CONFIRMED Iliman Ndiaye to Marseille

[Balboni]

What can we do? It's shit, but it is what it is. The £10m or so we'll end up getting won't really make a jot of difference to our now none existent survival chances. Best off just continuing with our approach of trying to rebuild the squad for the future with the mindset that's almost certainly in the championship

Exactly my point though. £10m is fuck all it’s a drop in the ocean. We are selling our only realistic chance of staying in the league.

What other promoted side sells their best player? It’s fucking mental.

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

A lot of what people forget in these situations is how strong an agents hand is…

In this particular situation the agent held all the aces….top talent, WC footballer, big teams scouting and circling, 1 year left on contract and no desire to re-sign.

 

[Balboni]

It wasn’t only him saying Berge was leaving either, bright spark.

I couldn’t care less who it’s come from. I was commenting on the suggestion that “it must be true is fabrizio says so” but well done for being able to read and understand things correctly.

So aside from that terribly boring paragraph what are your thoughts on selling Ndiaye?

 

[Balboni]

Here he comes,the grim reaper

I’m not the one selling Ndiaye Hot Cuzzle.

 

[Silent Blade]

Was going to buy tickets for Chesterfield and Rotherham matches tomorrow. Now having second thoughts

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

Fuck that. Let him go for fuck all. If we stay up then it’s worth a lot more than if he goes now and we go down.

You don’t understand football finances and current situation.

 

[FallowfieldBlade]

If we sell ndiaye we may aswell let Coventry have a crack at the Prem

I wonder what Darren smith has to say about it

A lot of what people forget in these situations is how strong an agents hand is…

In this particular situation the agent held all the aces….top talent, WC footballer, big teams scouting and circling, 1 year left on contract and no desire to re-sign.

Considering the difference he’d make to us staying the PL, and the money we’d make from staying in the PL, if we don’t get good money it’s completely brainless. Whether the agent has power or not. Unless Ndiaye refuses to play which I just can’t see..

 

[HOT CURRIE 10]

The owners at Sheffield United never cease to amaze do they.

I can take us selling Ndiaye to a big champions league club but Marseille in the farmers league

Only the owners of Sheffield United could make such a mess of what should be a happy and joyous time.

But time after time do the powers that be at the lane suck all the enjoyment out of it.

If Ndiaye goes Berge will follow Mark my words.

It is a complete lack of ambition selling to Marseille in such a poor league.

The village idiots have kidnapped the board tonight ! You and balboni must both have a severe case of PMT with the crap that you spout,go and get your mums Grattan catalogue,open it at the lingerie section and fill your boots

 

[LJBlade]

So aside from that terribly boring paragraph what are your thoughts on selling Ndiaye?

How much we selling him for?

 

[Balboni]

You don’t understand football finances and current situation.

Quite a bold claim, I understand football finances just fine. Why does no other team sell their best player when promoted?

 

[Balboni]

How much we selling him for?

“The fee has yet to be agreed between the clubs”

Could be £5, could be £50,000,000. But all signs point towards him being off.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

It would be very odd if Ndiaye just surrendered a season in the PL

Don't believe this anyway

Marseille won't spend 20m+ on anyone, let alone one with a year left on his contract. And despite our Sheffield Unitedness, 20m is the minimum we'd take

 

[HOT CURRIE 10]

I’m not the one selling Ndiaye Hot Cuzzle.

Are you still in Wee willie winkie slippers with that kind of reply.dearie me .

 

[mattbianco1]

It’s got a rumour mill thread yes, but this is a bit different as it would have an absolutely catastrophic impact to our very remote chances of survival.

Depressing state of affairs if it goes through - who sells their best player on promotion to the richest league in the world?

Why start this thread, 9 minutes after you posted in the 45page thread about him leaving?

 

[bertieblade]

I heard from a player that a deal was being negotiated.
We do not want him to go but what are we supposed to do

 

[CPB]

Reckon he's going this summer.

I feel like the board dropped the ball really.
After or during his first season I'd have given him a new deal to extend. So we would be looking at him having 2 years left instead.

Any player with a year left the vultures come circling. That's about 90% of our squad.

Given he's got a year left fee likely to be under £15m? Maybe even as low as £10m?

 

[Balboni]

Why start this thread, 9 minutes after you posted in the 45page thread about him leaving?

Alright forum police. Because it needs a bigger audience than people who just check the rumour mill. We are potentially selling our only chance of an unlikely survival. It’s ridiculous.

 

[Houso]

If we're getting anywhere in the region of 20m, then so be it. He's great and this hurts, but he's not the difference between staying up and relegation. He clearly also is desperate to go to OM.

 

[John Cutsbushes]

Will Hecky get the munneh for his budget, interesting.

Yes, Billy Sharp 2 year deal

 

[T-Blade]

Nothing agreed yet so everyone needs to chill out a little. Agreeing personal terms isn’t ideal though if he has done that. Hopefully we stand firm with this but if the player starts pushing then it’s a problem.

 

[Balboni]

Are you still in Wee willie winkie slippers with that kind of reply.dearie me .

Even if I was I’d know how to construct a sentence better than you.

 

[mattbianco1]

But you've put it in the rumour mill

 

[jono_t2000]

Yes Ndiaye to OM is still on, but it's been on since the moment he signed his professional contract with us as his dream next destination.

However unless OM suddenly get bankrolled miraculously he won't be leaving this window,

Expect pre-contract discussions for when he enters the last 6 months of his contract are where things stand now.

 

[Macfarlane21]

There's more

Tbh I'd much rather see him go to there than anywhere else

 

[Balboni]

But you've put it in the rumour mill

Right, and?

 

[dillis]

Don’t know why people are getting hysterical. If he goes then so be it. It’ll be very, very annoying but it won’t for anything like £10m. Prince has always shown bollocks when keeping players and he will know his value to us next season.
Transfermarkt usually on the money and they value him at €18M
I think anything over £20m and he’s off.

 

[S64 Blade]

Was going to buy tickets for Chesterfield and Rotherham matches tomorrow. Now having second thoughts

Why?

Yep.
Club need to agree a fee and the Prince will play hard ball

 

[knowsnowt]

Exactly my point though. £10m is fuck all it’s a drop in the ocean. We are selling our only realistic chance of staying in the league.

What other promoted side sells their best player? It’s fucking mental.

It's a total crime that we've sold him. Even though we haven't. Fuck this club.
