January Transfer Speculation (or lack of) Thread

[Concrete John]

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?

I hear we're loaning Heskey to Doncaster.

[Ryu]

That's a disgrace. We should just give him an oversized novelty check paying up his contract and let another club have him for nothing!

 For a decent percentage of his wages being paid . I suggested 30% not 2%. Anything less than 10% you might as well pay him off

The question one has to ask is whether someone would be daft enough to take him for that. They wouldn't. Also, I presume we could not force him to leave hence why the deal to go to Ipswich fell through. £1K a week as pitiful and nigh on pointless as it seems is better than nothing.

To be honest it's not Beye that concerns me. The ship has sailled and we've squandered £40K a week for two a half years on it. He'll be gone soon. It's the overpaid tat that we will still have and who might have their stays extended that concern me more.

precisely. We could never have signed beye and we'd still have the same current problems. Just have to write it off. What the club were doing allowing a fuckwitt like MON that much a say in contracts deserves a book in itself

I guess that there must be a situation to pay Beye off would save money, an ex gratia payment could be less than wages as it can be paid free of tax, they would also save on Insurance and air fresheners.
 I guess they havent done it because there would be a que outside Faulkners office for the same deal.

BBC Sport is saying the Cahill deal is nowhere near done as "they are miles apart on personal terms"

there's loads of savings that could be made by paying him off early as well. Shirt names for instance. If he left then with Heskey being the only other player with a Y in his name we wouldn't have to worry about keeping that letter in stock.  If someone wanted Gabby the staff could improvise with a couple of I's

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

There's more chance of Doug getting a knighthood.

I can't see either happening but if I had to go with one it would be Doug. Perish the thought of the Witton being called the The Sir Doug Ellis stand.

[Greg N'Ash]

meh. Way i see it the same people who are going on about me questioning the point of saving 4k a month are the same people who 3 years ago were saying " why are you worried about our squad greg? there's no budget greg, the general said so, you're mad, we loaded etc., etc.," Now they've all  changed their tune rather quickly

Time passes and eventually the Voice of Reason is proven right. Again.

Off to the pub.

[dave.woodhall]

Has anyone else ever noticed that it's always the biggest fuckwits who say "I'm right. I'm always right"?

I now have this image of Greg standing in a pub, talking to someone but not drinking because what's the point? You're in there the same as they are but you're not spending any money.

[Chris Jameson]

Talking at someone surely?

[PeterWithesShin]

I wonder when they say something he disagrees with if Greg says facepalm or if he does the actions.

He really is in his own little world, isn't he?
