What happens if this deal does indeed collapse ? Does GIMOC then get his own sorry thread ?

Yeah and half of Matondo's wages

 

[Hoofhearted]

I know a young lad at another championship club. When it’s a loan, you don’t really talk to the player outside of where he’ll play, get a vibe of him and the club.

If it was a obligation you’d sort the contract but as it’s an option, you’d more just be asking if you can would you be willing and where would you ball park be not the real discussion you’d expect.

Sounds more likely Lampard doesn’t like him if he doesn’t come

Does he want to join us, can you put a word in?

 

[Otis]

it will be nothing to do with wages if he doesn’t sign

Maybe they drove him through Canley on the way to the meeting.

 

[Otis]

He gets a lot of shit but he’s clearly got contacts.

Ooh, are we doing Guess Who? So much more difficult if it's contacts rather than glasses.

Mate I wish would actually have a contact then and could be a itk big shot

Are you not tempted to join the other teams forum and give it the ITK

 

[eastcj04]

I said the meeting didn’t go well then told he’s on 30k a week

maybe we don’t want him here because the 30k could be spent elsewhere

Maybe Lampard didn’t like him as a person

who knows

you said ‘wages are stalling the deal’.

Everyone getting a bit upset now he might not sign.

Let’s be honest who had heard of the guy before 9am this morning?

SBT classic

Me and I have seen him play - I don’t rate him - but Clement is a shit manager for Rangers so he could be another EMC

What’s Andy turner saying

Just reading up on here before he decides

[long way home]

FL should be all over this signing because he has got the group showing some togetherness so anyone coming in has to be the right character. Secondly, contract length and structure would be known in fact its the 1st thing asked once you target a potential target.

So that is bollocks about how his contract is structured. This will be down to not a good feel from either party, not cash.

 

[Alkhen]

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

Its not helped him with how tight the games have been recently. Far easier to bring on a young player when we are comfortably winning

Which is not very often unfortunately

It's very up and coming I'll have you know.

 

[quinn1971]

why do we even bother talking to these players, we can’t afford them, we get our players from, Barnsley, Huddersfield and pboro

Tbh, we can no longer afford to shop at Barnsley, Huddersfield or P'boro, they charge us £4million+

Now we need loans who arnt getting starts, and we need the owning club to pay the players wages and transport costs.

 

[CovLad94]

Still think this deal gets done, probably a few formalities holding it up

 

[ptr]

Sorba Thomas and Rabbi Matondo outside Ryton trying to work out which one of them is the ‘Welsh winger flying in’.

 

[skybluecam]

GIMOC lets himself down by shooting his wad as soon as he hears a rumour and posting as if it's a done deal.

Just post what you actually hear.

 

[TomRad85]

Saw a Rangers fan saying we'd finish 5th at best in SPL these Scottish fans give me brain rot.

wtf are you on about?

weren’t just me saying it’s almost done

it was all over sky sports news

I post what I hear. I heard it was close to be done today then get told talks weren’t good

not sure what else I can say or do

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I genuinely doubt they'd finish 5th in the Championship

We've just loaned Andrews (who couldn't get a kick) to the team 5th in the SPL, couldn't write it

Fancy us to beat Rangers, especially at home.

Actually a good point
Average league 2 players can go there and look brilliant. It's absolutely dire.

 

[GIMOC]

Cuz hw

He's like the gift that keeps on giving

why?

 

[GIMOC]

It feels like if gimoc breaks the news,generally it doesn't happen. Either that's wages break down, generally personalities of player and management don't click, or Sakamotos life threatening may not be able to walk again hip injury turns out it wasn't life changing after all

But generally doesn't happen. It's odd

or maybe us fans don’t hear about half the stuff that goes on the background

info I get I share that’s what the forum is all bout

shows if anything how difficult it is to get a deal over the line this window

Thomas and now Matondo

both were looking very likely at one stage

Went straight in and played 90 mins in their last game too.

tbf you did say pending for this one. I take it back.

"Signing next 48 hrs" however...

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Huge club, poor team, awful league. Seem to remember that Louis Moult moved into it from Nuneaton and scored double figures, it's just dreadful.

 

[quinn1971]

so we identify a player from a top club who we know is on a wage we can’t match, talks break down because we can’t agree/afford what the selling club wants, waste of time, like last season,

Been thinking this also.

Possibly more we don't know about.
Are the recruitment team aiming just a little too high? Not finding the balance? (Or not working hard enough to find hidden gems - all of the above all over other teams radars)

Remember when Mowbray and Venus got lucky with Armstrong/Kent....then the following summer went out to do "presentation" to try to get the likes of Tammy Abraham when we were never going to get near him.....
We ended up panic signing Dan Agyei and Kwame Thomas..... and got relegated...
