Wonder how much the ni increase cost

[JSL]

Thats for 2023. Did he play for us in that period?

 

[shmmeee]

It would have happened in May 2023 if Doug hadn't taken over

Would have been in the mental situation of having to win that play off final or go out of existence

The drama though!

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

Hes 29 until he’s 30

It's still a lot for player of that age.

 

[JimmyHillsbeard]

I think Vik would of said no to a Jan move, by then him and his agent had a plan in place

IIRC he changed agents after the January window.

 

[Brylowes]

Not that it means much, but we apparently beat off Hull to get him, whether it was the fee, wages or the pull of George Boateng or a combo of any of them, something attracted him to us at the 11th hour

Probably more the push from Hull, than the pull of Coventry.

 

[clint van damme]

Tom stares at mine too in block 16 , bit weird tbh

Which is very impressive considering you're in block 15

The drama though!

A giant Kenwood Liquidiser poised behind the goal

 

[shmmeee]

It's still a lot for player of that age.

 

[David O'Day]

IIRC he changed agents after the January window.

so he did have plan

 

[Captain Dart]

Thats for 2023. Did he play for us in that period?

Latest figures, 2023-24 account will be available in 6 weeks, I'll let you know but I doubt it is going to be much more than a 10% hike.

I think in that summer of 2011 they were seriously considering trying to use just academy players.

The fact Bigi, Thomas, Clarke, Christie, and Cameron all featured a fair amount during that season and none other than possibly Christie had the ability to play in the Championship shows how thin on the ground we were.

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Bid for 3.5-4 million officially in, Swansea haven’t accepted it or declined it yet

 

[Evo1883]

Which is very impressive considering you're in block 15

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Nothing has been accepted yet, don’t believe everything you see on here

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Nothing has been accepted yet, don’t believe everything you see on here

To be fair a lot of media can be behind the curve dom.

 

[Balli001]

Nothing has been accepted yet, don’t believe everything you see on here

Where does that say it hasnt been accepted?

 

[JSL]

Where does it say it has?

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Where does it say it has?

It doesn’t on the article, saddle said bid went in last night and was accepted this morning

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Where does that say it hasnt been accepted?

Doesn’t say anywhere that it has does it

 

[David O'Day]

Nothing has been accepted yet, don’t believe everything you see on here

It also doesn't actually say we bid 3.5m to 4m - it says that is what they think is enough

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Is this a done deal because I’m getting nervous now!

 

[Balli001]

Doesn’t say anywhere that it has does it

So you are inventing that to suit your own negative approach then. Good to know.

 

[David O'Day]

Is this a done deal because I’m getting nervous now!

why?

 

[JSL]

£3.5 to £4.0m is quite a difference. I wished I had it

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

why?

Think cause of how this window has gone. Way I see it Saddle broke the news on here and gets benefit of the doubt that it’s close and will be done today or tomorrow. If not panic

 

[long way home]

Lets hope it gets done and dusted quickly i can imagine by now all parties involved want it resolved to be able to move on. Its a transfer that seems to be agreed with the player and seems to be a negotiation between clubs on fee and payments

 

[David O'Day]

it's been less than 24 hours since the BBC article

how long do people think transfers take?

 

[quinn1971]

Just need to agree wages now, thats what normally screws us,

 

[David O'Day]

Just need to agree wages now, thats what normally screws us,

why do we? The stories are that the player wants to come to us as we are offering more wages than Swansea ergo that would indicate we have already spoken about wages

Fair to assume this one’s been brewing for a little bit based on Jimmy’s posts. Plus if the player has handed in his request he must know what he’s getting from us.

Interestingly he’s agent already represents a couple of our first team

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Just hope Swansea haven’t changed their mind and want more money as they can see we are desperate for him

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Sounds like we’ve already done that work with the agent

yes but it's still less than 24 hours since anyone had the name of the player
