RedReg Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 (edited) What a pointless signing, just a loan has removed all sense and excitement from the deal. Money down the drain, miraculous now NP has gone we have money to waste. Edited January 15 by RedReg Typo 13 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The obvious thing for me is that if he starts playing well and we want him guess what happens to any transfer fee.....................sounds like Burnley would not agree a fee with us.

Mr Hankey Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 So is there genuinely no buy option then? Only positive is that it’s not an obligation of £5mil……but this seems a real dumb way of using some of the Alex Scott resources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post petehinton Posted January 15 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 15 Confirmed there’s no option to buy. I’ll be honest, stinks of a bit of desperate and feels a bit pointless. 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numero Uno Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 1 minute ago, Bat Fastard said: It may leave more cash for a striker. Ok, fair point. My only issue with that is if Twine does well for us and Burnley turn round in July and say "yeah, you can have him but it's £5m now" or "we got relegated, we want him now" we are then looking for a replacement at that point who could have been getting up to speed with what Manning wants for four or five months NOW. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenred Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 The only way this makes any iota of sense is if they (Manning and the clueless three) genuinely think he gets us up. And he won’t. I really hope something comes out saying we have an option. Otherwise the nest egg is being wasted and we are not using this time wisely.

Not seeing that to be honest , hopefully option to buy but a step up on what we’ve got, why is it desperate ? I think because as far as the majority of this FANS forum our season is over, we are 4 points if the playoffs ffs 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loco Rojo Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 (edited) I guess perhaps something may have happened last minute to change the terms and City weren't willing to compromise if it meant a financial deal that was bad for us. Perhaps he didn't want to sign perm or wanted personal terms we weren't willing to meet. I can support that if it's the case. If he does well, fits in and improves us attacking wise, then we'll have a better 2nd half of the season.

If true anyway I agree if we were a top prem club, loans are used by everyone, if everyone took this approach no1 would help develop our young players like vyner and pring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
