And that is going to be tricky. But the closer it gets to Aug 31st the more likely Bournemouth will do a deal on paying up his expensive contract. They won't do that when there are still 2 and a half months left for someone else to come in and pay him what he's earning now. Surely the first thing that needs to be done is an official offer to Bournemouth. If they aren't prepared to accept an offer for him (he is under contract to them, after all) then there is no deal. If BCFC start to negotiate with his agent, isn't that classed as an illegal approach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Rag Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 In my world it's quite simple. Make an offer that you are happy with and will not go beyond. If its acceptable fine, then do the deal, if it's not move on. Faffing around for the sake of what proberbly is a small percentage is a waste of time. Agents and players alike will soon get the message that bcfc don't mess about. Whilst he is a good player and one I would like us to sign there are others out there. We could be heading towards the scenario of last season. Let's Get the business done early, train together as a team as early as possible. Hope I am wrong but this rings of last years fiasco in transfer dealings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they're happy to sell. The tricky bit is personal terms. We will have been talking to his agent(s) since he was here last season. No point "officially" lodging a our offer to bournemouth if we are no where near Tomlin's terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine Bournemouth want rid and have named their price and as someone mentioned we are able to meet that price. Thats not the problem in my opinion. The problem i reckon is getting near his (alleged) £30k a week wages. I hope City never pay that to one player given our current standing and fan base. When the club and the agent are singing off the same hymn sheet I'm sure an official offer will be made to LT for him to peruse on which ever beach he is on at the time.

I've just saved £149,800 and am now rich beyond my wildest dream. Or doesn't it work like that? If your Mazda gets you from A to B in the style you wish, then it's a "Yes from me." Perhaps you've named it Vardy? If you've saved all that money but your new purchase doesn't start first time , is constantly going in for repairs and not available for important journeys, then its a "No from me."

Cider red Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Surely we just meet his evaluation, give him a singing on fee of 2.5 mil plus 15k a week, this ensures he in effect gets the same wages as at Bournemouth, with goal bonuses etc in his deal. Either we want him or we don't, but stop fannying around already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivorguy Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 In answer to Cider red, No. The club may believe there is someone just as good who is cheaper and won't break our budget on one player, leaving more money for two players. It isn't as simple a process as some on Otib think Trust Mark, Lee etc - I am positive they know what they are doing and moreover have all the facts whereas Otib depends largely on guesswork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric04 Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Remember if Bournemouth don't want him (as we are led to believe) they don't want to be wasting £30,000 a week on his wages this season. So the closer we get to the window shutting, the better chance we've got of them "doing a deal" whereby they pay off some of that contract to enable him to take a wage cut with us but not be out of pocket. the questions are a) whether we are prepared to be that patient, and b) whether another club come in who are happy to meet his current wages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
