Low wages and won't cost too much. Just been watching quite a long reel on him. Make of it what you will but he certainly ticks the pace we need. Don't know about the player ...but that song is BRFC fan anthem .... MY LOVER'S(OWNERS) got no money but he's got his strong beliefs " 1 Quote
Popular Post Crimpshrine Posted January 20 Popular Post Posted January 20 18 minutes ago, davulsukur said: I know Sheff Utd have a lot more cash than us but what a difference in approach. "We want 5, I expect 5 in" JE "I dunno what's happening but I'm sure the recruitment team are working on it" In terms of opportunity to spend in this window, Rovers could match Sheff Utd if the owners wanted to. Our owners are unimaginably wealthy, we have a massive FFP opportunity right now which will soon dwindle away due to the rolling 3 year rule. We could buy 5 really good players this window and be within the allowed spending limit for the current FFP period. It's not a matter of having more cash it's a matter of having more ambition/interest/willingness/love for the club. 23 Quote
SIMON GARNERS 194 Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Promotion not on the agenda,its been the same for some fifteen years. Work that one out? 4 Quote
Penwortham Blue Posted January 20 Posted January 20 4 hours ago, islander200 said: Fair enough But the fact he spends a considerable time out of the first 11 at his clubs isn't a concern? His work ethic has been called out by managers aswell. He was available for a reasonable fee in the summer and ended up at newly promoted Oxford. We need better than him The manager wanted him and rates him, that’s enough for me. 1 Quote

It's just unfair really isn't it? Parachute payments have ruined the Championship. 8 Quote

Burnley must be shitting themselves - Leeds and Sheffield Utd are going to be out of sight. Quote
rossyste Posted January 20 Posted January 20 I am told by a friend of mine who works in a back office role at Fulham that we have been asking (with several others) about the availability of Martial Gobo. Apparently we enquired in the summer and were knocked back but he has since signed a new long term contract and can go out on loan only. I have no idea which of our lists he appears on (if any) and had never heard of the lad until about an hour ago ! Please don't shoot the messenger 3 Quote

Augustus Kargbo looks decent in this video, but we'll probably end up with Augustus Gloop instead. 3 Quote
Penwortham Blue Posted January 20 Posted January 20 3 hours ago, BlackburnEnd75 said: I think he will get trapped the same way jdt did. The club wouldn't accept his resignation meaning the next club he managed would still have to buy him out of his contract (probably one of our only saleable assets). He could resign end of the month having proved he's done a good job during water into wine, hope another champ club buys him out. Or wait for his contract to expire and move on a free but that runs the risk of people forgetting about his good job here. I’ve never had an employment contract which didn’t allow me to leave with due notice, my guess is that Eustace will probably have a 12 month notice period. 1 Quote

Please don't shoot the messenger He's been discussed multiple times on here Apparently was close to a loan here on deadline day but Fulham didn't sign a player so kept him Quote

Contracts might be between legal entitities and not an employer/employee relationship. Terminating early may have penalty clauses - minimum buying out the contract but could be more if one party is not in agreement (ie our owners) Quote
Emerald Isle Rover Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Godo for me will likely happen was making the squad due to Nelson’s injury there but has since returned to being out of it and given how close in the summer we where I’d say there’s a fair chance he ends up here leaving the big question what striker with what budget and with so little time…. and before anybody replies I’m fully aware there’s 2 weeks left but given we also need another cm and with games coming thick and fast time is of the essence Quote
roverandout Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Gobo who's played 3 times all season and has only played 50 games in his career. He's nearly 22. File this under another cheap loan 1 Quote

They're either A> keeping their cards even closer to their chests that normal or B> there's fuck all happening. I know which option is the more likely in eyes. I'm distancing myself from the subject to be quite honest, January is depressing enough as it is. Fair play anyone who remains upbeat or remotely optimistic about this window, the Chaddys of the world. I however am fully expecting another catastrophic shit show. 2 Quote

Parachute payments have ruined the Championship. Our parachute payments went into the pockets of Danny Murphy, Dixon Etuhu , Leon Best , a lot of agents and probably Steve Kean Quote
