Mister Chops 7 Posted January 27, 2008 [quote user="Dowp End"]Well done Mal 14257 hits so far.Do you think you can make it past 20000 ?[/quote]I think he could manage it. There''s five days remaining in the transfer window, so five more "Tiny is signing today" posts, plus four more "Tiny is signing tomorrow, I meant", then another few defending his source - actually, he can probably reach 20k on his own.What do they sing at the ex-Liverpool guy?

Fat Barman 0 Posted January 28, 2008 It''s all a big game between Karren Brady and Neil Doncaster. Both clubs are trying to get the best deal and there''s a bit of needle because of the press coverage (mainly caused by Brady using/abusing her column in The Sun to try and score bonus points). The deal will probably still happen - I think GR''s comments today are a ploy to tell Brum to do the deal or miss out until the summer - but Brady doesn''t want to lose face.It''s been fun, I shall miss this thread when it finally dribbles to a halt, one way or another!

Syteanric 1 Posted January 28, 2008 [quote user="cityangel"][quote user="Mal"]''Tiny'' will sign today.[/quote] Its 11 days since you started this thread Mal [:D] How many tomorrows can you have?[/quote] Ronan Keating sang "if tommorow Never comes" didnt he? well he was wrong.. Tommorow has come, and gone, popped its had back in again because ti forgot its keys then left for good... So Mal.. when is Tiny signing?Not sure i agree with Fat Barman. we havent set our stall out for Tiny.. Neither team is going to budge. Roeder needs to make sure we have a plan B. because to not have another player lined up is suicidal should shacks or the Doc get injured.jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newyorkcanary 14 Posted January 30, 2008 Looks to me like it''s not going to happen. Brady cares too much about her image, and if we landed Taylor for anything less than 1 million, she would look foolish. I just feel bad for Taylor, who seems like a solid guy who did everything NCFC could have asked of him. Now he''s out in the cold at Brum beacuse Brady can''t understand her valuation is worthless if we''re the only ones Taylor will play for. If we don''t get Taylor, nothing would make me happier than seeing Brum get relegated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xxxx 0 Posted January 30, 2008 We could always try offering a million most people think he is worth that , no reason on earth why Brady should sell to us on the cheep . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lucky green trainers 0 Posted January 30, 2008 why would any club loan us an experienced player now after this brum fiasco??? if they''re looking to sell, they know we''ll drive a bargain that''s too much for ego of prem clubs to suffer. we''ve let go of players in the past below market value purely cos they wanted to go - ''safs for instance'' - its all part of football. however, we''ve tried our hand at it, but found a tough opponent in Brady. i can''t see any of our present young loanees wanting to stay - but the protracted and bitter nature of the ''taylor'' affair has done little for our club. on the other hand - everyone knows brum lack class in the boardroom.

newyorkcanary 14 Posted January 30, 2008 I have to ask, Why is Taylor worth 1 mil? If another team who he would play for offered 1 mil, then sure, the valuation has merit. But given the situation where he can either rot in their reserves or help finance some of Brum''s other moves (albeit not as much as they would like) it seems as if there ever were a situation where GR could play hardball (as Taylor would only play for us) this seems to be it. Now whether or not the board have the cash to swallow theirs, and GRs'' pride and pay the extra to get the player is another debate, one that these boards have debated for weeks. But when truly determining a player''s value, you can''t just take Brady''s word that he''s worth 1 million, as they can''t get 1 million from anyone for him, as he would refuse to play for those teams (QPR etc...). And are Brum so well off, that they wouldn''t accept a lowball offer just out of spite and saving face in the press? Taylor has been told by 2 different managers that he has no future with the club, so I would imagine that the smart football move would be to take whatever they could get for him at the 11th hour. But then again, this is Karren Brady we''re talking about... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
