If he's gone back up north, I can't see him suddenly having a lightbulb moment where he has an urge to sign for us. Hopefully I'm wrong but I'd be more shocked to see him sign than not.

Bristol Rob Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 The lad is probably resigned to the fact he'll be moving on, and his agent is probably busy trying to drum up interest from other clubs - if they don't, he'll sign and if the agent does manage to get another club to table an acceptable bid and it suits the fella more, he'll sign for them.

He takes his proper advice from retired footballer Peter Withe. And if Peter says it's a good idea, he'd do it. Basically, Peter Withe-wood, then so would Zach. #Laboured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaverface Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 I do get the fact that this is a big move for a young lad, but we've got to remember that this is a professional business and if he isn't going to join us, we need a quick answer so we can move on and try and buy someone else. Maybe City should twist the knife a little and say that for every day that passes, the transfer fee on offer will decline by £100,000 (or something along those lines) I get the impression that Bolton and playing for time, and Clough is playing for time as well, so the more pressure we can apply, the better. On the flip side, I remember the Joey Beauchamp transfer saga where he got homesick for Oxford !! So it's not always a simple choice for some.

Nothing heard by now isn't good, and the club aren't exactly going to put a press release out saying he has turned us down! Let's hope we have others lined up and have started work on those, it is clear that we put a good offer on the table so there's no reason why we can't do that for another player who may be more interested in the move. If nothing is heard by kick off tonight I would expect Cotts to mention it in his interview after the game, let's hope we get a decent result so he feels happy to divulge!!

What I mean is, we want Bolton to apply a little more pressure from their end, so if they know they're going to start losing transfer funds because it's being dragged out, they may encourage him to make a decision sooner rather than later.

Guest Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 3 hours ago, BCFC Jordan said: He direct messaged me, not the other way around. So not exactly sure how that equates to stalking? But thanks for your judgmental comment. You continue to attempt to track down where posters are coming from, but call me a stalker? Fed up of snidey little remarks just because I receieved a DM over twitter so I will post it because of that. There isn't anything ground breaking in it, but because it was private I didn't really want to. Can't be bothered with the all the snide little remarks any longer. Hopefully he doesn't mind me posting. Calm down dear, the picture I uploaded was a location demographic from google anaylitics. Hardly stalking. IP's have always had a location attached to them since the begining of the internet (well, IPV4 anyway) I'm just personally of the opinion we'd all be better off leaving the discussions between the player and his family to the club and its officials. You cannot come on to this forum, of all places, and say you've had a DM conversation with his father and not expect some of the comments you had. Perhaps next time just keep it to yourself.

Still not nice to wake up and find yourself unnceccessarily branded a stalker when it was the other person that initated the conversation. It's not as if I'm involved with discussions in the deal is it? It is all between the players, managers and officials - I never claimed otherwise. Once again, he chose to message me! You can say calm down dear, but it's not nice to be labelled a stalker. You inexplicably shut down a whole website before for seemingly being in a bad mood, so you're not in the best position to be making patronising comments like that.

At least Clough speaks the same language as the rest of the team (well more or less). Anyway, Frankie is from Blackburn, so he can translate if necessary. So come on Zach, we won't eat you! Maybe he won't get 'eaten',but if he takes half an hour to have a nose at this forum he may well be seen running for the hills screaming all the way!!!!!!!

With this modern day twitter thing, I don't think the odd message/tweet is the issue, its the potential avalanche from all and sundry where the issues might arise. Not the fault of any one individual necessarily, yet impossible to control or manage its effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I say, what did you expect, you know as much as me what this place is like.
