Official Gary Cahill transfer thread

[TANGODANCER]

Just goes to show it's better to just sit back and say nowt till PSG time.

[LiOC]

OC's hinting he wants players as a part-ex otherwise the money will go towards the debt, if today's Sun report is to be believed.

Thats surely incoherant. If having say £7mil worth of player and £10mil cash, then that suggests we'd be being given £7mil cash to spend or surely the club would be insisting on an all money swap.

Blame the Sun. I only posted what they quoted.

It's looking more and more like "our Gary" is overated & overpriced and there ain't going to be many places left for him to go to a "Champions league" club, que Bin dippers.

Quoted from Football365.com " The paper reports that Harry Redknapp is a 'long time admirer' of the centre-half, and will duke it out with Arsenal and Manchester City for the Bolton man.

The paper reckons there is a clause in Cahill's contract allowing him to leave for the bargain price of £17million - price that surely no sensible man will pay."

I really hope that we can sign him for another 5 years with higher release fee... shut-up a few.

No one is gonna pay 17 million for a defender with 12 months left on his contract with no CL or International experience.

[ohjimmyjimmy]

City did with Lescott didnt they?

[calcalstar]

Do we owe Villa anything when we sell??

[Lofthouse Lower]

Rumours vary from 0-25%, not sure anyone truly knows fo'sho

[mrpiccollo]

Why dont we keep him !! hes the reason our defence has worked since arriving the big uns arent bidding so thats probably actually really good news for us as we can keep him SIGN HIM UP!!


or we could sell him and buy some players we all think are average

[Lofthouse Lower]

1) Because he wants to leave
2) Because we want the money

[ohjimmyjimmy]

1) Because he wants to leave
2) Because we need the money

Fixed that for you

[Lofthouse Lower]

[mrpiccollo]

1/we need the money
2/ he wants to play champions league football
3/ no ones buying him and we have got to the point of slating our own valuation of him
4/ hes much better than most centrebacks
5/ he would resign

Our defence has worked?

The big uns not bidding is not good news if we want to sign some quality players for other areas.

[Lofthouse Lower]

Our defence has been shite for five years now

[aussie_wanderer]

not all the defenders fault , midfield cant keep possesion and need decent players upfront

[Lofthouse Lower]

That's correct, but we've not had decent fullbacks for ages now, and the centre halves have largely been crap

[CAPSLOCK]

Amazing we had such a good season, eh?

No defenders and no keeper
