This was a free swing of the bat. He is up there with the most in demand player sin world football at the moment. We throw some money in there, get a bid accepted and see. If we sign him, beautiful, if we don't then we have done Marseille a service by ensuring they get a good price for a player and therefore started a very good relationship with a club where we alraedy have a vested interest (Mandanda).

The reason I was sceptical about this is not because of the money but the way it was being done. Apart from Cabaye that Pardew had worked with before and we all knew wanted back so that wasn't a hard one for hte press to jump on, none of our signings last year were played out through the press. Our other big signing, Wickham, just one day turned up to sign the contract, no one knew anything about it.

I don't for one minute think that Batshuayi was our number 1 target but would have been a huge boost had he come, I think this was a smokescreen by both clubs, Marseille to get the bidding going which they succeeded with CHelsea paying 40mil and us to give us a bit of time to work on our other targets, well played all round.

yes, just seen that he's joining Chelsea. Credit to Parish and the board for coming so close to signing a player of this quality.

Unfortunately, we will always be facing competition for players like this, no matter what we offer the selling club and the player. Landing Cabaye was a real coup. Of course, his experience with Pardew was a major factor in his signing. We just have to hope that, if we keep attempting to sign players like this, now and then we will be successful.

Nice dream but will be dredging the 6 million and bargain basement and loan during early August as is the norm To be fair on this one the lure of Chelsea and big bucks was always going to be too good for us (but got to keep dreaming )

Remind me, was Cabaye bargain basement or loan?

You can't really be serious? You are on a wind-up right?

No I'm not, I was responding to another poster.

That crap comment was from "NickinOX" not me I have never used that language towards any player, I said that Virgil van Dijk is not that good, and he's not, he can not even get into a very poor Dutch side that have Bruma, and Willems, as a centerback pairing.

Under 25 and score over 20 goals in a season and your a 35 million pound player, just shows what a joke football gas become, glad we are showing ambition but it's just madness.

Yes he is, can't even get a regular place in the Dutch side, and their rubbish.

Forgot to add.
That included an experimental side in the match against England that meant nothing to us as we were not at Euro 2016.

Hmmm! Seems pretty clear to me....

Shame, but it doesn't surprise me.

So much for him " holding out for Champions League football " then - money talks, as ever.

I didn't think there was much chance of getting him even with a fee agreed.

So much for the Spuds forum wittering on about 'everyone knows he wants to sign for us'.
