mozartfox Posted 6 October 2020 Share Posted 6 October 2020 We have certainly learned from the 2016 Transfer window and the disasters that immediately followed that car crash. With the Dead-wood gradually being cleared out, once Covid-19 stops killing life as we know it, we will move forward faster. I still have to pinch myself how Rudkin and Susan did that number on Woodward with the Maguire sale. He is so ordinary and very very slow. The fact that Caglar turned out to be so good (apart from Last Sunday) may have been be a complete stroke of luck, but Boy that sale was such a great deal for our Club. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd surely demand big wages, he's always injured, and has made the papers enough times over the years for being a bit of a dick in his spare time.

Ric Flair Posted 6 October 2020 Share Posted 6 October 2020 2 hours ago, Jon the Hat said: Gray is not about to sign for a Championship club You're right. He's on 50 bags a week here and come the summer can get a huge signing on fee + similar wages elsewhere which will be a temptation. Championship clubs are under huge financial pressure, the only way they get him would be on loan for a season paying a chunk of his wages but we probably would rather him in the squad as an impact player and to help out in the Europa League.

This is what makes me laugh about people criticising Congerton, given those four signings were made by our 'famed' recruitment team the season after we won the league! The way we acted that summer is the equivalent of me getting a nob extension and going round swatting fly's with it rather than putting it to good use!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 24 but a free agent. i see they have us linked in that article. Would fit BRs "broken" idea, and if he could get a tune out of him, could yield us a neat profit if he the player himself was prepared to take a bit of a punt too. An idea might be to offer him a low initial salary but with a cut of any future sell on. If he came good, we get a decent player and/or a profit and he earns himself a new more lucrative contract and/or a bonus in the form of a % of any future fee received. if he flops, then it is a low risk strategy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 7 October 2020 Share Posted 7 October 2020 Didn't know Halilovic was without a club, not come up on any of the searches I did during the window on such players. He was hugely rated and we have been linked in the past. Ticks a lot of boxes in terms of the type of player we could need 1 more of but I don't think we will bring anyone else in with Gray and Slimani still on the books.
