We won't be entering into these types of scenarios anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Isewater Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 My take on the possible transfer; The bloke knows where the net is and could be an excellent signing but not at any price . We want value from our signings and if those greedy fockers at Posh take it all then there isn't any. The ridiculous fees being quoted for him would bring in much better quality than a L1 player who has had one outstanding season . I just hope that we don't get sucked into the selling club's little game wanting to show the world how great we are at negociating by unveiling this player at 5 or 6 million with the inevitable add ons . I won't count on it though . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboBCFC Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 He scores goals, and goalscorers will always cost a premium. Reminds me of a Pitman that can run. Think he's well worth it personally, with the obvious caveat that I'm not paying anything towards it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a proven Champ striker is £10-15m then £5-6m for the best of the next tier feels about right if you think he has the capacity to step up the level. Given that Posh fans rate him higher than Gayle and Assombalonga I’d say that money sounds like it’s not bad in context of the market and the individual.

He's interested. He might be particularly interested to see how our strikers in recent seasons have fared. Kodjia did well and moved on to Villa for big money. Tammy, although not our player, did very well in his season here and moved on to the prem and now one of our own players has moved to the prem for big money after a stellar season. He might think that to further his career as a striker we are a good choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people still get a sweat on when we start talking 7 figures. Indeed times have changed, and the Championship as we all know is a brutal division. Unfortunately if you don't dig deep then you'll be back to L1 in the blink of an eye. Yes you can pick up the odd bargain now and again (Kodjia) but they are rare, but most of the time if you want any sort of quality you have to pay for it! Look at Forest at the moment, going completely crazy with their spending. Will FFP come into it? That's another team that will probably push us down a notch, then someone else spends big, and we go down another notch, and suddenly the L1 trap door is in sight again. I'm not saying we go mad ourselves but we have to at least compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quickness of the brain and feet is the key though. Wasnt it Mickey Quinn who said he was the quickest player over 1 yard in the 1st Division? 47 minutes ago, BRISTOL86 said: Yep.

I was gonna say that I still think £5-6m is too much for a League One player and then saw this? Maybe that’s the going rate really. Still seems a lot, but hey-ho.

Ohbasso Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 If we’ve got 10m for Bobby and spend 5-6 on Marriot I think that’s fair enough. It sounds a lot but at the end of the day it’s the going rate now a days and still leaves us with a tidy profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your 'likes' total indicates most posters really appreciate your BCFC input so just stick to that if i were you and literally ignore the rest - don't allow needless squabbling to overshadow your otherwise very positive contribution.

If you’re including me in that, I’m absolutely not. Read my posts and you’ll see that I’ve only ever tried to rein in the belittling comments about other posters Bob sometimes makes. He acknowledged at the time of his ban that he should try to calm down. I’ve always praised the general content of his otherwise excellent posts and tried to make balanced comments about him. Clearly that doesn’t work in his eyes or yours presumably. How am I attempting to rile him by asking him not to insult other people? To my knowledge I’ve never insulted him, as far as I can remember.

I don’t like any personal insults flying around, but you’re the only one I’ve noticed who consistently goes down that route. And your point rather avoids the main issue of you own behaviour. Like I said originally, it leaves a sour taste and I’d just prefer a forum where you attack the post, not the poster, to coin a phrase. Isn’t that fair comment?

More on the periphery, occasionally joining in but tbf. probably in what you see as an attempt to maintain forum harmony - even if your comments do always seem to be joining in 'against' Bob ( or perhaps more the way he expresses himself when he feels under attack) rather than those, imo, baiting him. I can only repeat my suggestion for all concerned to use the bloody ignore button and put an end to this nonsense. Back to Marriott...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
