Sam baldock - Merged

[Bra]

Assuming that we have made a significant bid for Baldock, it does make me think that perhaps signings in the key areas that need strengthening such as goalkeeper etc are close to being done since would you not use up the budget leaving yourself short in these areas?
Alternatively having thought some more it could just mean Ulloa is off, I hope it's my first thought!

I'm not sure when the squad is off to Spain, but I believe it is fairly imminent, I wonder if they'll try and get something sorted regarding transfers (Baldock or whoever) before they go?

The squad are off to Spain on Wednesday.

There's a bit of a dig at the club in the article about Ulloa in the Argus online today.

He is known to be happy and settled on the South Coast with his family and would prefer to achieve his ambition of Premier League football with Albion but has also been disappointed by the scale of investment in the squad.

That could hurry things along. Hopefully.

I'm not sure the Albion know the meaning of the word 'Hurry'.

We need another striker anyway - probably nothing to do with Leo potentially leaving.

It might concentrate a few minds then. Sammi would surely want a couple of his new players on the tour, these things are perfect for team bonding.

I'm clutching at straws aren't I.

Looks to be settled there, hope we don't waste time and move quickly onto the next target

 

[Marshy]

if he is happy wasting away in L1 then he is not the sort we want, depsite spending plenty of money it could be another 2 or 3 years beofer they go up...
He may be getting very well paid in L1 but if we are matching or even slightly improving on what he is earning then he should be running down here for the chance to play at a higher level.

Surely the agent would have told us if he wasn't interested before the bid went in.

I doubt we literally speak to one player at a time.

 

[BensGrandad]

Radio Sussex just said a sizeable bid has been rejected so perhaps he does want to come here and we will increase the bid but not to the figures quoted on here.

Would seem surprising to put in an improved offer if the player has made it clear he wants to stay at BC.

Lad wants to wear the blue & white I reckon..

Where does that come from my reading of the situation from the radio is that BC turned down the bid as too low. No mention about him and his preference.
