Jonathan Calleri

I do hope this isn't some clever wind-up.

What that Trigaaar and Thunderbolt are in dispute?

What that Trigaaar and Thunderbolt are in dispute?

Oh no, not that - that's normal round here. I was thinking more about the actual subject of this thread. we DO need another striker, and we also probably need a little more creativity from midfield.

So, get them both!

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Yes, I agree. But that wasn't the last time. Last time, we weren't the inform team.

I agree, Derby were, and failed.

 

[Triggaaar]

I agree, Derby were, and failed.

Yep, that's what happened that year. Last year Norwich were the in form team, and they got promoted.

 

[casbom]

I don't think this is a hoax, however I doubt very much either player will come to us.

 

[nwgull]

Fair enough, I'd choose 3 wins to go up as a better chance than averaging 2 points per game over 30 games..

Betting exchanges are a good way to get a subjective viewpoint on this:

We're currently 2.64 for promotion on Betfair. I seem to remember that we were a longer price than this in both playoffs - even in 2013, when we were favourites.

It was tweeted by a journalist - or at least the Twitter account named after him - that someone was flying out. The bit about it being Barber was just the logical assumption made.

the Argus ran the story as well, if I'm not mistaken ?

 

[Postman Pat]

the Argus ran the story as well, if I'm not mistaken ?

Only basing it on Hector's tweets:
28th Aug
Hector Heredia, a presenter on Cronica TV in Buenos Aires, last night tweeted: "Today there was a meeting between directors of Brighton and Boca, who asked for 13 million dollars for the goalscorer. The English offered nine.

12th Oct:
They are also believed to be monitoring the situation of Nicolas Lodeiro and Jonathan Calleri, the highly-rated attacking players on whom Argentinian league leaders Boca Juniors could look to cash in once their current season ends in late November.

don't think they have any inside info.

 

[portslade seagull]

I would think that if we are still in contention in January Signings will be made in an attempt to cement promotion, so hopefully there is some truth in this

 

[Eeyore]

Forgive me if asked before, but can a pre-January deal be signed that takes effect from the opening of the transfer window ?

 

[Doc Lynam]

Yes apparently.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Yes, deals can be signed, and contracts would be legally binding, but the paperwork can't be actioned by the FA until the transfer window opens.

 

[pornomagboy]

And if so could we apply for any work permits as they normally take ages to sort out or does that have to be done through the fa

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Work permit applications ( I think ) start off with making a case to the FA, before they go for further approval with the FA's backing. Not sure if this process can formally start until the window opens.

 

[severnside gull]

Can't apply for a work visa until the FA sanction the transfer as until then (no matter what the contract says) the player's employment isn't confirmed

 

[spence]

I believe we pre arranged a deal for Craig Noone and he joined the first day the window opened

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Doesn't Calleri have an Italian passport anyway ?
