Zico Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 The Fabregas sage as been going for 2 years quite different though Fabregas wanted to go, but Arsenal wouldn't let him City are more than happy to let SWP go, but he's the one dragging it out
Casino Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 but is he are we just refusing to pay what city want whatever that is
Rembrandt Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Thought the general story was that we'd agreed terms with Citeh but SWP is still trying to sort out his wages with us & Citeh. Whatever, I'm bored of the story and I'd rather we got a couple of Prem full-backs in. As a general point though, players have to accept at some point that if they're good enough or lucky enough to join Citeh, Chelsea or ManU then they're on a super-rich gravy train. When the music stops and the clubs want rid of them, they'll just have to come back to the (relatively) real football world. IMHO.
frank_spencer Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 What I'd heard was we had agreed a fee with citeh. Swp was content to fit in with our wage structure if citeh paid him a portion of the extra income he'd get if he stayed. They were negotiating the size of said payoff and there's been nowt since.
Boothy Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Footballers are fuckin' deluded. He is not good enough to stay on the books at Citeh, why should they pay him to have less money elsewhere. Don't get me wrong, it's City's own doing, but SWP needs to get a grip too. He will have made a fortune at Chelsea and City. Football's governing bodies really need to taken a long hard look at teams like City and how they are affecting the rest of the game.
Zico Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 but is he are we just refusing to pay what city want whatever that is fee with Citeh and terms were put to SWP long ago, wages which he didn't fancy last development was SWP wanting payoff from Citeh to cover drop in wages Mancini was also recently moaning club weren't doing enough to help him shift players he doesn't want from the squad heard Liverpool won't offer cash for Bellamy so Citeh willing to let him go there for free
Guest Blixa Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 It's all academic if QPR come in with a big wedge per month. He'll go. End of story.
Zico Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 It's all academic if QPR come in with a big wedge per month. He'll go. End of story. would seem that way that said a QPR bid doesn't seem to be floating Joey Barton's boat Wednesday "Going for a medical now, still no contract offer from NUFC.......think that just about makes my mind up." "Don't want to leave Newcastle........I've made that clear but my hands are tied." Thursday "Need some thinking time and space..............." Friday "Going to have to make a decision today, its only fair to all parties."
hughmungus Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 The main problem with QPR will be players perception of Warnock, to me he is a decent Champ manager but he isnt in the same league as Coyle etc so I can understand the reluctance to go. Got a feeling City might be prepared to do a deal with SWP re his contract and then the ball is firmly in our court, then we will see how good OC and co are at selling the club to him.

I think Owen Coyle has already proved how good he is at selling the club and his way of playing, once he can get past agents etc. If SWP ends up going to QPR for the higher wages then there is little Coyle can do about it. I don't thinkk we should break the bank to get him but I do think he would be a very good player for us.
Guest Blixa Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 We'll probably end up paying more than we'd like and he'll break his leg in training / going for an innocuous challenge / walking to the chippy the week after.
Gonk Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 QPR & Stoke have both now made formal bids for him with Citeh
grego Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Dont think he's coming to Wands, he just wants regular footie and cash.
Boothy Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 If he doesn't want to play for Bolton, what is the point?
BOWTUN BAKED Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Not liking the way this is stalling. If he's not signed up by now, I question his motives if he does join, so he can bugger off IMO
HomerJay Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Not liking the way this is stalling. If he's not signed up by now, I question his motives if he does join, so he can bugger off IMO aye, because its THAT simple.
BOWTUN BAKED Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 aye, because its THAT simple. No, but I am, If he wants to join he would have. He hasn't, so he doesn't want to join for the right reasons.... simples
Guest Blixa Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 He's shopping around for the best deal. Just like you or I would. We've been used to drive up interest in SWP and as such, drive up the agent's wedge. Not the first or last time that'll happen. We might still get him, but if it's purely down to money on the table, safe to say we'll be about 3rd in the queue. On the plus side, I trust Coyle to have at least three other targets bubbling under, which is why he wants it all sorted this weekend one way or the other.
Guest Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 SWP wants to come to us. But QPR have offered a bigger fee and City won't have to pay him off as they will match his wages. Therefore the decision may be taken out of Sean's hands!
mickbrown Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 SWP wants to come to us. But QPR have offered a bigger fee and City won't have to pay him off as they will match his wages. Therefore the decision may be taken out of Sean's hands! Not really. He can sit on his arse and do a Winston Bogarde if he really wanted too. By the way, Bogarde really is my footballing hero, appeals to the loafer in me.

Therefore the decision may be taken out of Sean's hands! Yeah, I forgot that the clubs have all the power over players & players are just a pawn or commodity for clubs to trade & do as they will with? It's so unfair to players, GOOD GOD, WHAT AN INJUSTICE, I hear you cry?!? Oh yeah, I remember now........... that changed years ago. It's all about the player power now. IPSO FACTO...... If he wants to come, he will. I don't think he wants to come, otherwise he already would have.
Zico Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 He's shopping around for the best deal. Just like you or I would. aye, that's what it comes down to nothing to say he won't sign for us still, but no real promising signs that he will we will have to wait and see it's the wait that's starting to fuck me off now though as I want him to sign
