jambodinho Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 9 minutes ago, Red Army 87 said: I agree with this, Dack has been linked with Reading so by some of the logic shown on here he is now an unrealistic target. Disclaimer; I have no idea whether Dack is a target or not, just an example. I suppose you could compare this potential transfer to someone like Bournemouth, Swansea, Norwich, Sunderland or Newcastle making an offer for Jack Grealish. Young lad with bags of potential playing for his local club, highly likely to be relegated. Been linked with bigger clubs in the past. Reluctant to move from his beloved club but if he did he would wait for a bigger club. If that dream move doesn't come along then he'd rather stay with his current club than join a lower half club that means nothing to him. In my opinion, we are not a desirable destination for many players in this league because there are so many ex premier league clubs in the championship. All of which, to a young footballer, will be more appealing than ourselves. It's natural that our fans look at our club with rose tinted glasses and ive read many on here say that we are bigger than burnley and reading and even blackburn. Potentially maybe we could be, but in the football food chain, we are nowhere near these clubs. I hope I'm wrong and he signs on Monday but really can't see it. Maybe Bolton will try to pressure him to accept our offer as they are desperate for the cash but if it got that close it would likely be hijacked by another club.

Kibs Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Lennon said on the radio there has been "A bid", which is why he hasn't travelled. Seems we are currently the only club to make a firm offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Dawe Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 1 hour ago, Lucan said: A dose of the truth might not hurt anyone, shame there wasn't more of it going round when people started predicting City to push for the playoffs this year in a fit of un-justified pre-season idiocy Pre-season, we were being linked with/making bids for/being told by Alan Pardew to bid for/in talks with the sort of players where a "push for the play-offs" would have been entirely possible, having now seen how modest most of the midtable sides are (Blackburn? Forest? Leeds? Preston?!) We might've been idiots for being taken in by most of that transfer talk, but not for thinking we might be competitive with Cardiff (4 points off 6th place) or even Ipswich (no great shakes, currently 6th). We might be light years off Mboro, Derby, Burnley and Hull but not the rest, had we signed 3 of the 5 bid for/rumoured last summer. The standard of those between us and Ipswich is not unattainable (given all sorts of things going our way/right decisions being made etc) or idiotic to aspire towards, imo (prob feel different at 5pm!)

RedorDead BCFC Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 2 hours ago, cottsciderarmy said: My contact at Bolton was my boss, initials JP. Clough will not play again for Bolton, 5 clubs have made offers 3 rejected, 2 accepted. They have gone back to the 3 clubs and told them the asking price. Clough has been asked to join one of the clubs and to hold talks this weekend and make a decision by Monday. He has given his word to NL that he will help the club out and sign for the club that suits best his needs. My guy has no idea if he will come here, but he definitely will not be a Bolton player by Tuesday. People saying that they need the cash for Tuesday is wrong, so the fact a club doesn't need to pay them the money straight up. HMRC will accept a payment plan on the 2.2m providing they can prove source and accuracy of income, so should a club pay 1m up front then 300K every quarter for the next year, then HMRC will accept that as a proposal as they will have evidence of the funds coming in. So us having 2.5M at this moment in time, is no better than Wolves having 1m now and another 1.5m in 6 months. I was always under the impression that the HMRC will accept payment plans, however this has to be within the financial year. So if they owe 2.2m (they will also gave to pay tax on said transfer fee) then they will accept payment until April 1st. This is is the way the bastards get the money out of me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formerly known as ivan Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 This deal is looking like when Baldock signed.
