Transfer Rumour New signing pending - Rabbi Matondo (200 Viewers)

[blunted]

No nothing about this chap. Lets hope he is good.
I remember our relationship with Rangers being described as Mugger and Victim. We did buy a lot of crap, overpriced players from them over the years. Before anyone says but what about Colin Stein, remember he was described by one top commentator as "couldn't trap a bag of cement". Good with his head though.

I think he was a cheap punt. May come off, may not.

I'm not saying thats what I've been told

I've been told he has something about him

It's just my personal view. We're injury ravaged, he's been here 8 months and has got on the pitch for 2 minutes once

 

[robbiethemole]

really? He acted a bit of a twat 6 years ago when he was 18?

Seriously?? we signed Marlon King FFS!!!

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Fuck all wrong with 2 minutes Saddle!

I fucking hate people who boost they last 2 minutes fucking athletes

To be fair Lampard said he’s got bags of talent but he’s a ‘project player’.

I suspect we are looking at him longer term and I doubt we will be seeing anything decent until deep into next season.

I assume that’s why we’re looking at players who are ready now in the short term.

 

[Otis]

Hopefully he stays fit, just doesn't have a great injury record for 24

Neither did this guy.



Forever breaking bones, getting kicked in the shins and ending up with concussion etc

Hillsner vibes around Raphael

You seem surprisingly keen to do him down - he’s a kid from Australia

I would argue Jack Bauer had the best record for 24, other than maybe Kim

He had a a min against Cardiff and a 15 min spell at the end of the Sheffield Weds cup tie.
He is on the bench and keeps getting 90 mins in U21 games, presumably to build match fitness.

What's the liklihood of an announcement tonight?

Un.

A loan is usually taken with a view to playing or else why bother.

In which case, is this a vote of no confidence in Tats? I would totally understand that as I think I can count on the fingers of two hands the number of times this season he has gone to the line and crossed. He doesn't trust either himself or his body. Makes him predictable. EMC has crossed more often and he has played a fraction of the games. And we are now playing wing backs anyway.

Also is this what we should from hereon call the Bassette rule: We really need a CDM, but oh look here's quite a good (some other position).

 

[Nick]

Or just nowhere near to meeting the fitness standards. Was he ever injured?

Yeah, thigh.

Lampard was waxing lyrical about Tats after the match last night though

 

[GIMOC]

wages are stalling the deal

he’s on 30k a week and the meeting today didn’t go to plan

 

[GIMOC]

low risk in terms of short term but goes beyond our wage structure

 

[Ccfcisparks]

To be fair you wouldn’t sign him on near that

 

[Captain Dart]

 

[Evo1883]

To be fair you wouldn’t sign him on near that

All of a sudden he doesn't seem so low risk

1.5 mill a year

It’s weird that we would discuss wages with his team, surely we would just negotiate with rangers how much of the 30k we’d be willing to cover

 

[Andy123456]

@GIMOC there's a shock

 

[Deity]

His agent must have known our proposal / ceiling but came anyway …. Maybe he thought we were bluffing.

Clearly rangers want us to cover the lot

don’t think sky sports read this forum

they were reporting it this afternoon

not sure what you mean? not my fault we can’t agree personal terms

 

[Saddlebrains]

'Surprisingly keen to do him down'

I've literally made one comment ffs. Hardly Eaatenders is it

Don't want to be that guy who pi$$es on everyone's chips but a little something to be aware of...

[GIMOC]

hahahaha

what’s so funny? don’t get it

it’s been all over the media today. if they can’t agree terms it’s off

all I know he was at Ryton today to discuss terms and meet the manager

 

[Nick]

Guess it's the part if we buy him?

Haven’t you also leaked in the past that the management don’t think he’s good enough?

you read it on Dawkins twitter before he deleted it

If he was signing today they’d already be agreed with the club. It’s nothing to do with his personal terms

 

[Saddlebrains]

Nope

If you look through i said they think he's got something about him

No but it is your fault for reporting on the terms being negotiated when we know, with Dovin for example, these things can take weeks and even months. Presumably this is day 1 of a meeting where terms and negotiations are being made.

Why not leave it be til it's concluded cuz you'll only look silly if cov turn it around and he signs

 

[GIMOC]

you read it on Dawkins twitter before he deleted it

lol

you really thick?

look when I posted and look when someone said he posted and deleted

You really are an odd ball

 

[SBT]

Nope

If you look through i said they think he's got something about him

Hmm - could’ve sworn someone said this about him
