Bidding War?

[snlk/poksnbn]

According to WOL a number of SPL clubs are interested in out of contract Simon Lappin. It's said that Malky is a big fan of our former loanee.
Do you think he is what we need as cover at the back? Personally I'm at odds with his possible signing. We didn't really see much of him while last here to really judge his ability and he is now a member of the 30 bracket.

Should we pay a large fee or look elsewhere?

 

[Oldsparkey]

Won't be any fee, contract with Norwich was terminated by mutual consent.

Just wages then - what's he worth?

 

[snlk/poksnbn]

What's the minimum wage at the moment?

 

[londonbluebirds]

its hard to say what hes worth having seen so little of him.

 

[Oldsparkey]

£6.19 per hour.

 

[snlk/poksnbn]

Can't see him being tempted by that rate Spark. Though it seems that he only scores as often as Kev. Throw in a pair of boot as well?

 

[taffthefish]

Short term contract with view to longer depending on his performance for rest of season and where we are at the end of the season. If his agent starts a bidding war let him go.

 

[Oldsparkey]

Shame he's 29 years old. If he was under 21 he would only cost us £4.98 an hour.

Come to think of it, Tom Ince is only 20 - could be worth an approach?

 

[hampshire Blue]

If his agent is trying to get a bidding war going, then make sure our bid is the highest then pull out of the deal at the last minute.
That's the only language agents understand.

 

[Hilts24]

Hes been released by Norwich for a reason.

Id only consider a deal to the end of season.

If we go up we need better - much better.

 

[BluefromBridgend]

Agreed Hilts, similar to my comment earlier this week when his release was announced.

We should have double cover across the park for the rest of the season and while Declan John looks a very promising prospect i would want to rely on him for the remainder of the season if Tayls is out at any time. Yes, Kev can play left back but could also be needed at right back.

Please don't say Ralls can play there. He filled in for an emergency but he is not a left back.

if he's not good enough for a bang average team like norwich, then he's not good enough for us.

on minimum wage he'd be worth it, but even so i could think we could do better......

What's the minimum wage at the moment?

Ask Alan Tate!
