Transfer Rumour Frank Onyeka (149 Viewers)

No, because you're a hypocrite and you would rather shout endlessly about something than it get sorted. Hence you haven't and won't report anything like I have said multiple times.

You just want attention that you're doing something to make yourself feel better about yourself.

Much like when you thought your IRA stuff should be posted on a Coventry City forum. (But that's ok I guess?).

What do he get banned for?

African press reporting that a decision by Onyeka could be taken "by Sunday".

I guess it takes time to do the Coventry-Birmingham-Sheffield-Wrexham-Valencia circuit.

He's in some weird orienteering treasure hunt with Manneh.

Just feels like no other Club has so many 'missed' targets, why is this taking so long? either loan with an option to buy or full on buy, where's the problem??

I reckon its to do with the promotion/relegation clauses. For example I doubt doug will want to spend 8 million on him only for him to be allowed to leave for free should we be relegated next year. Plus we dont know what Brentford are asking in bonuses for promotion. Im sure we will get it done

 

[StrettoBoy]

Not as bad as whingeing about people whingeing about whingeing ...

I fear that you are whingeing about people whingeing about people whingeing about people whingeing.

we’re so slow at completing transfers all the time. Something that needs to be improved if we go up or even if we don’t tbf

You could be onto something there. It may be the player not agreeing to the level of wage reduction we would want in the event of relegation.

I would have thought that the way out would be for us to agree a release clause along the lines that he can go if someone offers, say, what we paid for him.

 

[Calista]

maybe we’ll all be surprised

Not being surprised would be a massive surprise.

 

[skybluebristol]

We all just need to collectively chill out, people to stop losing their minds, and just let the club do its thing.

You can tell that most people on here have little experience with any corporate project management. Would be losing their minds constantly with how slow those tend to go

Please show me where I have actually posted any pro IRA posts? That has never happened. I changed my picture to Gerry Adams to wind up Grenners which was silly and I have said sorry for but I've never posted anything pro 'RA unless you are seemingly conflating all Irish nationalism with support for physical force republicanism.

We'll leave this here as it's not the place but you could not be more wrong.

Can you & Nick take this to DMs? It's tedious....

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Ok, that links to the London Standard report that doesn't actually say there is a stumbling block. If you click on the link it just takes you to the story that says talks have slowed.

To be fair, it says Sheff Utd and Valencia and 'cooled their interest'. That's an update (if true).

Because we're consistently punching above our weight financially, it's much harder to get deals done. I don't think it's that tricky to understand.

My apologies, I have already said we'll leave it there.

I don't see how wearing fashionable cushioned boots is going to help.

Sheffield United seem to want Rothwell more and Valencia have signed a CDM from West Ham so hopefully their plans are elsewhere now.

Just to check. Any updates on this bloke in the 15 additional pages?

Yup, but only as to whether he is wearing sunglasses in the transfer talks and if he has his sleeves rolled up or not.

At the moment they are still discussing favourite chocolates.

Could roll on for some time.

No more tedious than the rest of the thread

Valencia come back to you yet on the mini eggs?

Yeah, but tedious, made up transfer nonsense is better than tedious, inter-SBT squabbles.

I see no difference between that and the Judean People's Front

[Ricketts]

It’s probably all waiting in case one the Rudoni/Wright/Milan transfers happen, then it’ll start a chain of events.

We shouldn’t be fighting each other. We should be struggling to work out if Onyeka signs together!

We are!!!!

 

[MacReady]

Cue all of our best players being sold and Steve McClaren installed on Monday.

When I didn't see a thread "song for Frank" I thought as much

It's cool we are trying to buy or loan someone we have actually heard of, and for some unknown reason we as supporters feel there is an urgency to bring him in, but truly is he that good? Is he going to change our fortunes overnight? With all the talk going on about him I feel he is already part of the family and I have added him to my Xmas list. Does our season depend on him? I think it depends on the whole squad and if they turn up, and our coaching staff to make us less than one dimentional. However, I too am excited by the wlii he/won't he scenerio.

I'm warming up the vocal chords for a rendition of 'Time to go Doug King, Time to go (and take fat Frank with you)'.

The fact is we’re not slow. It just feels like it if you are expecting an update every two minutes. The lunacy of the window.

Or the peoples front of Judea.

Because we're consistently punching above our weight financially, it's much harder to get deals done. I don't think it's that tricky to understand.

I had SSN earlier and most Prem managers said more or less the same thing: ‘it’s a difficult window to business in and deals can take longer than usual’ and other stuff about players needing to be the right fit and ready to go.

It’s not just us, it’s across the EFL and we’re no different. Getting Esse, Minny and now Markelo addressed the highest priority position which was out wide.

The deals we need to get done, will get done imo.
