James Collins would be a good buy. But I reckon West Ham would want about the same money as we're looking to get for Bougherra - and Collins would be on the same if not more £, so seems a bit pointless.
I wonder if Pardew will bring Sodje back on a perm deal? Would people on here be pleased with a CB pairing of Sodje and Hudson?
I agreed fully on the Reid sale, sadly i can't with this one.
Bougy is still only, what 23 ? If he has as good a season with us as i think he has the potential to do, we would double or triple that valuation in a year.
Been having this discussion re Bougherra with Carter today. This sale will cause more problems than it solves. We will never be able to bring in anyone of anywhere near the same sort of quality with even the same amount of money. This deal is a huge mistake in my opinion, if he stays we have a balanced back four (Two young energetic full backs, a man mountain centre half & someone with a touch of class & pace). Our squad is bereft of really class, this sale only serves to underline we are in for a very average season.
Here's hoping that Betis when they realise how much money he is on completely crap themselves & pull out, cos wages wise they will struggle to match what we are paying him currently.

Football wise I completely agree but if the club really need to fill a financial void which is what is rumoured then Bougy is most probably the only player of any relative value.

Couldnt agree more. I am (hopefully) looking forward to seeing them build up an excellent relationship
Spot on Kets. I am sure Pards does not want to have to sell him, so we shall just have to keep our fingers crossed that the books are almost balanced and that Bougy hasn't got his heart set on a move to La Liga.

enough have gone well except Faye
Undisclosed now means £400k.................
If you believe everything in the press that is......
I do. Always ; - )

haha. Not worth more than about 2.5m imo and anyway when Clubs know you need to sell then you are not exactly in a position to demand top dollar.
The Coke Championship or La Liga...Hmmn. Tough choice, Bougy
