Transfer Rumour Bobby Thomas (17 Viewers)

[Greggs]

Is it Robert, but he calls himself Bobby?

[Matt smith]

This signing is the type of profile we love to go for, particularly in defense

I think he’ll be a great addition

 

[Greggs]

bitter and twisted weirdo

players are being warned away from him as well

I wonder if his ego will stop him attending games now he can't host his mates in the box. I imagine his pride will be battered if he has to sit in amongst us. Saying that, I have no clue what he looks like.

 

[SkyblueDad]

Didn't the Brighton element get paid by sporting?

I think we ended up with 19million pounds+ add ons

 

[SkyblueDad]

Latibeaudiere was playing LCB in a 3 at the back end of 21/22 for Swansea. Potentially could be Lati - Fadz - Thomas but like others have said we'll probably be adding a couple more in that position.

New CB - Thomas - Lati is probably the long term goal

Joel L Alsos happy at cdm so if in a back three I reckon he will be more suited central, whatever with those two we need a good lcb for balance and we need a rwb, get these positions things will be looking good imo.
Concentrate on a second striker then as a partner for Simms.

 

[ccfcchris]

Why is it that when we sign a player MR suddenly becomes a fuckwit who doesn't know what he's doing and should have consulted with posters on here to tap into their vast extensive database of players?

I mean what the hell does he know?

 

[San Francisco]

IMO if Bobby Thomas is confirmed then we'll need another 2 CBs, a RWB and a striker then we'll be good to go. Anyone else would be brought in for added depth.

 

[SkyBlueMatt]

Christ, we're a right bunch of whingers.

Sky Sports always includes add-ons in their figures (hence Simms @ 8mil). Either way, in hindsight most people on her would be very happy if we had spent 2mil on McNally last year instead of a loan.

I'm confident Robins and his team know what they're doing. He's 22, when he comes in and has a solid season, you'll all be happy.

Yet again I ask, who is whinging????

No ones whinging. people are expressing their shock at the (alleged) price for a lad who hasn't played above league 1.

What in that is whinging????

No doubt these people will be cancelled and have their bank accounts closed next.
This place is unbelievable at times!!!

Clearly clubs know we have funds and are holding us to ransom. (If the rumoured fee is true, which I doubt)

 

[Finham]

So he’s right footed and played exclusively in a back three last season - is he being signed as Fadz’s ultimate replacement in the middle? Barton mentioned him as not being suited to an ‘outside CB’ position but not sure where he played for Barnsley.

He's a rugged looking lad and from up North-I'm sure he can grow into a bit of a Fadz over time!

 

[mmttww]

Isn't the fee quoted exactly what Burnley paid for McNally from the same league? If we've done our homework on him, don't see the issue with the fee.

 

[napolimp]

I reckon that as long as we sign talented players with potential, Robins and the team will get the best out of them regardless of who they are - or where they played last season.

 

[Finham]

Fuck me, we could sign prime Messi, with him being delivered to us by a naked Margot Robbie in a skyblue Ferrari and some of you would still whinge.

Christ no!:


"The main thing, though, is the godawful smug smirk that she just has at all times. Like the classic year 9 mean girl sneer, just vaguely masked by whatever version of wide-eyed coquette face she's making at the time. How is this not irritating to everyone?"

 

[hamil99]

We don’t know what the breakdown is yet. Could be £500k with the rest in bonuses. Just like Simms hasn’t actually cost us £8m.

That was my thoughts exactly. We probably paid £900,000 to £1 million for him, with the rest coming in bonuses. And you can almost guarantee that one of the bonuses will be if we are promoted to the Premier League. So, I hope we do end up paying £2 million for him, just like I hope we end up paying £8 million for Simms, because then we would be in the Premier League, and those fees would seem almost trivial.

 

[SkyblueDad]

If we sign McNally I think it would signal Joel L being rwb but Robins has intimated him playing CB.
Personally I think the signing of Roberts has signalled we ain’t going for McNally.

They are far better off than we are, having been in the Premier league recently, and having the parachute payments, where as we were in league 2 until quite recently.

£2 million to them is a lot less of a dent to their budget than it is to ours.

To be fair , burnley paid the same for a player with LESS league 1 appearances in mcnally

Yeah, it does seem that way - I’m sure I read something earlier this summer where he ruled out coming back here.

 

[Sick Boy]

The £2m is not going to be the upfront fee - it’s probably closer to 750k and then add ons, including promotion.

 

[Balli001]

I imagine its changeable. If burnley offered us mcnally permanently now Robins wouldn't say no

They did, but they had a Premier league income where £2million is chicken feed, to us its a Kings ransom.

Not sure we are being held to ransom .. we've 19 million pound ( give or take ) if we want to buy young promising players from premier league clubs we have to pay for them ..

Normally we would loan them

I think you've hit the nail on the head but we should probably continue to argue about it anyway.

Yeh usually we'd loan him in and he'd go back to Burnley as a player completely out of our price range. Glad we're getting these young players signed up.

Did you have alternative plans for your Thursday evening?

It's a nice evening, I'm considering mowing the lawn.

About time we spent a bit of money that we made ourselves

 

[Sick Boy]

I meant he may not want to.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Waste of money

Another one for G's spreadsheet.

 

[hamil99]

Extra bonus with Thomas if he signs - he takes a long throw in.

If that's right mate, it's a skill that can't be undervalued. With Simms in the box, could be a massive threat.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Yeah, it does seem that way - I’m sure I read something earlier this summer where he ruled out coming back here.

Sounded like he wanted to stay and fight for a place in the Burnley team but I think it may be taken out of his hands.

I think Burnley have signed another three centre backs since he said he wanted to stay and fight for a spot.

 

[Frostie]

Very good, exactly the sort of player we should be targeting

 

[Frankly_Mr_Shankly]

IMO if Bobby Thomas is confirmed then we'll need another 2 CBs, a RWB and a striker then we'll be good to go. Anyone else would be brought in for added depth.

No mate, another 10 remember

 

[David O'Day]

Happy we are going for him, young promising and looked good abate at lower level last year.

With regards to McNally, I just don't think Burnley will let him come to us without them getting Hamer

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Is this just another rumour, I can’t be arsed trolling through this thread .
