BRISTOL86 Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Cotts quoted 'it would be nice if it were to come off but I'm afraid there isn't much I can say on that at this moment in time' Clearly we are in for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curr Avon Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 A lot of our own fans are deluded about our size and successes, but if you asked a Northerner or Yank to point out on a map where Bristol is and where Brentford is, I'd hazard a guess that more would know/heard of us over another generic London hamlet. Exactly. Davy Crockett visited the London Borough last week and when the locals questioned why he was sporting headgear made of animal skin, he exclaimed; "When I told my friends I was going to Brentford they said wear the fox hat."

BRISTOL86 Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Tell you what, whatever happens I'll be glad when the window shuts. This is exhausting. Why we couldn't have just done our business in the summer. It would be great to have the transfer window close before the first game IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChippenhamRed Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Only thing I would say about this is, a few weeks ago Cotterill talked about a mystery 7 million pound player and everyone was up in arms saying how we won't be bullied into paying "over the odds". Then the Gayle bid and now this, and apparently we're all delighted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkateee Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 It's all being built up for an epic fail, only for another club to come in. Cotts is trying his best to be honest, but the fee involved is a tad on the high side for my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chaplain Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 You've misread and misunderstood my posts entirely fella. My point has been that we shouldn't be looking in the Championship as it is over valued. There is value elsewhere. Will Grigg 1 million... Gray....worth 8 times that? Really? As for transfer fees...I understand them...hence why i'm saying it's madness to be paying 8 million for a striker who's only had one seasons experience in the Football League. SL can buy who he likes...but he's still got to find wages within budget, and players have to want to come here, and that see it as a step up in their career or the right move. All of a sudden since it was reported that we offered 8 million for Gayle, certain fans have changed their tune and thought 'great...we've got cash....buy, buy, buy on anyone'....as we are running out of time. Only a month ago...people were saying 'bullshit' to paying such high figures...now because of one confirmed reported bid, everyone it seems has changed their tune....all in a month and because of one high bid. Madness. Reading this forum now, is like when we were splashing cash in our first season up again. Quotes like 'SL is making a statement of intent'....similar to when everyone was in shock when we bought David James. Sorry...but it all looks like desperate measures now, because we ****ed up earlier on in the transfer market. As for 'bleating' about transfer fees...you are so wrong...as I've not 'bleated' at all....just aware their is value for money elsewhere outside the Championship. I'd agree with this if wages were proportionate to transfer fees. My guess is that they are increasing not, Gray wont be earning 8 times Grigg,and probably less than Gayle. If you have the access to ready cash, outside of the wage budget, which clearly we do, it's not such a big deal to spend it and doesn't necessarily mean we blow our budget, or the budget that counts, especially with a squad our size.

Fordy62 Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I don't know why anyone is panicking about the 8,000,000 fee. 3 years ago Luton paid 30,000 for him. So if his current value is 8,000,000, then if we buy him and things don't work out, in 3 years we can just sell him for 2,133,000,000. That is the way transfers work isn't it?
