[Archived] Transfers Part 2

“It may be they are ready to play in the Championship, like a Ben Marshall, with the scope to grow and get better.

“But they’ve got to be ready-made to help the team as well as grow and become real assets for the football club.”

Why would we be looking at anyone who isn't ready to play in the Championship?

Obviously the only way the owners will release funds is if they think it will make a return and become an 'asset for the football club'... to sell.

Yes Johnson still here.

I thought When Lambert came in he would have bought in new scouting structure with a German background cos he spent alot of time over there.

Nein

[gazsimm]

My views on the owners are clear and simple. Sell the club.

But this the transfer thread

this involves the transfer thread chaddy selling players to cash in and replacing them with freebies

Key words there being 'become real assets for the football club'.

Clearly Coyle is attempting to convince the owners to give him some money with a view to developing an asset, so that they can then continue on the cashing in project. In some respects they hit the jackpot with Bowyer's excellent signings which have made them a lot of money, Coyle is now praying they will relinquish some funds, and probably knows the only chance he has of doing this is if he can convince the money men that there is a profit to be made down the line.

[eddy11d]

No they haven't...

[LDRover]

Ipswich have signed Jordan Rhodes for an undisclosed fee.

Very strange this one but on the official Ipswich twitter so appears legit. I wonder how much the fee is as Ipswich are apparently skint??

[OJRovers]

Think that's a wind-up account on Twitter

[sharpysharps]

I think thats a scam...done by a fake account posing as Ipswich. Given that the twitter page announcing it has done 1 tweet and has 12 followers

[davulsukur]

No way are Ipswich spending £10-£12million on rhodes

Having a medical according to internet.

No they haven't...

It could be a wind up, but I posted that in good faith having read it on Twitter.

Think it was posted on a fake Ipswish account.

[Pedro]

He'll be on his way though. Very weird signing by Boro.

[A cup of beans]

Has Luca Toni signed yet ?

Sounds like Norwich are interested

What about Villa? A reunion with Rudy

[Lancaster Rover]

It wasn't really a weird signing, Boro' needed someone to help them over the line for promotion. THey and most others expeted Rhodes would be that man as his scoring record at this level is fantastic, 11 million or whatever is a small price for the 150 million they were guaranteed through promotion. I doubt there was any intention of playing him in the prem, he was purely signed to get them there. Savvy business by Gibson, he knows there will always be someone in the championship who will take him on loan too.

[chaddyrovers]

Charlie Mulgrew all set to sign for #rovers. Club working on loan deal for young attacker. No talk of departures. As it stands, of course.

Have Villa not just spent £15m on a striker from Bristol City and 20 odd earlier in the summer on Ross McCormack.

Not to mention still having Rudy and Ayew.

[Lancaster Rover]

Has Luca Toni signed yet ?

Just spotted him at the McDonalds on the A59 with Igor Tudor

We desperately need a RB too. We'd be beyond foolish not to bring in somebody.
