January Transfer Speculation (or lack of) Thread

He did. I was thinking more along the 1st ever episode where he advises Del to buy 25 suitcases for £200, rather than the £175 price he agreed with Trigger. Then, advised him to throw them all in the river!

Think you've got me confused with MON. Sounds like one of his transfer deals

I go away for a coffee and a few choccy biscuits and find the mad and hopelessly wrong ramblings of GregNaff still rumbling on. Like others have hinted, i do find it a puzzle that he's so very concerned about the financial situation of a club which he openly admits he has no intention of putting any money into.

A bizarre statement frankly. I could buy a season ticket for the rest of my life and it probably wouldn't cover Beye's weekly wage

Quite right, and why pay taxes either? You could pay them for the rest of your life and never make a dent in the national deficit.
Have you ever considered that the beye deal could be part of some overall plan for reducing costs rather than something to be looked at in isolation? And yes, it does appear that we are that much of a pickle financially.
Actually looking back at how the last year or so has gone, plan might be too strong a word....

you stating that you might buy a ticket let alone a season ticket is bizarre.

Yawn.

yes that would be bizarre for someone who went continually for15 years. *facepalm*

[glasses]

Not really Greg. You want to throw all of the suitcases in the river. Most people would try to at least get some of their money back. Its actually quite a good analogy

yes, but aren't you still in Lord Byron style self imposed exile?

not really because its the scale of the losses. Again bringing the EU into it again, they can sit there and say we've saved 80billion by doing this but if the losses are over a trillion it's pocket money and not worth bothering about. likewise saving 20k till the end of the season is welcome in a "bolting the stable door after the horse has gone" sort of way, but the reality is we've still paying him 750k till the end of the season minimum.

*facepalm*

That confirms it - the Gnasher is back to form!!

So remind us how doing it this way disadvantages us?

[glasses]

Thing is Greg, neither end result is good, but one is £20k lighter. As a business, you would choose the option that is £20k lighter.

we must be in a pickle. in fact Haywards obviously haven't got anything on us. Beye's deal may well be part of some big plan to get us back on track but somehow getting some joke club to put him in a non-existant shop window when he's worth nothing to us for the sake of them paying the cost of about half of one week's wages...well the mind boggles.

[Ryu]

But greg your original moan was that we were keeping him at the club when we should be offloading him on someone else.

Now, transfer speculation, anyone?
