Nogbad the Bad Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 So, City hadn't targeted Emmanuel-Thomas at all. SO'D: 'It's all come from Ipswich, we were approached to take him.' Well if he wasn't high on SO'D's wanted list we're hardly likely to meet excessive wage demands to clinch the deal. With 'financials' proving an immediate stumbling block by the sounds of it surely this deal could have been knocked on the head without the need for the player to travel to Bristol?

Eagle Eyed Posted July 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Why have you started this pointless thread? it was never going to be straight forward this deal.... Stop attention seeking for goodness sake!! Oh how I'm chuckling right now, thank you for making afternoon keepuplino. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no proof that he has travelled to Bristol anyway, im pretty sure if the club hadn't agreed terms with Ipswich the players wont be going to talk to either clubs yet. If they are asking for a fee as well then its a bit cheeky-they are getting a good player in Anderson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are asking for a fee as well then its a bit cheeky-they are getting a good player in Anderson. All true Cider Red. My point is it's one thing giving a player the opportunity to resurrect his career - his club are asking a 3rd division club to take him off their hands after all - under a manager who may get the best out of him if the wages are within our wage structure. It's quite another if that player, or his agent, is going to insist on high wages that are not easily going to be accommodated into our wage structure. He may thrive at City, he may just as easily fizzle out and be a bit part player, we don't know, but we're offering the bloke a platform to relaunch his career and if he's going to play hard to get by insisting on high wages to play in L1 then let's just forget it.

eric04 Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 It's going to be a tough deal to do. Ipswich are going to have to do some compromising here in terms of paying some of JET's wages if they want this to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coxyboy Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Unless JET is willing to take a lovely 50% wage cut this deal is well and truly off according to what I've been told. According to someone on a football forum they also want £500,000 which would be ridicule. And how exactly do you know re 50% wage drop Utter bullshit !!!

ballwinningcentrehalf Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 I can't actually believe there are still people naïve enough to think clubs don't go through agents and agree personal terms well before agreeing to any sort of financial deal with the players current club. Sometimes with the parent clubs permission, often without; but the gentlemanly notion that a club waits for a fee to be agreed is a fallacy, despite it being in the rulebook.

Corleone Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Oh how I'm chuckling right now, thank you for making afternoon keepuplino. We'll see. Im not sure what your trying to achieve by making such bold yet unfounded statements. All you do is highlight the obvious, and boast when it comes in.... The chances of JET coming here IMO are slim, solely due to wage demands, you don't need a contact to know that. The fact you have stated the deal is off, yet SOD has come out and said te deal is in its early stages.....one of you is lying, and that's obviously you. Dont make things up, it just shows you in a negative light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviestevieneville Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 People always asking if anyone knows anything about transfers etc. Eagle eyed has explained he knows someone at a player management company and was right about Fielding but some still have to come on here slagging the bloke off.

ricardob59 Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 It's possible EE is quite correct.. The deal has fallen through due to finances.. Not gonna agree or disagree with EE..

bissellredhead Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 I think some people are being a tad harsh on EE. He's only passing on info he's been told.

cummins17 Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Eagle eyed, just wondering did your source tell you this before or after he met in Bristol today?

Fordy62 Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Spoke with an Ipswich fan at work today. He reckoned that JET is on 18k at IT. Reckon it'd be more than a 50% drop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LookToTheFuture Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Emmanuel Thomas and player like him need to realise that if they want to be pro footballers and earn top money, then they need to start putting in the effort otherwise its either sign on reduced terms or start applying for JSA!
