McGoldrick and Surman.

[Quinn^2]

Anyone think we may have another go at the same sort of deal we got Davies and Cohen with. Offer for the both but with most of the deal being with Surman so County don't get that much of the sell on clause from the McGoldrick deal.

Is that the same thing we done with Davies and Cohen.

 

[Johnny Bravo]

I doubt we care what County get, after all they're not in direct competition with us anyway.

 

[winnits]

We wouldn't do that to prevent Notts getting money, it would be so that Southampton can keep a larger amount of the transfer money.

 

[Quinn^2]

Didn't mean so much that County didn't get as much just really that Southampton wouldn't have to give as much away.

Isn't that what happened with Cohen and Davies or am I thinking of something different.

 

[winnits]

Yep, you're spot on Conor

 

[Johnny Bravo]

Hairy Muff

 

[Forest_4_ever]

Yeah, you're right. We payed most of the transfer fee for Davies because West Ham had a sell on clause for Cohen.

 

[Johnny Bravo]

I know business is business but I can't help thinking that method is a little underhanded. But if it saves up a little money then well done those who broker the deals.

Yeah i agree. I think sell-on fees are a bit of a joke - if the club want more money for the player, hold out for a larger fee!! I think if teams really regard players as good prospects then they shouldnt get rid and add on that clause, as it then can be detrimental to the buying club when they come to sell the player.

although, football is now a business, so i guess all is fair in love and war....and all that

Just thought of a possible loophole. On the premise that the sadpies only get 20% (whatever) of the original fee, then agree to pay 50p for him with a shit load of add ons....

 

[fil]

looks like Surman's off to Cardiff for 1mill so you can probally forget the joint deal

Or as we did with Cohen, if they have another player we're interested in, pay well over the odds for them and a low amount for McGoldrick.

That's if we are actually trying to buy him, of course!

 

[earthworm]

They're both going to Notts now because the Pies are going to be richer than Chelski.

in the sun?

 

[Erik]

in the sun?

Cardiff it's usually pissing it down.

 

[dellaroc]

I'd rather we signed Lallana than Surman.

 

[Flaggers]

I'd rather we signed a llama than Surman.

 

[Johnny Bravo]

I'd agree Lallana was the better player but didn't they sign him for £2m odd, he'd be a lot more expensive and players of quality are harder to come by in Surmans position. If we could only sign one I'd pick Surman.

That Llama is Texan. Which is nice...

Lallana came through their youth academy didn't he?

 

[Johnny Bravo]

Who am I thinking of? Did someone try to buy him in Jan for that amount? Either way I'd expect him to be quite expensive.

I Was just saying this to a friend today, sounds like an idea to me too, not for the sadpies sake but to help the saints keep some money.

 

[S4L]

We stole him from Bournemouth.

A small fee was paid I think.

Cardiff want Surman for £600k-ish. :blink:
Newcastle also want Surman for £1m.

Bidding war? I hope so.

The club are so far remaining tight lipped about the futures of McG and Surman. Seems Pinnacle want a new manager in aswell, so this may go on a little longer to see what their man wants.

I hate the blades and don't they just bypass the Midfield anyway with the Long Ball?

 

[homer]

seems the take over from Le tiss and his guys have fell through at the 11th hour... so maybe that transfer block they put on those players we was after will be gone and we can nab them now !
