DC08WFC Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 BN reporting he's meeting OC, agreed a ?4m fee.
Matt Lofthouse Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 BN reporting he's meeting OC, agreed a ?4m fee. And to think Chelsea paid ?21m for him!
Globetrotter Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 Happy with all three targets that we are strongly linked with. Let's hope we can get the deals (or at least 2/3) wrapped up soon and that they are not contingent on Cahill leaving ... Would be a good summer of business by OC and Garty in my view ...
DazBob Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 And to think Chelsea paid ?21m for him! TBF, that was about 5 years ago. I actually think that ?4m is an absolute bargain - especially when you look at some of the transfer fees being coughed up by other clubs this summer. If we can get SWP and Tuncay (and another striker on loan hopefully) then all of a sudden, IMO, things are looking very promising indeed. I'll be well chuffed.
HomerJay Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 4m on a 30 year old? i think 4m for is good business, but didnt OC say he wouldnt do that kinda thing?
DazBob Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 4m on a 30 year old? i think 4m for is good business, but didnt OC say he wouldnt do that kinda thing? He did say that, however, there will be cases that come along that he will see as too good an opportunity to pass up. he obvioulsy rates SWP highly as he tried to bring him aboard in January. It would be foolish, IMO, to not sign a player simply because of his age, especially when the transfer fee isn't a stupidly high one. If City were after, say, ?8m then there is no way we would even consider him given his age. The good thing about signing SWP is that it isn't a gamble. We know all about him and what he can do. Just watch now, he'll probably end up at Wigan!
jules_darby Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 4m on a 30 year old? i think 4m for is good business, but didnt OC say he wouldnt do that kinda thing? Maybe OC has seen the size of him and assumed he's still in his teens?
DazBob Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 Maybe OC has seen the size of him and assumed he's still in his teens? A bit like Arnold Jackson. He was in his 60s or sommat when he was filming Diff'rent Strokes wan't he?
Zico Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 4m on a 30 year old? i think 4m for is good business, but didnt OC say he wouldnt do that kinda thing? aye, though I imagine the CYL injury forced him to reassess what we'd need to bring in to cover his absence
Sweep Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 4m on a 30 year old? i think 4m for is good business, but didnt OC say he wouldnt do that kinda thing? Sadly I think that ?4M falls in to the "fuck all" catagory now, you can't really get much for anything under ?4M these days
Dodgywheel Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 SWP will end up at stoke because we won't pay his wages, they will and have the European carrot to dangle, I hope he doesn't and we get him signed up, but I think money will talk at his time of career.
tyldesley_white Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 Sadly I think that ?4M falls in to the "fuck all" catagory now, you can't really get much for anything under ?4M these days 4M Buys you someone that can put one foot in front of the other and can tie his own boot laces up, any more it will cost you more
grego Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 Hes goingto Stoke. Tony Pullis will pay him what he wants
Rembrandt Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 4M Buys you someone that can put one foot in front of the other and can tie his own boot laces up, any more it will cost you more Don't forget the ?80K a week, Tyls ...... if they can tie both boots & get the arms tattooed.

Hes goingto Stoke. Tony Pullis will pay him what he wants So Stoke it is then for the little fella, that will be along with Jerome, Crouch, Placios, Tuncay and every fucker else they're linked with. What a fine old squad old twatcap ed will have in the potteries..
Guest Blixa Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 Wright Phillips can sit on City's bench. Why would he want to swap that for Stoke's bench? They have wingers already, he'll just be a squad man there. He wants regular starts - that's why we're in the driving seat. That has never changed.

Thats a fair point and it seems we've chased him for a while now, hope we are in the driving seat, would be a massive boost for our squad.
tylswhite Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 Stoke havent made a bid so theres no point crying, not yet anyway.
The True Marple White Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 fingers crossed the meeting went well and we should hear something soon!
SpiritofBurnden Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 http://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/wanderers/wanderersnews/9188491.Jerome_arrival_is_not_imminent__say_Whites/ One transfer that appears to have taken a backward step is the ?2.5m deal for Manchester City?s Shaun Wright-Phillips. Talks have been held with the England winger but Stoke City now appear to have tabled a rival bid, with the promise of a bigger basic salary. ?2.5M sounds like a bargain.

It is cheap its the salary that goes with it that is the problem.
Rembrandt Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 If he'd rather move from warming the bench at Citeh to warming the bench a fraction less at Stoke, then he's not for us anyway.
Happy Wanderer Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 I thought he wasn't bothered about wages and just wanted to play football again after being left out of the side for so long? If it is wages that turns his head then the greedy bugger who tells lies (and has enough money anyway) can go else where.
grego Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 He seems to be going to Stoke as they have agreed to pay for the wooden blocks to be fitted to his car pedals
