Glenn Murray

[kjgood]

I know its really no great secret that Cardiff City are interested in Glenn Murray, but i was talking to someone today who works within the coaching setup there.

They told me that as Chopra had gone back to Sunderland and was currently injured, and that it looks as though Joe Ledley was on his way out, that plan C was being put into place.

Plan C is Glenn Murray.

Plan C is Glenn Murray.

What with Cardiff being in and around the play offs our Glenn could, with luck, be playing in the premier league next season.

But he's not for sale.

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Thought we established it was a NSCer on a wind-up

 

[SeagullRic]

But he's not for sale.

Surely it has to depend on the offer that they make. If they offered us anything over 800k I'd definitely take it.

 

[dougdeep]

He's Bloom's player though, surely it would be up to him.

If we could get over a million and Adams was allowed to spend it all on new signings they should definetely sell him.

Everyone Is For Sale

At the right price, especially as Cardiff are also losing Routlidge as well. Chopra, Ledley and Routlidge all at about the same time.

If we hold out for a good price Cardiff will pay it i think.

How does that work?

A third party owning a player contract? Never heard of Mascherano and Tevez?

But he's not for sale.

Everyone has their price, especially if the money is needed for other things.

Bloom paid for him out of his own pocket. It must complicate matters.

True, but if he's 'not for sale' and definitely part of our plans, Dick will hold out for silly money.

Well in that case, can't we get sued for millions if we stay up by one place sending someone else down on the last day?

 

[SeagullRic]

Bloom paid for him out of his own pocket. It must complicate matters.

Just had a thought: If Bloom invested 300k for Murray, maybe if we sell Murray for 900k, Bloom will get 300 back and we'll spend the rest of the 600.

 

[The Large One]

Doubt it.

He lends/donates/exchanges for shares money to the club to acquire a player. The club, probably with Bloom's approval on a given player, then spends the money accordingly. Bloom is not allowed to pay the money to (in this case) Rochdale himself when (a) he's not a director and (b) he's not allowed to anyway. After that, any considerations are made on a footballing basis.

Bloom understands that, unless he wants to land the club in deep shit.

 

[dougdeep]

Anyway, I still think we'd be mad to get rid of him, we need his goals.

We were mad to get rid of Coppell, we needed him to take us forward, he had his price (compensation package) though.

We didn't 'get rid'.

He chose, all on his own, to leave.

 

[SeagullRic]

Its hardly getting rid: we've said he's not for sale and so it will take a big bid for us to sell him.

What would you accept for him then?

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I thought Bloom put the money forward at the time i.e. we didn't have £300k floating about in the bank. Not necessarily HIS player. Plus, the Blooms are rich businessmen. They did not get where they are by resolutely refusing to sell someone or something. The phrase 'Not for Sale' does not always mean not for sale. It pushes the prices up.
