We can't really extend it... He's in his last year.
We could've put a transfer price, but I suppose Forest would want to see how well he did before deciding what price they'd sell him, plus, if other clubs matched the bid, we'd still have to compete with the salary aspect...
Incorrect-The fact he's in his last year of contract has nothing at all to do with how long we can loan him for ??
Incorrect-We could have put an agreed transfer price in the agreement...obviously the problem would have been actually paying the transfer fee though lol
quote from DMC in yesterdays paper
"There's a long way to go this season, but we've got enough quality to be challenging", sounds like he's in it for the long haul. Heres hoping
I never said it can't happen, it just won't, because Forest want to make a return on their investment, what stupid team would loan a player out for a season, when that player only has a year left on his contract!?
When he came to CCFC, by jan, he would've been worth 50-100k, now he's worth about 250k, so no. If we agreed 100k, but another interested party offer 200k, what then?
Those figures are clearly just made up...but if we'd have agreed 100k, then we'd have done a good deal
I don't think you can apply it to Bigi, he was wanted by a big team in the prem, and has made a few 1st team appearances, and scored a quality goal 2 (something like that) games ago, so I won't buy he left purely for money, he had an amazing career opportunity - he took it with both hands!
Reminds me of when Kevin Keegan went to Hamburg for the challenge. One journalist said why not go to Crewe that would be a challenge.
Don't think he would have gone to Newcastle for less money.
Ultimately that's all it is about.
I don't disagree with that entirely. But if Newcastle offered the same wage he was on at CCFC, he would still leave, pushing it, maybe even less, it was a great opportunity for a young player, someone who is only a year older than I.
Keenan, that point is funny, I agree with that, but what is Bigi going to achieve at CCFC, he was a chance to better himself at Newcastle.
I know it's not you, but in this case, don't be so cynical, £€$¥ played a big part, but it was a massive career opportunity.
It's a shame Cody is obviously way off the pace. I'd of liked to see him getting some game time in prep for McG leaving.
Shame we didnt put a clause in his loan contract regarding extending it if he did well, or heaven forbid, a transfer price :facepalm:
If/when McGoldrick does leave, we should try and tempt Aloisi out of retirement. He'd be quality at this level and is only 36...
We've done worse!
Filipo Inzaghi and Hernan Crespo?
I have heard he is on 18k pw so no way we can compete. That could be BS of course! Fingers crossed! PUSB!
That wouldn't surprise me, there was an article in the independent earlier this year saying that forest were losing £1m per month.
McGoldrick has said, He loves it at Cov, but, "Has other things to consider" make of that what you will.:thinking about:
He's considering his wallet.
And why not to be fair. He's not a Cov fan and will have a limited time to make hay while the sun shines.
I'm just glad he's performed how he has. If he stays great, if not he's still pushed us forward as a team an hopefully some of that impact will remain.
I'm not criticising. It's reality. Some thread earlier seemed to be shut down when someone dared to suggest bigiamara was also always going to go to the club who paid him the most money. It's nonsense to suggest a footballer has an emotional attachment to any club - they always go to the highest bidder.
That's OK shmmee go off topic any time you like....I did not know that Bigi was unhappy. Where did this come from? However, getting back to DM I have a gut feeling that he will stay. I don't really know why I just do. Am I mad?See while I don't think the thread should be shut down Bigi would be slightly different. But he was badly treated by Thorn and the club were looking to sell. My guess is if Robins was here in the summer Bigi would still be here. I hear a lot about how he was unhappy.
I mean how is it right we ended up playing him less than Newcastle are now?
Sorry gone off topic a bit.

Schmee with all due respect I think any offer above half a million for any of our players would be accepted at the moment. Bigi in SISU eyes was worth a million.
They will not reject any offer they think is fair for any player.
Especially when the manager at the time did not rate him.

The manager could rate or hate the player that won't be even a consideration.
He rated Juke he went.
Basically any offer we get for a player they will accept.
Personally as long as the manager is then allowed to adequately replace the player I understand it if we are skint.
We lost Bigi got fleck Barton Jennings bailey moussaka
Sisu stopped Thorn playing him last season? He made 16 starts. For many weeks despite our so called pathetic squad he couldn't even get on the bench.
Wow -- that's some accusation.
Was that reply for me?
