Jobe Bellingham - Signed

[one footed wonder]

Don’t know a huge amount about him tbf.

Be interesting to see where he fits in and if he can make the starting team…..can’t see him being happy on the bench.

Obviously it means we aren’t going for michut but wondering about any impact on Rigg and his pathway to the first team

 

[SAFC_Jack]

I've asked twice now how he fits the formation / where he would okay, still not had an answer

There’s a post about it two above yours man ffs.

 

[The Situation]

£3m is more than 90% of clubs in the division will spend this season.

 

[Grimes]

Surprised it's so much (if it happens). Interesting signing.

Don’t think it’s a bad price tbf Jude signed for Dortmund at 17 for an initial fee of 25m granted he’d a bit more experience.

He’s been a bench player for Birmingham so I don’t think he’ll be necessarily a starter, particularly based upon his age and experience but Ekwah has blossomed quite quickly so who knows.

 

[Mboma]

I read he's a good creative playmaker, you can see his dimensions. Add to that he's quite quick too. Someone said his best position would be as a centre mid in a 3 man midfield.

I thought he looked like a no.10 when I've seen him, but that's only on the little I've seen of the lad

Go on then:
Post in thread 'Tony Mowbray'
Tony Mowbray

Why even mention he’s free? What could the implication there be if not what I suggest?

So you found one post where I said he is free and available, well done.

I'd rather spend money in players than a coach that will be wanted by bigger clubs sooner. However you carry on thinking thats me constantly implying the owners are tight.

Will you be pulling all the other posters on this thread who have said the fee seems high?

 

[Barry Quizshow]

That’s extradorinary about Monk and his agent on there

Yes and the way it was said as if it was common knowledge, at least on their forum. It obviously doesn't make it true but it isn't the first time that I've seen such accusations levelled at Monk.

 

[Mowgli]

It does come into for under 23 players who are available on a free. At least a tribunal would consider it.

Aye but he's on a professional deal now and has 1 year left.

 

[gramw]

Why did people care about the cost btw? It’s not your money.

Not sure where this “the club is tight” comes from as we’ve shown we’ll spend where it seems appropriate.

I don’t care, but surely it’s because they think the money could be better spent elsewhere as we don’t have unlimited money.

Say we overpay on buying a striker we shouldn’t not care just because it’s not our money. As it means we can’t strengthen elsewhere.

Seems obvious enough

 

[stevo]

So for those that know more about him, where does he fit in our starting 11? Assuming we keep the 4231 formation?

Think him and Evans will cover the main 2 Neil and Ekwah

Rigg is 15 like

 

[Guinness Guzzler]

3 million will be structured with a lot of that being add on, sure the ITK’s were reporting around 350k being the outright fee.

Probably be a good sell on % for Birmingham too, excited by this one.

I think people were getting confused with the 350k tbh. That's about the level of compensation they'd have been due if he was out of contract but his contract was extended to 2024. But aye, you'd imagine £3m will include add ons and some sort of percentage of future profit

There’s a post about it two above yours man ffs.

Which I've now just seen, there's also a post saying he's a 10

Na, because they haven’t been spamming the board for months implying the owners are tight as far as I’m aware.

 

[bugman]

I know we’re on page 30 here, but is he actually any good?

We actually have a fairly big squad, they are just all youngs

once we sign a few strikers then I cant imagine there will be loads more coming in like

And off all my spam, you found one post, top work

Rigg is 15 like

Oh aye I agree that he is still very young just wondering if it would have an impact….reading pieces on rigg staying here it was all about a clear plan for development/progression it may not impact it but was just thinking out loud
