Simmo86 Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 Someone random posts that and you just unquestioningly take it at face value and go off on one? I despair with people sometimes. True but all the signs point to that he is going elsewhere.
Guest Col city fan Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 Have I missed summat? We haven't signed him?
kingfox Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 Seriously, Can you not grasp that it was one or the other between him and Cambiasso? What would you say if we decided on McArthur instead of him? Glad we got McArthur, because at least he is match fit & I like him. Cambiasso is not match fit, and his transfer has taken the fookin piss. And who says it's one or the other, you had confirmation on that have you, are you an ITK?
Dr The Singh Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 Have I missed summat? We haven't signed him? I've got more chance of getting laid with someone on this forum, then a signing happening!!

smudger63 Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 I think maybe i`m the only one on here, who would actually prefer McArthur to Cambiasso. I know Cambiasso has been a world class player, but at 34, and ageing legs, is he still capable of mixing it, in what is a hugely competetive and combatant league. Maybe he is, but we wont know until we`ve seen him play a few times, if indeed he does sign for us, and so for me it`s a bit of a gamble, where as McArthur is still coming into his prime age as a footballer, has already mixed it at premier league level, and aquitted himself well. He will still have that hunger and desire to be playing at the highest level, and to improve, where as Cambiasso could be just happy to have one final pay day in England, who knows! I just think with McArthur, we will pretty much know what we are going to get, with Cambiasso, we can`t be sure, at this stage in his career. In an ideal world for me, i would be happy to sign both, and let Hammond leave.(despite Hammond doing an excellent job for us in the last two games) but if i had to have one or the other, i would rather we took McArthur.
MPH Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 the fee was probably accepted but not the structure of the payments... this part has probably now been agreed...
Dan Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 OK, I've been patient with us, but if we seriously miss out to Palace then it is a complete embarrassment from us.

Of course you arent the only one. I agree. Not about Hammond though. Id keep him.
Bluearmy 316 Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2892/transfer-zone/2014/08/28/5066627/-? Really hope this is wrong. Why can't we get transfers over the line? Sure we can match palace's wage offer
foxoffderby Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 Just heard on the bootroom he played at Right Wing back in the Cup Final v Man City and did a fantastic job - as well as his midfield role could also be back up for RDL? I had a feeling he was a utility player. Its good news he can cover for RDL.
mugshot Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 Having a medical at palace Funny you should say that, a friend of mine who supports Palace was saying this afternoon that they have been given permission to talk to Mcarthur, I thought he was winding me up!!!!

mugshot Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 for fook sake. its true he did, I thought it was a wind up as I was looking at Sky News at work and saying we were looking to sign him when he dropped that bombshell...I didnt talk to him for the rest of the afternoon as it pi$$ed me off given all the Cambiasso stuff going on.
shade Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 never heard of him before this, not bothered either way. wouldn't worry me if we end up signing nobody else.

And who says it's one or the other, you had confirmation on that have you, are you an ITK? Well it certainly looks like one or the other which is pretty much what certain journos have reported
Trav Le Bleu Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 I've got more chance of getting laid with someone on this forum, then a signing happening!! EVERYONE SHAG SINGHY JUST SO WE CAN SIGN SOMEONE!!!
mugshot Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 I've got more chance of getting laid with someone on this forum, then a signing happening!! Come on then...Ill take one for the team...bend over and prepare for entry.
suffolk fox Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 We should be after Cleverly apparently villa have had an eight million pound offer accepted. If we don't get Mcarthur and Palace get him off us our wage structure will be our downfall this season. Our transfer policy and the way we do deals really does stink.
Danizen Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 Cleverley would be on huge wages. He was rated quite highly a few years ago. Plus, his confidence is obviously shot. I'd take him as a last resort but not over McArthur.

Cleverly may stay and see out his contract. He only has a year left. I really am struggling to understand why some if you don't understand - it's Esteban or jimmy - not both. I doubt JM wants to be fourth or fifth choice midfielder, even at a PL club.
65RosesFox Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 never heard of him before this, not bothered either way. wouldn't worry me if we end up signing nobody else. Based on your football knowledge and having never heard of James McArthur your opinion is highly irrelevant.
