Spotty's Seriously Sub-standard Second Rate Transfer Thread.

[Lost Leopard Spot]

Insano's the obvious choice.
Although obviously I could do it in normal circumstances, lately I'm paralysed by sheer panic (as demonstrated by not being able to put all the necessary words into a single easy sentence).

so - have mavis or clough ACTUALLY gone yet?

Not that I've heard. But what do I know?

We expect you to know - you are running the transfer thread!!

And no I don't think either Mavies or Clough have gone yet. Reading between the lines from articles it sounds like Clough doesn't want to, but is gently being encouraged to consider the offer.

...whereas Mavies has to pass a medical, which may not be his strong suit.

that's probably the reason why it's sub-standard.

Badly. To be fair he promised nothing more.

But just to keep you in the loop, I'm not the only one. In fact Marc Iles doesn't know if they've gone yet, or rather he knows that Neil Lennon doesn't know whether either will be available for tomorrow... [Spotty's Seriously sub-standard Second Rate Transfer Thread bringing you All the news...]

Would it be simplistic to summarise ?

The club going into Admin which the forum [when I asked in another thread] told me couldn't possibly happen because of our financial arrangements with ED is happening on Wednesday.. ?

Update on Clough. Official twatter feed for Bristol City confirm they've had a bid accepted for Clough, but it's for £2m not the reported £3m.

A few (inc Nixon) have said that it's £2m rising to £3m if Zach's a good boy, plays for England, tidies his room etc

nahhh - what this forum requires is the PSG.. until then it duzznay count...

[Burnden Paddock]

Been told this morning from a very good source, that Mavies deal may be off as they don't want to match his £20k/week wages.

Clough doesn't want to go to Bristol City and will hold out if they try to force him. Let's hope so!

Oh, no, it does not move me
Even though I've seen the movie
I don't want to check your pulse
I don't want nobody else
I don't want to go to ChelseaBristol

Been told this morning from a very good source, that Mavies deal may be off as they don't want to match his £20k/week wages.

What usually then happens is that the agent/player goes back to the selling club to see if they'll top up his wages. So if Wednesday offer £12kpw, he could ask us to pay £8kpw or he'd be quite within his rights to sit out the contract we signed with him. It happens quite a lot when clubs try to force players out.

At which (hypothetical) point we have to ask whether it's worth us paying £8kpw for him - or, over the remaining 18 months of his contract, £600,000 - to not play for us.

No you're wrong.. I was told categorically so on here last week for suggesting the same as you.. They were ITK about the club never going into Admin too, so you're definitely wrong

[boltonboris]

Worst thing is, we'll still be footing a chunk of his wages, getting a pittance transfer fee and weakening the team

I doubt that.

Depends on the player. If he's got 2 years left and SWFC don't match his wage, he's entitled to the difference by us - Depending on what difference it would be, it's likely that some of the transfer fee will be paid out as compensation to him
