The January 2015 Transfer Rumour Thread

[manic-road]

Lambert saying nothing happening with Sinclair, fee and wages both a problem.

Fee = £3m.

Disappointing to hear that's a problem, even if there would then be the wages to consider.

If the fee of £3m is a problem Randy as screwed us over yet again.

[Walmley_Villa]

Sinclair is just another bentley

Yes, we shouldn't touch with a barge pole. His impact at West Brom tells you all you need to know about his hunger and desire.

[ozzjim]

I agree but 3 million is not that much realistically for a player who  looked pretty handy and is only 25. It does seem ridiculous with all the tv money etc that we can't afford it if it's a player he wants.

[peter w]

Its probably not that we can't sfford £3m but won't pay it for a player who, as ozzjim said, has hardly kicked a ball for the past few seasons.

[Damo70]

I would think his wages are the problem as opposed to the fee.

[Matt C]

All just part of the bargaining and negotiation of a transfer window isn't it? City trying to get as much money as possible, flush out other potential suitors and we're trying to get him as cheap as possible.

No doubt he'll move somewhere come the end of the window.

[Stu]

Disappointing that it seems we're still having to survive on the cheap, however I'd rather we spent good money on players that want to play.

Hopefully Lambert can sort out a decent player for 3m rather than an underplayed, overrated, overpaid prima donna.

How much have we just paid for Gil?

About £3.5m which in todays market is a cheap gamble yet again on an unknown quantity at this level.

So in what way is that Lerner screwing us over?

[Ron Manager]

I would much rather we signed Nathan Redmond than an overrated self important underachiever like Sinclair.

But not a chance Norwich would consider selling him to us.

[barrysleftfoot]

 I don't think the fee is a problem, just the fee for Sinclair.

 As someone said earlier a lad, apparently with an attitude problem, who has not played regularly for over 2 seasons, and wants £50k per week, intimates to me he might not be a good purchase.

[Ian.]

I wouldn't want to gamble 3M + excessive wages on a player who's not that bothered, we've had too many of these sorts over the last 20 years.

No thanks. I do hope there's a plan b though, we've seen over the last few windows there's usually not.

[Ger Regan]

If he was willing to drop his wage demands then the club might increase their offer by a million or so, but considering it looks like he won't, then they're unlikely to give in to citeh's demands. Which is fair enough on what would be a gamble anyway.
