Transfer targets (30 Viewers)

[The Philosopher]

Strange choice but I wonder how much of a factor as a midfielder being coached by one of the country’s best in the last 20 years

I don’t get it, if you are a loan player with a time span of say 9 months at a club, why up sticks to travel / move to Teeside?

Surely if he lives in Notts he’d prefer to stay local and commute down the M1?

(Unless he still lives near Huddersfield in which case why not Leeds)?

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Be surprising if so

My mans maintained since Hamer left it was someone from abroad we wanted

Then again, wanting and getting are 2 different things aint they. I want sex for example. Never get it

Explains a lot now…

Middlesbrough from Nottingham isn't much further if at all than Nottingham to Ryton

 

[Saddlebrains]

Any idea on who though saddle ?

For the sex or the signing?

 

[Matt smith]

Come on saddle

Really? Had to Google Map that out of curiosity

Nottingham (City ground) to Middlesbrough 2hr20

Nottingham to Ryton 1hr

So……

Whatever.

It's about two and a half hours to Middlesbrough from the A46 in Coventry (let's say two hours 50 to be generous). To get to the Nottingham junction from the same place is just over an hour.

Fact.

You live slightly North of that junction it's equidistant to Ryton.

You need to brush up your northern wisdom.

Do the journey every month. Footballers are, after all, well renowned for living right in the city centre.

(Apart from Biamou, who actually did!)

Shut up stop overreacting

leave that to @Perryccfc

Eh? You change your tune more than a broken piano

Any good guesses on some signings

Honestly mate, i dont know

All I've been told since is Hamers replacement number 1 target was abroad

If thats not the case id suggest we missed out

 

[NorthernWisdom]

I know this is a Hamer thread redux but... in the club's defence.

Should GIMOC have been correct, Hamer loved the club and was willing to sign a new contract... but this was his play fully expecting the club not to meet the demands but they did, therefore meaning he moved later in the window than he anticipated while the club expected him to stay...

It wouldn't be unreasonable for our planned replacements to have all sorted themselves out at other clubs by now.

 

[The Philosopher]

He may live in Huddersfield or he may want to move back to Huddersfield

I thought that, but as I said, why not Leeds
which is much nearer to Huddersfield.

(Unless you are Northern Wisdom in which case you have a different version of Google maps on your phone)

You appear to be incapable of grasping the real world by its horns.

If “madness” is saying that Cov / Ryton is closer to Nottingham than Middlesbrough is then line up…..

I don't think that sort of thing is anywhere near as relevant to a 2 hour a day footballer than it is to somebody working 9-5

So a 4.40hr round trip to do a 2hr training session is irrelevant?

Or them or their club just aren't interested?

I'm actually with you on this tbh

 

[Finham]

Hamer fee was genuinely undisclosed of course, so we don't actually know what we got.

Maybe it was £5mil up front...?

This worries me a bit. It clearly wasn't the £15m up front that posters consistently add to our transfer kitty with wild abandon!

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Just read albeit Alan Nixon that there’s a shortage of players coming from the Premiership to the Champ this season. Some of it is the knock on effect of Saudi buying up Premiership fringe players.

 

[Evo1883]

Boro can probably pay more of his wages if we are being honest , and that's probably the deciding factor in all this

I'm sure the club or team mates could accommodate him from time to time? Or supply a driver and transport? You are talking pampered people here, they don't even have to remember to take their boots on matchday.

3 new signings to be unveiled at the Super Store by MR tomorrow

 

[PVA]

This is like when some people were saying Coventry to Kent is a longer commute than Coventry to the Netherlands
