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

^ words fail me.

Unlikely!

That's an indication therefore of just how gobsmacked I was.

By the way, after 44 pages and just one solid gold PSG transfer, and despite not even advertising for all and sundry transfers, it has to be a record surely? I don't mean transfers to page, that'd be silly, but pages to transfer rate 44-1. Stunning

He might score the winner for Dougie on Saturday...

In seriousness, I wonder if we paid some severance or if he just waived the last six months of his contract. He hasn't exactly been clawing at the walls to get out, has he?

And if we did pay severance (and are/were possibly willing to do so for Mavies), is this more evidence of emergency cost-cutting?

And is anyone going to claim we've lost an asset which might damage the sale of the club?

"F*ck this," says Deano, "No Medo, no deal"

I'd expect that we have paid him off and given the Mavies scenario, it suggest to me that there is an issue with the amount the buyers are willing to take on - so the current regime is having to bite the bullet and reduce those future costs out of their own pocket.

Rumours Davies has gone to Boro

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

More tweets (an hour ago) from Marc Iles, a good man in a bad situation. Can't be easy trying to prise information from the club at the mo - but he's damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.

Hearing Mark Davies deal to #swfc is looking very, very unlikely. Trained with #bwfc this morning and should be in squad for #NFFC

Davies situation too complex for one tweet but will explain in a story tomorrow. Medo exit saves big money - which is good for #bwfc

[Tombwfc]

You would have thought the offer for Medo to call it quits and walk away would've been there for months, so presumably we've given him something.

which suggest Medo has not taken all he could - the little love - still says something though that it is 'big money'

Nixon says Davies trained with us today.

Iles says Davies' agent claims Wednesday were trying to pull out on medical grounds before he'd had a medical.

Did they only just find out which Davies he is ??

.... & Medo. Nice tweets & all that but he HAS to be taking the piss. He has every reason to say "well, that was a wasted year of my life".

depends some may quite the idea of being well paid to do nowt - guess he could always have just left if he was desparate to play

[BWFC_Insane]

Not really sure why we've gone from wanting to raise cash to paying players off. Medo makes more sense than Davies though as I'm sure Medo had no transfer value at all.

Or maybe he's just a humble man that goes about his business in a professional manner?

Bristol City has fired their manager. Did he lose his job because Clough failed to sign and made the owner angry ? He seems to believe Clough should had been offered more money.

So much for all the guff on twitter about his loyalty, love for the club etc. His agent just couldn't screw enough dosh out of them. Next!!

You cynical barsteward! I do believe all that, it had to be something special to leave that's all. Nothing wrong with that.

It was feck all to do with money. Clough just didn't want to go. When Cotterill mentions 'a head turning offer' i'm guessing he means a ridiculous offer that he would have been stupid to turn down. As it was, they offered him a decent wedge more (relative to his current wages) but he wasn't interested in going there.

This is why it's the biggest betrayal of all. Selling him to a club that can enhance his career and he's happy with I can accept. He's too good to play in league 1 with us anyway, but not to fellow relegation candidates at the other end of the country who will probably sack their manager in the next few months.
From the academy that bears Eddie Davies' name too. There's something symbolic about this for me that goes beyond downsizing and financial problems. Davies should stump up the cash to stop this from happening. It's ultimately his fault that it's come to this.

Told you. He could have signed, then seen Cotterill replaced by someone who only wants big bruisers up front. Lucky escape.

Well, you know...
Just thought you bitches needed reminding now and again.

Possibly Medo hadn't played enough games to get a work permit at another club. Rumours he may go back to Maccabi. Still, got to be more dead wood that can be cut away. Be a surprise if Mavies plays for us Saturday.
