[Domo]

[Domo]

Its OFF.

he'll sign for some obscure turkish side for 35k a week, then come back to UK to sign for charlton in 18months time.

 

[Balli001]

I’m still slightly puzzled why we want wingers first. For me central midfield and LB & RB take priority

Ask Lampard he said the other day we need wingers

 

[TomRad85]

If we lost out to Blunderland i would be fuming tbf.

 

[skyblue_55]

From a call this morning, this deal has hit the buffers , with bonuses etc being brouyinto the equation, instead of a person that hasn’t hardly played this season , being up for the challenge …….normal greed above talent continuing

 

[shmmeee]

Its OFF.

Definitely happening then.

I’m still slightly puzzled why we want wingers first. For me central midfield and LB & RB take priority

Because we’ve had to change formation because of lack of wingers.

 

[Kingokings204]

I would be ecstatic if we didn’t sign him tbh. Not what we need and the wrong mentality. He wants money and we want people who have a desire to play and prove a point.

AVOID

 

[Martw]

The new Kevin Drinkell …

Off to Sunderland now?

I’ll trust our staff if he wasn’t right for us , I’m also generally in favour of not paying over the odds in wages too although sometimes in football it does seem like you need to speculate to accumulate at times. But if it ain’t right that it ain’t right , there will be another one along soon enough

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Will say two things - Fair play Gimoc and apologies seemed to get this one right based on everything.

Secondly, he’s a player with six appearances, needs a career lifeline, does he really get to demand high wages, bonuses and add ons. Especially when it could come at the cost of other players like Jeremy.

Maybe it still happens but understand the doubt the club would have. Still confused why this is brought up now tho if it’s not an obligation.

You may start to get fuming soon

Good news for Sunderland as transfer target sees move to Championship rivals stall over payments

Some good news at last...

It’s pretty simple. We can’t play the formation we want to because of 2 injuries.

We’ll be pursuing multiple targets and if @Jimmy87’s info is right, we are talking to a RB and a CM.

 

[Grendel]

He can't insist on bonuses - he has a contract with Rangers

 

[rob9872]

Perhaps Frank likes to do deadline day business as it wouldn't matter if we sign 10 players in the window, some fans still get out of their pram if the lights aren't on at the CBS with hours to go and we're not doing any business. To me last day smacks more of desperation and not first choice targets or agents holding out and ripping us off as desperation sets in.

 

[jordan210]

If he is trying to push for bigger bonus and extras time to move on. Not what we need

 

[skyblueelephant76]

If it's a loan deal the discussion on wage contribution is between Cov and Rangers not the player. He's already under contract at Rangers so is guaranteed £32k a week.

Not necessarily, plenty of players take a wage cut to go on loan.

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

Not necessarily, plenty of players take a wage cut to go on loan.

They don't because their wages are being paid in full as they're still under contract with their parent club.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Not necessarily, plenty of players take a wage cut to go on loan.

That is a contractual discussion between the player and Rangers

 

[skyblueelephant76]

Yes, he's not guaranteed to keep his full wage.

 

[David O'Day]

Not necessarily, plenty of players take a wage cut to go on loan.

no they don't, they'll be discussion over the % of wage paid by each club but the players original contract remains in place

 

[skyblueelephant76]

They don't because their wages are being paid in full as they're still under contract with their parent club.

Not always the case

That does say that was between him and Fulham

"But he was always confident it was going to get done. It was about finding the right deal between Fulham and himself, our deal with Fulham was agreed a while ago."

Yes, he didn't get his full wage

 

[Grendel]

Yes, he didn't get his full wage

The negotiation is with Rangers though not us if that was the case

 

[Captain Dart]

A contract is a contract, he is not likely to take a pay cut to sign for another club.

 

[skyblueelephant76]

The negotiation is with Rangers though not us if that was the case

I realise that but there are people saying what is the issue if he's guaranteed his full wage anyway. That isn't necessarily the case.

We could still have agreed a wage contribution with Rangers and then have issues with things like goal bonuses if he has that in his contract.

 

[edgy]

Could he be haggling over the potential contract with us, should we decide to sign him in the summer. Would those discussions take place yet?

Or could he ask that they take place (the add ons & bonuses), so from his point of view he isn't wasting his time on loan with us when another club maybe prepared to pander to him.

I suspect sadly that in the background his agent was touting him around to the highest bidder - seems to me that is the way of modern football. I say sadly not in this specific case but more re football agents in general

 

[David O'Day]

Yes, he didn't get his full wage

Yes but it proves FP right

 

[Nick]

He can't insist on bonuses - he has a contract with Rangers

Unless it's for the bit where he signs for us?

He is guaranteed a full wage though. As per the terms of his contract.

The variable you bring in is a massive exception to the rule and pretty much never happens.

It's also irrelevant as he's not going to willingly take a pay cut to come here.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Wonder how much he is on anyway. A lot of the websites are nonsense.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Frank Lampard remains favourite to land Matondo as his first signing.

Someone on X reckons both Matondo and Schlupp was seen at Ryton today that tweet was posted 40 mins ago, who knows what's going on but I just hope Lampard can get some players in

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Sounds like it’s still on just negotiations taking place on the perm (which I still don’t get).

 

[JimmyHillsbeard]

It’s more likely lampard met him, didn’t like his character and thought his personality wouldn’t fit the dressing room

This sounds like a reverse version of a MainStandNoel “looking Stephen Hughes in the eyes” moment?
