LeazesMag 0 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 how long will it take for word to get around that talking terms with Newcastle United just isn't worth the bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) Not defending the transfer policy in general as we should be aiming higher than Larsson but he's probably asked for daft money off Brum, or he wouldn't be out of contract come the summer. So I'm not that arsed either way tbh but it's not a great sign for the current / coming transfer windows by any means.

sniffer 0 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Talking terms with Newcastle didn't seem a problem for the likes of routledge and perch. Unfortunately. One report said Larsson was only on 10K a week at Birmingham so you have to wonder what he was after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest You FCB Get Out Of Our Club Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Quite pleased we're not getting Larsson. We should put a cheeky one in for Alexis Sanchez imo, no one else wants him or he wouldnt still be at Udinese. I can't be the only one who can see this boy is world class, surely he'd want to come here rather than a shite Serie A club. If we got him for 6s, he'd be worth 20s within 18 month.

You watch much Italiano Footy Stevie? Where is it shown nowadays ESPN, I'll have a look on a Sunday night if I'm doing fuck all else and get a bet on, seen glimpses of him in the league. Where he really impressed me was the World Cup, CLEARLY he's not a player who would just be a flash in the pan in that tournament, like Beausejour is proving to be at Birmingham. He is fuckin amazing, it would be like having two Ben Arfa's only Sanchez can really comfortably play wide amazing player, and Kevin he plays for Udinese, why not? We're bigger than them surely.

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Seen elsewhere that these wages he wants are in the £20-30k bracket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19879 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 can't see anything but a typically underwhelming ashley style transfer window. not being able to meet larsson's wage demands ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney 0 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Yeah, he wanted parity with Jerome on £25k per week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deano 0 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Disappointing as he'd of provided quality service for the big man. Let's be honest though...he was on 10k and wanted to at least double his wages coming here. We don't want that kinda ego in the dressing room. Clearly didn't want to be part of what we are doin here. Let's just see if they can find someone better. Another unknown African with tilted commitment but with a bit of guile would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 9038 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Both ourselves and the mackems have pulled out of the deal because of cash, so that suggests Young Mr Larsson is a little greedy. We might be averse to big wages on average players these days, but the mackems aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Bentley to Birmingham confirmed. Say what you want about him and Larsson but either would have definitely improved our squad. Can only hope we've got other options on the go because we're really short on depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac-Toon 1 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I'm not too bothered that he's not going to be coming but it shows exactly the type of direction we're heading. I don't think we're in a position to be dictating strict wage caps for good players to come here. How much is Ben Arfa getting? Nolan? Taylor? Collo? I expect Larsson classes himself as a proven premiership player and would want his worth in a squad of over earning underachievers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third rate players found the mega wages previously on offer very attractive, unfortunately for us, whilst signing the same calibre now, we're calling a spade a spade.
