Destort 0 Posted January 2, 2009 Just gets better and better! The guy has looked very good this season from the little I have seen for Blackpool. He thought he had signed for us, nothing further was said in yet another PR farce.The best part being he is deemed good enough for the league leaders but not us?

we8wba 0 Posted January 2, 2009 yea we basically signed him. just got agree fee which thought to be 300k. ok player but hardly going to get on the flanks with jarvis n kightly and doubtful he dislodge ebanks blake and iwelumoso him wanting leave rangers for 1st team football isnt going to work in my opinion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Brownstone 0 Posted January 2, 2009 Didn''t GR confirm that he had been at Colney on trial during the summer? I believe that Gow wanted to come but i think as Lappin has pointed out, he didn''t make the grade. Then again, my memory isn''t what it was. I wait to be corrected.

paul ncfc 0 Posted January 2, 2009 I think Gow was the one with the attitude problem according to GR,so he decided after meeting him not to continue our interest,mind you GR wouldn''t win awards for charm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

singing canary 0 Posted January 2, 2009 i see him on the box for blackpool , he looks a decent player, im not surprised we didnt go for him he would have kept the bench warm though, if he got on there.another point , people saying poor roeder is not his fault, you cant exspect us to compete with the likes of mighty blackpool.he has been a regular there, and scored a few... too good for us , Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
we8wba 0 Posted January 2, 2009 did the same to burnley during the lafferty dealpersonally wolves dont ever discuss deals until theyre complete! rangers spilled the beans in a probable attempt to get a bigger offer from somewhere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy_Bones 441 Posted January 2, 2009 [quote user="singing canary"]surely its worth paying a higher salary for a player who is good , rather than paying salary for players not even going to be used at all .[/quote]Agreed, but not if the player initially asks for say £2k per week, but on then finding out we may be taken over by someone with a bit of cash to spend, then demands £4k a week.That''s pure and simple greed, and if the player can get away it with, good luck to them, but as a manager I wouldn''t accept that sort of shenanigans.Indy.

we8wba 0 Posted January 2, 2009 well never been confirmed shackell fee but we heard it was 600k up front, with 200k if we got promoted this within next two seasons, 100k if we reach top 6 this seasonthis may not be right, but what majority seem to think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

|BA 0 Posted January 2, 2009 we8wba - obviously you''ve explained this before but I missed it - humour me.How many club sites do you frequent and why this one?Is it cos they bite so easily? Must admit responses here are far less nasty than other sites I''ve trolled. Bury for example, **** me they''re a ''to the point'' bunch.
