Optimistic Nut 9 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 There's two articles on that website about it. One from last night saying we were going to bid 10m euros, then that one from this morning, so perhaps the English press hasn't picked up on that bit yet.

Isegrim 8948 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 I'm sure that as.com website's saying we've bid £9m plus Ameobi. 14971[/snapback] So that's 5m in total. No wonder the bid was rejected... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted August 19, 2005 Author Share Posted August 19, 2005 from what i've seen of Luque, he's pacy, powerful, direct, good on the ball, a decent crosser, and he has on the best left-peg's in europe, his left foot makes Robert's efforts into L7 look timid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut 9 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 I think he'll sign. Perhaps a Press Conference in just over 3 hours time to confirm this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 35539 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 if we had bidded the right money first he could of possibly been on tyneside for a medical today! 15017[/snapback] You can't blame Shepherd for trying to save a bit of cash with the first bid, assuming the deal still goes through with an improved bid. Whatever your first bid is they'll always ask for more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol 0 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 If the deal goes through, Deportivo themselves would be looking to bring in a new striker, with the likes of Marc Viduka and Carlton Cole having been mentioned on Spanish websites recently.

At this rate they could end up with a worse strikeforce than ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever your first bid is they'll always ask for more. 15021[/snapback] We also have the problem that we've gone from trying to sign three players to just signing one. Perhaps we're still in for Anelka too, which would explain why we're keeping money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The final selling price is usually somewhere between what was first asked for and the offered. Any excuse to have a go at Shepherd eh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1117 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Luque is basically a left forward/winger. He's not, as his stats back up, a 15-20 goal a season main striker. If this goes through (and I hope it does), it still leaves us short a striker (and another as cover!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor 0 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Not really looking like it's going to go through. Anyone see Souness on SSN? He sounded very pessimistic about the whole thing. He said he won't settle for 3rd or 4th choice players though and that Luque is the type of quality he is after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
