Transfer Rumour Marko Stamenic (9 Viewers)

[Balli001]

Well, it did appear to be somewhat of a coup, and now probably weeks if not months of scouting and work getting the transfer done are completely wasted. We now have to restart from scratch with presumably less preferable targets??? That's why I assume people are 'arsed'.

I doubt they are starting from scratch with scouting potential replacements. There will be a shortlist of names that have already been well researched

His agent will be congratulating himself for playing a blinder. If he plays for Olympiacos and for Forest in the Prem he will have done well by his client.

Fair risk though - he was going to be a starter here but won't be where he's going. Careers stall as quickly as they rise without game time (look at Kalvin Phillips) or he could easily be in the Championship next season with Forest.

and now that it is out in the media that were were 'snubbed', 'tuned down' or whatever, who will want to come as second choice?

The majority of the media will hardly be arsed to write about anything this insignificant when there's far more interesting transfer rumours to be invented .

 

[ProfessorbyGrace]

Been nabbed from under us, apparently.

Well, well, well.

If true, 100% expected, personally. In fact, I tried to convey this possibility, earlier in the thread.

If we were even interested in the first place, who knows. The club didn’t confirm any interest?
Maybe this was a tactic by his club to drum up business with a premier league club.

Either way, looks like it’s Liam Walsh at DMF then.

I think most players/agents won't read anything into this apart from them holding out for a PL club. I don't think it will affect our scouting at all

Suspect Pete O'Rourke is just behind the curve here...

Football Insider has learned that Coventry City have agreed a deal for New Zealand international midfielder Marko Stamenic.

And needs a geography lesson

 

[Warwickhunt]

I think the EUFA and FA need to look into the finance model of Olypiakos and Forest because it certainly looks like an easy way to get around FFP. I wonder if Man City have thought of it yet

 

[LastChance]

Agreed, it's really a non-story in the wider world. The club will have known it wasn't gonna happen and been actively working on an alternative signing almost since the story first broke

Weird, as he does mention the Forest interest as well which only got revealed yesterday... im sure hes wrong but it gives me hope lol

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

I’ve always despised our fierce East Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest.

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

For weeks we've been told it's a done deal, then radio silence, then yesterday we've read Forrest has won the race and he'll be shipped out to Greece, today on mobile news now it's saying we've agreed £4 million with Forrest dropping out.

Just don't know what to believe, as agonising as it on the transfer front just got to wait till its official.... He does look classy on the ball and his passing is really good, if he does come to us then those passes out to the wing for Wright/EMC/Tats/Rodriques/MVE will cause all sorts of problems for teams

 

[Macca1987]

What will be will be, who we get in will be down to Robins, Doug and the scouting team. In Robins we trust, we just have to be patient

 

[BlueSkiesForever]

Imagine the scenes on here if it turns out Stam has actually signed for us

 

[PVA]

Pete O'Rourke says we have won the race.

Is he at all reliable? I have no idea tbh.

If you read scouting reports he was a project with a high upside and you do realise you can work on multiple transfers at the same time.

I think he’s got it the wrong way round, personally.

 

[Trueskyblue20]

Just as I was getting over this, another article comes out. Ffs Pete, it is the hope that kills you.

I just want this saga over so I can decide if he is shit and can’t kick a football or he’s the second coming of Zidane.

In all fairness, to Stamenic, he’s a very, very good player.

Unfortunately, the lure of the PL and its riches are too great. Especially with a club and agent touting such talent like a disingenuous pimp.

We should find out what’s going on by the end of today anyway you’d imagine

He's off to Greece

In Peter O’Rourke we trust

 

[SkyblueTexan]

How does it? Jarni actually signed for us - this bloke hasn't

Well it was similar in the sense we got used by the player/agent in both cases and didn’t get to see the player actually play for us. I did say that we made money on the Jarni deal, but not in this case. Hate getting the rug pulled from under us and getting our hopes up.

Limbs.

Maybe Red Star are just trying to push the price up?

Could be tbf, they seem crafty bastards, not sure I’d want to be dealing with them again after all this.

That's right. IIRC they said he had signed for us last week. There is, or was, obviously interest from Forest.

 

[Great_Expectations]

If true, he can go onto the list of football playing tossers.

FFS I’d already added him to the shit list.

 

[Nick]

Is it confirmed he's going to forest or whoever?

 

[Deleted member 162]

Not really, conflicting reports now. 80/20 Forest, no official announcements yet from anywhere.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Sounds like agent bullshit. Either he’s used our offer to leverage another club or he’s inventing more interest to try and get us to up our offer.

Either way I hope we know he’s a shyster and don’t engage again.

 

[Tommo1993]

You’d hope CCFC were shrewd enough to pull the plug.

 

[Nick]

I thought his manager confirmed he was coming to us?
