Transfer Rumour Marko Stamenic (9 Viewers)

[Deleted member 162]

I thought his manager confirmed he was coming to us?

Saddle was saying he's been and been given the tour of the ground and had pictures taken and everything, and now there's not insignificant reports he's off to sign for Forest and then go on loan to Olympiacos for a season, alongside reports from credible reporters that actually no he has signed for us.

In short, we're not going to know until one of the clubs confirm the signing. Currently its a mess.

so this is all up in the air again. Weird situation. Imagine if this forum existed when Jarni signed and then left immediately

 

[Skyblue_CP]

Can someone just go and get in the bush please and confirm if he’s at Ryton or not.

 

[BlueSkiesForever]

Just all very shifty, can’t blame Stamenic for wanting to play premier league football but if his manager or assistant manager (whoever it was) confirmed he was coming to us then you’d think that was it, done deal.
Poor from their side if it does turn out they’ve been messing us around.

From what it looks like source wise, it’s Daniel Taylor of the Athletic saying Forest and O’Rourke saying us. No idea who is usually more reliable.

Normally The Athletic.

Serbian version of Sky also say he’s going to Forest.

Take the emotion out of it and it’s a no brainier for the kid to choose forest really is it

Very true. Although still very dodgy of Belgrade to use us like this, was really looking forward to Stamenic joining us and I imagine it throws our transfers up in the air a bit.

I'm

Sure the club would already had a plan B in place.

 

[TinPotTaylor]

He's no Alan Browne

Tough call as O’Rourke isnt usually far off at all, and the Athletic also about the same so its a waiting game

Don't think it's anything to do with Belgrade ,it's more the agent and player

 

[BlueSkiesForever]

I'm sure the club would already had a plan B in place.

Yeah I’m sure they have one but I’m guessing they thought this was done and dusted, now we’ll be looking at what our recruitment presume to be the inferior choice I assume?

I do wonder if they tried to make a lot of noise so that other teams would see the potential transfer and become interested. Not saying that is what happened but it’s a tactic they could have used to generate more cash for him.

Forest are paying them the same as we were going to.

 

[LastChance]

So, how much is that?

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Its a bit of a pisstake but Im not gonna call him shit or say he’s gonna fail because of it, its just a disgrace if he’s used us as a stepping stone to get what he actually wants, best of luck to him

Yeah Mark Robins well be Furious, that's why the Club don't announce anything until it's a done deal.

The Club have been used by the Agent and the Player.

 

[Senior Vick from Alicante]

If the kid or the agent has chosen the Prem over us then lets all move on. Its said he will be loaned straight out to Olympiacos to see if he's up to scratch which indicates Forrest aren't sure of what they are getting or don't think he's ready. That alone must be disconcerting and would possibly ring alarm bells as he may end up getting moved on again at the end of next season. That could be the reason nothing is set in stone at the minute and conflicting reports. Whoever we sign I cant think of anything to iffy from the recruitment team in the last 2 years other than JDS hasn't stepped up as yet and the fact that he was a free means it wasn't a gamble. Trust the process, try not be impatient and lets get the right fit and not make mistakes if we are spending money. Whoever wears the shirt come the start of the season will improve us.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Well Olympiacos

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Most annoying is the fact that it looks like he wont even play for NF in the PL (at first), as he'll apparently be loaned to Olympiacos...one of the owner's other clubs.

I think the opposite. Better find out now before he signs that he might not be 100% on board. MR has said that he wants players to buy into what we are doing, and not use the club as a stepping stone.

As fans we are so keen for transfers, we hang onto anything that is reported. There will obviously be other targets.
Hypothetically, if he failed a medical with us, the club would move to another option. This is no different. It’s nice to be proactive, but sometimes you must be reactive.

We only know what we’re told. For example, Simms might have been third choice due to circumstances behind the scenes. However, some might assume his was first choice and the club got their man. There is still plenty of time. The transfer windows over World cups and the Euros always start slow.

Wow how come no one has mentioned this.

 

[Matt smith]

Surely o rourke has just got it the wrong way round

 

[BlueSkiesForever]

True, maybe they were hoping for more though and didn’t get it? All just speculation anyway, I’m just miffed because it appears like we’re not getting him

I’ll be holding onto this as the “serves you fucking right” argument if Stamenic signs for Notts over us; and if he does sign for us then I’ll be knitting some blankets with his face emblazoned on them

 

[Gaz71]

If John Harriott is saying this he is

definitely off to Forest

I do love a JH promise

 

[robbiethemole]

HAHAHAHA looks like the lad has got something about him!!! Not wanting to be dumped off in Greece, who can blame him.
Fuck Forest, bunch of cunts.

 

[Domo]

who bloody knows - we may not even know of the outcome for weeks regardless

 

[Deity]

I really don’t understand those fans that say “if he needs to be persuaded, if he’s not sure, then move on” ….. The main way clubs like us can progress is by persuading players that might not naturally look at us to join.

It’s what Bolton did with Anelka, Okacha et al years ago, and Pompey did with Merson, Kanu etc to give 2 extreme examples from the past. More recently we have seen Brentford do it with Eriksen and Brighton do it with a whole host of players.

If you’re Brazilian, Dutch, a kiwi, an American etc et. You don’t grow up dreaming of playing for Coventry, in fact you may not even have heard of them. We need to sell our story, be persistent, make the players feel truly wanted ….. we don’t have the brand, history or money to be arrogant.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Would seem so

 

[robbiethemole]

Not a word about this on Forest's board, it's almost as if they don't have any information on him joining them!!!
Another agent trying to big up his man??

 

[ProfessorbyGrace]

I’ll just set my brain to disappointed and ‘He’s off to Forest’ so that IF he has signed for us, it’ll be great.

You can set your brain? That's a handy trick! Mine wanders off all over the place and will not do as its told!
