Gorkss . . . . the saga comes to an end!

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12875_3886261,00.htmlOne very interesting point of note. Supposedly both Gorks and Hoolahan had buy out clauses of around £250k if you believe rumours. Now whilst I think that Hoolahan may have been more or less a straight swap Gorkss is a different matter.If you read the above article it says that Blackpool will recieve two players PLUS £250k in cash. Now if this is true then Blackpool have just played the best ever poker hand possible. They have done the right thing and asked how QPR found out the get out clause and then thrown in their public and therefore unsporting approach on Gorkss. All of a sudden QPR are making offers to keep Blackpool from reporting them to the FA for transfer irregularities.From what I can see they have gained a couple of players on top of the money. Good fighting Blackpool. Nardiello and Rehman, the first needs a chance and the second I think is probably a squad player at best. But I still think they have done well.

Nardiello and Rehman leave QPR for Blackpool in a move that see''s Gorkks move the other way...

 

No longer a possible target for Norwich then xD

lol you beat me to it xD

Good deal for both clubs because QPR can now get Nardiello and Rehman off the wage bill.I just can''t believe we didn''t sign him grr, sack Roeder, sack the board. NO AMBITION!!

I think he was one of those players that eveybody wanted, but did not know too much about him and jumped on the bandwagon for his signing.

Blackpool have done well, a few months ago, they said that they would never sell to COOPEEERRRR, well money talks.

Good deal for both parties, it seems to me that Gorkss was motivated by the money offered rather than the team around him. Although QPR have the money, they haven''t made much of an impression on me during this pre-season.

why do you think Matthew gilks was part of the Hoolahan deal?

jas :)

[Ian 1,211]

I assumed the Gilks part-exchange was to do with the Livi contract problems, from when Wes moved to Blackpool? Or do you think we "tapped Wes up"?

The thing is with the Hoolahan deal is that a value was quoted but I don''t remember the statement specifically saying that the deal was Gilks PLUS £200k cash.Either way I have a feeling that what happened with Hoolahan is that we put in a bid, not knowing what the exact clause was and then found out as a result and offered Gilks as an addition to the amount of the buy out.I think Gilks going was more of a sweetner to stop them taking offers from anyone else and I think he is quite a coup for them. Either way we have another player out and off the wage bill who no longer wanted to be here which I dont have a problem with because at 28 a player should want to be playing week in week out.The Gorkss deal looks more like a here take these guys and please, please, please don''t tell on us!

if theres a buy out clause then they cant stop accepting offers from other teams....All i can say is that someone at Colney (who should of known ALOT better) did something they shouldnt of... Karl Oyston said he''d tattle... so we shipped gilks out quickly to keep them quiet.

i was told this by the same person me about Joe Lewis and why he left... other posters on here can verify he Lewis news too
