Silvio Dante Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Honestly, WTF do people do this or think it’s funny? My first, and everyone else’s first reaction was to assume it was fake. It’s like Michael McIntyre kids - same gag over and over and not funny or even remotely original. In the words of @Robbored “I’ll believe it when it’s on the OS”...

JBFC II Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 To be honest, @Henry is just repeating whats been posted on a few Facebook groups and from the outside it looks pretty realistic.

Or we are keeping things quiet as we usually do? It may not be a dead deal, though I'm not convinced we will sign a striker, other than on loan perhaps. I imagine there will be news either way when pre-season training starts next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope so Or we aren't keen to pay the £6.5m they allegedly want? I think that’s too steep, so he goes back in the funnel imho Or we are keeping things quiet as we usually do? Probably. It’s likely we inquired, and that triggered Fry to start banding around fees and other clubs. It may not be a dead deal, though I'm not convinced we will sign a striker, other than on loan perhaps. I’m beginning to think this too, especially with us now appealing Fammy’s ban. I wonder whether we’ve sought legal advice and that has come back that it’s got no evidence.

Dastardly and Muttley Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 He’s on holiday, hasn’t returned yet so nothing’s been announced?

BLRed Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Derby in for Marriott now, forest still favourites. All moves hinder on one making first move then the rest will follow. Or nothing will happen at all.... Can't see us getting Marriott as we are never favoured choice for popular higher profile targets. i really am concerned by the state we could be left in come the end of the window. Bryan, Reid and flint gone, and I can't imagine we would replace with anyone that is equal or better. that would suggest we are looking at bottom half of table this coming season as a reasonable finish. A large amount of our goals will be gone by Reid and flint leaving and defensive solidity will be even less so without flint and Bryan. there has been no noise of any real quality targets lined up, although I appreciate keeping things quiet is important. If Watkins as a squad signing is a sign of things to come, I'm a little concerned. should we not be out there putting our eggs in baskets showing people our intentions to compete al la forest? And speaking of forest, how have they suddenly become the leagues galacticos spending vast wealth of money? Do they not abide by ffp rules like the rest? I'm sure last time I looked they don't get parachute payments... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure last time I looked they don't get parachute payments... I would take the Derby interest with a pinch of salt. Their chairman has stated that they need to sell to buy and the press are going to link them with anyone with a decent price tag and a bit of profile. I think they're much more likely to get in some high profile prem loans, perhaps spending money at the back end of the window if the sums add up. I think people need to chill out RE: signings.

The club, I’m sure, sees bargains as quality signings - eg rather than Marriott for £5M, we seem likely to get Adelakun for £0.5M. That seems like a better deal.

Dastardly and Muttley Posted June 26, 2018 Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 For Marriott, the interesting thing for me was the good luck posts with the BCFC hashtags.

We will have to see on the pitch. I actually agree with you though. Not saying we shouldn’t try to compete with the big boys in the Champ, but when we are in for the same players the fee and wages is going to start to get disproportionate to the player we are getting. Marriott imho, good player, Good price at £3m....not £5.5-6.5m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
