miketh2nd Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 This is crazy I didn't believe my friend when he told me ! I'm just not holding my breath he hasn't agreed to come here yet. But if he did sign I bet other players would sign as we have would of shown our intent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityloyal473 Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Having a bid accepted is one thing; having him agree to join is another. The Leicester bid for Maynard rings a bell here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downendcity Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 I think it's the ongoing commitments - i.e. chiefly wages - that the money boys are worried about. One-off payments, like transfer and agents' fees, are a slightly different matter, though that's not to say that we should go throwing SL's cash around like confetti. The other possible consideration, as lots of posters have pointed out, is our cut of any Bolassie transaction, which could be substantial and may account for a large slice of this deal. The club will have determined the wage budget at the start of the summer, bearing in mind ffp limitations. The only thing with a signing like Gayle's is that he will want top dollar ( for us) and that will eat heavily into the wage budget. That in turn might put restrictions on how much is now in wage kitty, forcing Sc to lower his sights in other departments. If this comes off then it does show real intent, but puts huge pressure n Gayle to deliver . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDOXO Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Bottom 6 budget ! Some of the money is likely from a buyout of the Bolaise sell on. As above! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillies Downs Leeds Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Not saying it will happen but I did say a bit back once all the various moves have been made I thought we would end up with Dwight Gayle and was shot down in flames!!

Lordofthebling Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Holy cow! But I do hope we've got a centre back and central mid lined up too... Also hope we are prepared to change from 3-5-2 if all hits the fan. Christ my glass if half empty!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickolas Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Sod that transfer fee, i think our wages top limit may just be doubled to stand a chance of tempting him here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinman-is-god Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 6million is what palace paid Peterborough for him. Since that hrs scored goals in premier league and got better as a player. Very excited about this one I will only be excited about this if we sign 4 other players to start/seriously challenge in the areas we are hugely weak - defence and centre mid. We have 4 players (Flint, Williams, Ayling and Smith) that can play there - we need 4 new defenders and centre mids far more than another quick forward.

tinman-is-god Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Can see where you are coming from, but Cotts has based his team on attacking. The most worrying bit about Saturday was we were non existent as an attacking force. Perhaps. But Flint could get shown up and Pack is clearly not good enough. Smith, Ayling and Williams are good enough to play but we need at least 4 more in these areas. Clean sheets are critical. When we went down in 99 I don't think we have ever had 3 forwards as good at the club (from mid-90's onwards) at the same time as Akinbiyi, Thorpe and Anderson at BCFC but it didn't save us!
