O'callaghan has supposedly turned us down

[Seagullible]

Those who are moaning that the board are too tight to pay the wages, answer me this.

How do you know that what O'Callaghan is demanding is reasonable? What if he, as a Championship fringe player with comparatively little Football League experience, is asking for five grand a week, for example? Hypothetically speaking, of course.

Are you suggesting that the club should just pay up, for the sake of signing a new player? What if he turns out to be crap, I bet you'll be the first ones complaining about that overpaid crock of shite in midfield.

The club has to pay what they think is fair, and bears some resemblance to the going rate, not just jump at the first demand made by any journeyman. It's called negotiation, guys, and I don't blame Wendy or the board for refusing to pay if they don't think the player is worth it.

Paul Kitson, anyone?

I suspect he is after the best deal possible (SHOCK) and may see if a better offer comes before deciding if our offer will be ok for him. not exactly rocket science

Oh, wind your neck in. You're getting worse than Glubber.

Sorry Alan

I'll be sure to use the irony smiley next time.

 

[NMH]

That'll do. Perhaps the boy will develop an interest in staying and 'renegotiate' at some point. Either way, it's in his interest to prove he's worth the wages he's asking - and if not us, another club can consider the investment costs.

 

[Easy 10]

So presumably he;ll remain on whatever wages his current Ipswich contract is paying him. As NMH says, this now gives him an opportunity to prove whether he is indeed worth more. Or not.

I believe the term for this thread is BINFEST.

bhafc4eva owed Dave The Gaffer an apology for his accusation of premeditated lies.

 

[Caveman]

f***ing hell, we've had all summer to sort this out and it hasn't happened. Why do people get their hopes up that we can pull it off in 1 day?

The cock has been proven wrong yet AGAIN.

 

[Caveman]

I'd imagine that there is still a slim chance him coming then, but if he has already turned us down once?

Maybe a loan with a look to a permanent move perhaps?

...and sometimes I am just too damn good.

...and sometimes I am just too damn good.

He wants to join after the loan a rare good day for the caveman

Rare? Rare? I have many a good day.
