Transfer goss and rumours, Summer 2016.

Then like the Naismith scenario We shouldn't persue a player who doesn't want to come here. It will end in failure!

 

He would be a good player for us, he would score goals and solve a massive problem we have. But, for the money talked about, for a 30 year old who's never played above the Championship. I think it's s lot of money.

In a way, when you think a natural goal scorer could bag us premiership football, you think go for it. But I dunno, feels risky. Plus as you said, if he wants premiership football, we would be an afterthought.

 

This is how I would love us to act in this transfer window! I'd be so happy if we were making a push for 3 players like this. I would love us to sign young players, with massive potential, who are comfortable/excel at Championship level, but you know will turn into Premiership players.

You mean like we did with RvW and Nathan Redmond?

Things don't always go the way you hope!

 

No.

RVW Never was established at Championship level, or Played in English football. Plus we signed him for the Premiership. Redmond was a great buy. He's a really good player with massive potential. When he gets played, and in the right way, he's a real threat. If he leaves Norwich this summer, it will be to a Premiership team.

 

Yes, I read that earlier. Of course he'd go to a PL team if he gets a good enough offer. The question is, will he get that offer? It's certainly possible, most likely from one of the promoted clubs, but it'd be a bit of a gamble considering he is unproven in the PL.

 

I bet you haven't seen a pair for 30 years.

 

I have a bird table outside my front room window!

 

You mean like we've done with Maddison and I think there's a player from Gillingham that we've signed as well.

Those birds are not tits and are not on a table!

 

Yup, Maddison is one. Cody McDonald wasn't one.

 

I'm sure there was one we signed around the same time as Madidison.

 

We did Ebou Adams from Dartford , Cody was years ago .

Interesting spelling of Maddison .

 

The Swindon lad?

 

No that was last season Luis Thompson

 

Ah yea. Think it was a lad from somewhere like Dartford, as you said. Was he a CB? I remember us signing a CB from non-league.

 

Midfielder

 

Interesting spelling of Louis

 

Whether Redmond is a premier league player or not, we'll still make a big profit on him. We could have had even more if he had more time on his contract.

If you buy washed-up players like Jarvis or Naismith you will only ever move them on on a free transfer.

Chances are, we'll make a profit on Maddison a few years down the line. Buying young players is smart.
