We are operating in footballing backwater so we should expect to have to pay over the odds on wages. As far as I am aware 1. the two Clubs agree a fee 2.then the player comes to the buying Club and susses it out. 3. If they feel okay about joining they then negotiate terms 4. If they agree the player has a medical 5. If that is okay the players signs. Bob's yer flipping uncle, Fanny's yer aunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coppello Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Can we put a clause in his contract which states, if he scores on Saturday, he has to go full Adebayor circa 2009: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfc01 Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 So, with LJ now playing with one striker with success, where does Wells fit in ? Can he play that role ? Or will LJ change to two up front ? I remember back in 2008 when we got Adebola in and GJ changed the system to fit him in - players since then have said it was a mistake which may have cost us promotion (nothing against Adebola who was a good player for us). I hope we're not going to make the same mistake again. (not that he's signed for us yet of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin_unreliant Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 If it is a permanent deal I'm wondering if the length of contract will be an issue. If he wants 3 years plus will we go there given his age? We want him for short term impact while understandably he'll want a long contract as it could be his last at his age. Maybe more of an issue than his wage level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are ways Yeah, ask Derby, Birmingham, QPR & Sheffield Wednesday how those other ways are working out for them? It’s not we’re in financial difficulties, we’re just playing to the rules of our governing body but I expect SL would love to get a £40m fine like QPR got just for signing someone that doesn’t guarantee anything. It’s not like we’re planning on pushing the boat out for Ronaldo who is more likely to get us promotion but saying that, how’s Rooney working out for Derby?

Would like a lecture on how profit and loss works? If I spend money I don't have I make a loss. If I spend money in the hope I make more lonely as a result of it (see Aston Villa - for now), I'd better be pretty confident in my strategy or I could lose anawful lot more (see Derby, QPR, Birmingham etc).

We always get over run in a 4 4 2 other than fulham away .. it doesnt seem to suit us ... maybe 4-4-1-1 with pato swapping with fam depending on home or away games... or then again could try weimann and wells up top ... if wells can link the play like Afobe...

Simon bristol Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Hopefully he is a goal scorer, but this transfer should have been done 3 years ago, not now! At 29 we will have to sell someone just to cover the reduction in transfer value that we will suffer as he gets older Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
