Administrator considers Moses bids
Administrators currently in charge of the financial affairs of Crystal Palace have been considering bids from QPR and Nottingham Forest for talented 19 year old starlet, Victor Moses. In a further development however, Moses’s agent, Tony Finnegan, has now claimed that Mike Ashley and Newcastle United have finally thrown their hat into the ring with a bid too. Though we are not cynical here at NUFC Blog, it has been known for agents to talks complete and utter guff in an attempt to get the best possible deals for their clients. Of course though, we wouldn’t dream of suggesting that anything of the sort was happening here!
While the West Brom bid is known to be around £1.5 million, it is not known for certain what the other bids are at this stage. However it is thought that the player will eventually go for a much higher sum, with West Brom manager, Roberto Di Matteo conceeding that he may lose out to some much weightier bids before the player’s fate is sealed.
Meanwhile, the Administrators have acknowleged that Moses was intententionally left out of the Palace squad for their away game with the Magpies yesterday evening (much to the annoyance of Palace’s manager, Neil Warnock), with head administrator, Brendan Guilfoyle admitting:
“I could not sleep worrying that Victor might be injured, which could jeopardise the future of the club,” adding:
“The manager was very disappointed.”
Moses is a versatile winger, who can also operate as a striker. Born in Nigeria in 1990, he has, so far, spent the whole of his footballing career at Crystal Palace, having joined the ranks of the youth academy there in 2004. So far, he has made a total of 90 appearences for the South London club in all competitions, finding the net twelve times. He has also made numerous international apperences with the England Under 15, Under 17 and under 19 teams.
