Major Isewater Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 Jet will be off in jan if anyone will have him. Do you know this for a fact ? or is this just your opinion ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Albert Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 That would be good. How much did Assombalonga cost the Posh? Their record signing before Britt was that Tyron Barnett; when they signed him, their chairman said they 'smashed' their previous transfer record... so who knows!

RedM Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 When Fontaine went to Yeovil I think it was understood it would be with an option to buy in January, but according to the radio recently they said he had only played a couple of games for them. Not a regular starter, so unless they feel they need him and get him for nothing, I can't see them taking up the option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's because he got injured pretty soon after going there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 i think that too but gj could have seen what hes become and not want him anymore either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 I think that's because he got injured pretty soon after going there I think that was initially the case, he got injured so couldn't play for a while but he must be fit since then or else he would have been returned to us wouldnt he? But in an almost 4 month loan he has played only 4 times, imagine if one of our managers did this ( yes I know we have, and worse). Gary J knows him well, and needs him too but he still doesn't get a game. Not sure where Fontaine goes from here, a huge loss for him and us and a real shame.

JamesBCFC Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 But he is OUR player, perhaps only on a one year contract. If we need to sell him i am sure Championship Clubs would be interested. I thought it was a 2 year contract, so we still have 18 months where JET is contracted to us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeovil have so many loan players that they can only use so many ( 5?) in there squad on a match day. 2 weeks ago Fontaine couldn't even be named in the squad because of this,the following game he started. GJ sends players back to clubs and brings others in on loan on a monthly basis,the sooner they are forced to stop this farce the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On reading that I think you could have it spot on, I do think SOD was right about not being able to play fontaine, I missed last season but in the few I saw this season before he went on loan fontaine wasn't bad as some people on here made him out to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do admit I didn't know that, so hopefully it's just the too many loanees rule keeping him out rather than lack of form. Still not sure how valued he is to Yeovil though, so I doubt if they are looking to buy. I guess they might look to extend he loan until the end of the season when he will be ooc then?

GrahamC Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 Fontaine played on Boxing Day because another of Yeovil's loan players deal had expired. I expect he'll be involved tomorrow as well. Whether they are interested in him permanently next month time will tell. Kilkenny will go and I expect JET, Elliott, Harewood, Shorey and O'Connor will be off too. Not sure if SC will look to keep Gillett and Osborne, it may depend on whether he feels there are better options out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTone Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 Yep, the way Cotterill - and Lansdown - have been speaking, I'd expect a fair bit of money to be spent. As I said in another thread, I'm expecting someone Britt Assombalonga-esque to come in. You might get someone Leslie Q-esque if you are really lucky but that's about it I reckon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glynriley Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 Who will want Elliot? He can't get a regular place in a team near the bottom of league 1. With any luck, the same club as the OP thinks will buy Wilson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Watts Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 We have money from Albert and Davies leaving in the summer, I wouldn't mind letting him go (As long as Kelly is back) for cheap to get him off the wage, Same as Pearson offer him out for 50k and see if there is interest No one is going to offer any money for a player who is out for the season and can then be nabbed on a Bosman when he is fit. Pearson will only be gone if we pay him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redrobbin Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Hmmmm, this could be a problem for a pro footballer but the upside is that we will save on things like, boots, shin pads & socks. And possably wages. He must be one if the higher earners in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Running Man Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Wilson was highly thought of at Cheltenham, we called him back from the loan, they didn't send him back. Could be an option until the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be an option until the end of the season. We didn't. His month expired and the player he had covered for was available again. Cheltenham couldn't afford to waste wages on an area they no longer needed cover in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
