Didn't we sign him for the best part of £2m last August because he was an exciting skillful winger. On loan mush. Think it's extremely likely.

Is that not what we are doing by offering a fee? This isn't a supermarket where you just pick up the player and take him to the till. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redrascal2 Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 How many times do we miss out. If it is someone we are keen to sign and we are in first then I was suggesting we get it done before other clubs come in for him. But thanks for explaining that players are not on sale in supermarkets. Very enlightening and showing a real grasp of the transfer system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 1 hour ago, Carey 6 said: That's exactly how I see him. Got to admit I originally saw him on one of Harry's lists a few years ago, since then always took an interest in how he was getting on & hoped we would sign him. Thanks @Carey 6. I did indeed put him on one of my lists on here a few years back. I first saw him at 16 back in 2012 and recommended him to McInnes at the time. A very skilful player is Adelakun and one who should definitely be plying his trade above League 1 - I know he had a drink-driving issue about 3 years ago so perhaps that meant his stay at Scunny was prolonged as he’d have been a big risk to anyone back then. But as far as I know, he’s straightened himself out in that respect. 1 hour ago, Monkeh said: i think it was 75k cash plus a number of add ons that would of made the fee up to 300k, thats pretty standard in compo cases, If scunny reject it then it will go to tribunal I believe it worked out at £100k all told.

Pace, power, etc. Fed up with playing left footers on the right, cutting in all the time. We need 4 wingers for next season. COD & Eliasson on the left, Watkins and Adelakun on the right.

The problem is that it isn't as simple as a player having a price and us having to pay it. When we make an offer there are other parties with an interest in increasing the price to get the best deal for the club and the player, therefore deals get leaked. It is not unique to us but all clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 A big yes from me. Him and Watkins would be a great start to the window. Probably need a young forward on loan from someone to get through the 6 games without Fam but that is two starting wingers ready to go from day 1 if we sign HA.

I have a sneaking feeling we won't sign a striker other than on loan. I think we may go with one up front in a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-3-3 with 2 wide attackers. LJ rates Taylor highly and if he gets a full pre season in he will be in the running. Paterson will I believe be seen as an auxiliary striker.

Paterson will I believe be seen as an auxiliary striker. Paterson not got the physique or stamina to fill the Reid role for me but we shall see - would certainly save a bob or two if he could. Needs to be in the team somewhere for his technique, brain and goals but we need strength in depth so he can be rotated and rested. Perhaps he should spend the summer at that gym Reid goes to in the off season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I am not sure he would be a regular. Brownhill I can see being pushed into a #10 role at times and even COD. It is nice that we seem to be looking a bit harder in England this summer. 21 minutes ago, chinapig said: I have a sneaking feeling we won't sign a striker other than on loan.
