least suited to the prem because of the lack of pace. Seems like a good deal for both clubs though getting rid of players where they are strong and bringing in players where they are weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
