Fiorentina Babacar [now seems to be heading for Palace]

[British Bulldog]

If these bids are true for both players, why oh why have we left it so late that they can keep upping the prices? It makes no sense to me.

Smoke screens for the player we are really after.

 

[Weststander]

Running out of options now. Hopefully the club has learned from this because it's becoming a joke now

Let's wait until 11pm tomorrow.

Two quality strikers and a RB will prevent the joke tag. If not, ....

Make a proper bid and get the deal done we aren't in a position to play games

Even for Tony it's a bit late on the table for double bluffs.

 

[HCxUK]

Perhaps that's something that could have been investigated a few days/weeks/months ago.

Yep, leaving the most important bits of business until the last day of the season, and then bidding for players that clubs want to keep hold of is a pretty indefensible transfer strategy.

10 goals in Serie A last season, looks strong and quick, i like him.

Chip in your BR pension, that should swing it

 

[pishhead]

If we think you can get Babacar for 13 million euros/dollars/pounds then whoever is putting the bids in is drunk and should go home.

Have to imagine there would be a board meeting/ discussion /review of progress so far then ENSURE deals are completed tomorrow..or face epic failure of biggest proportions on the world football stage..

Yes it's awful isn't it..what are the club doing ..useless ..pathetic ..they know nothing

Because they followed the advice of NSC 'experts' who told us in April, May and June that prices fall at the very end of the window, with clubs desparate to offload.

The other school of thought was that that's a bloody risky game and that fees/wage demands increase.

 

[jezzer]

If we got him ?? Yes please!!!

Perhaps it was?

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

Work permit?

Imagine the reaction on NSC ..that's probably been discussed as well

I don't know what's more amazing:-

1) Barber out saying that.
or
B) Fan(s) believing it.

Absolute madness.

Has his name cropped up on NSC before?

HOW MANY FRICKIN TIMES - many player purchases are highly dependent on other player sales/purchases. It is slightly possible that we're stuck in these chains even though we'd rather have done our business by now. I seriously doubt that any side wants to leave its business this late - and yet somehow it happens. Perhaps everyone apart from Huddersfield are just crap at this stuff?
