Maja

[chriswallace85]

Jaden Sancho, Joe Aribo, think they also had a Charlton lad that went to a random Italian/French team on a free last year. Can't remember his name though.

You've lost me here.

The onion anarl

Ronaldo was told to stay for one more year and then moved to the club he grew up supporting with the blessing of the manager.

He was under contract

says Bordeaux have reached an agreement with Sunderland to sign Maja and the striker has agreed a four-and-a-half year contract.

That’s the last we’ll hear from him, welcome to France, here’s a cushion, there’s the bench.

 

[janey]

Did I say that?

I'd just be interested to know how good a contract we did offer him. Just because the owner says it's "very good" doesn't make it so, and I couldn't give two fucks what every other Tom Dick and Harry in the league are paying their players.

We apparently offered him what he asked for, I appreciate we only have SD’s word for that but if it wasn’t true I’d have thought his agent would have made it known very quickly to discredit SD and the club and protect his player. He had no hesitation going to SSN to say he wasn’t signing the day after Maja told JR he was

We will see anyways. I'll leave this for now see where we're at in 9 days. They need more players that can make the step up though that's for sure. Don't want to get stuck with too many 'good league 1 players'

There's always some that will suprise you and step up and some that will get you through a while with hard work, but it would be nice to get one or two with potential to step up who can actually improve, but unless you're lucky they're gonna cost and maybe won't even come here. Hard enough getting there in the first place though.

I do feel we have maybe signed a few too many players like Flanagan, James, Wyke probably and Power who have done it at this level but probably won't be able to step up. It would be nice to take a good player or two from clubs who are maybe struggling up there, have come down or are already excelling at this level, but where the size and stature of the club seems to have pulled in the odd one of those in the past it seems they'd rather go to Bristol or Rotherham now.

For me any real potential or quality has to be plucked from within or lower levels at the moment, unless we spend big and that seems unlikely.

Who was talking about Bosmans?

This never happened

 

[chriswallace85]

Have you learnt nothing about how we ended up on the brink of bankruptcy in the summer

I thought that was the plastic flowers fault.

 

[kildaremackem]

I thought that was the plastic flowers fault.

that was just one example of the millions of pounds pissed up against the wall by the club in recent years...overstaffed...overpaying..and not dyanmic enough..

 

[Wearside Wanderer II]

Big Benji is the way forward

 

[janey]

This never happened

I’ve got a vivid imagination

 

[Herberthall]

grigg has done more than maja in this league and the one above..than maja..

Honestly marra

We have tried, Billy Sharpe for example, but unfortunately couldn't get it over the line. What a signing that would have been though.

As you said, the money is the main issue. Players will get more at the likes of Bristol or Rotherham and in-turn the size and stature of the club doesn't appeal as much when we have to operate so frugally (understandably).

Teams going up from League One tend to do alright in the Championship, and I think we might be surprised at how attractive we suddenly become again if we do go up and have looser purse strings!

 

[J_169]

isn't Grigg injured?

 

[janey]

isn't Grigg injured?

Only two weeks, apparently

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Big Benji is the way forward

Until he gets too big for his boots too

 

[Herberthall]

Course it's a shite deal. We're losing our top scorer & our best outfield player in January. We have 1 senior striker & it's Wyke who's been injured all season.

Club can't afford to not go up if they sell him. We were told we will be stronger after January yet we are weakening our team and losing our best player. A player that could possibly make the step up & replacing him with potentially Will Grigg

Don't know why we're pretending it's a good deal. It's not.

This but @kildaremackem will disagree.
