Well that's the beauty of change - when situations change actions can too. When was the last time we paid anything before Vincelot? Mowbray has control and can spend the money how he wishes.

Wasnt barton like 20k?

Jodi Jones about two months ago

I never saw anything that said we spent over 100k on him?

No it was undisclosed (obviously!) but widely rumoured to be £200k

 

[Sky Blue Kid]

Cody McDonald rumoured(Ask Grendel for exact figures) 500k approx.

No way. We rejected going for le fondre cause was too much at 250k

 

[FRY-CCFC]

McDonald - 500k
Barton - 100k
Jones - 200k initially without add-ons

Given that D&R turned down a bid of 300K from Charlton, it would be a startlingly bad bit of business for them if they settled for much less than that. I have been told 200K rising to 300K, but I know some people will absolutely refuse to believe it.

I remember at the time people refusing to accept it. It would be strange they turn down those bids to take ours (and the fact there were others trying to hijack the deal to get him)

Knowing Sisu it'll be Chuck .

Wouldn't know the difference if you put him in Vincelots shirt

I absolutely refuse to believe it !

roughly what do you think we paid?

 

[bawtryneal]

£175,000

 

[Nick]

£175,000

For Jones?

 

[SkyblueBazza]

'Too much' can just mean they don't think he is good value. A bit like Everton telling Man City £100m for Stones. I think they would get a 'Too much' back.

...onwards & upwards PUSB

 

[Brylowes]

I don't know, but paying such a fee goes against everything they stand for, it makes no sence
at all, why Buck the trend for this one player.

 

[bawtryneal]

Because they believe he will be worth a couple of million in 18 months time.

 

[bawtryneal]

For Jones?

That is what I was led to believe by D&R
100k upfront and 75k based on certain conditions plus % of any re- sale.

 

[Brylowes]

Because they believe he will be worth a couple of million in 18 months time.

Ok so why aren't they out there Hoovering up young players with prospects, why
is he different, I don't get it.

You seem almost disappointed that the club parted with a significant amount of cash for Jones. The mentality of some genuinely baffles me.

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

I don't know, but paying such a fee goes against everything they stand for, it makes no sence

So the likes of Keiren Westwood, Scott Dann, Dan Fox, Aron Gunnarsson, Freddie Eastwood, David Bell, Carl Baker, Martin Cranie, Lukas Jukiweitz, Cody McDonald, Adam Barton, Remain Vincelot and Jodi Jones were all free transfers then?

There's probably more then I haven't listed

Not disappointed more disbelief TBH, what's wrong with me mentally ?

What bullshit is this now?
Mowbray and Venus made it clear that when they came here they wanted their own overall budget to do what they saw fit with it. This is what they got. So its their choice and their trade off to manipulate the budget between transfer fees, signing in fees, and wages.

So what does paying a fee for Jones have to do with SISU? Unless of course you're saying Mowbray is a liar....
But I guess logic doesn't fit with your "woe is me everything is the rich hedge funds fault" fantasy land does it

Yeah you forgot Sammy Clingon, but as you know I'm talking about the clubs current policy.

 

[theferret]

Yes, but it isn't 'policy', we paid cash for both Vincelot and Jones last season. It's a lack of funds and nothing to do with a strategic policy of never paying a transfer fee.

Because we can't afford to, not rocket science

Your quite right it isn't a policy, I still find it hard to believe they paid a
6 figure sum for Jones, just my opinion.
But don't let my mentality worry you.

at least this isn't another thread gone off topic....

Gills fan site reporting its Rotherham

Well Bawtry might know something then.

 

[bawtryneal]

Well Bawtry might know something then.

Will find out tomorrow morning Would be surprised though as don't see him as a Championship player

 

[johnwillomagic]

He's crap no thanks .....please let it be Rotherham though he is not championship standard!!!

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

No I didn't know. You just said 'everything they stand for' meaning SISU.

All of those signings I mentioned we paid money for under SISU. Not forgetting free transfers which we paid agent and possibly signing on fees for.
