No but it is your fault for reporting on the terms being negotiated when we know, with Dovin for example, these things can take weeks and even months. Presumably this is day 1 of a meeting where terms and negotiations are being made.

Why not leave it be til it's concluded cuz you'll only look silly if cov turn it around and he signs

Anybody else got the feeling Matondo is the backup plan if Schlupp doesn't sign?

A loan is usually taken with a view to playing or else why bother.

In which case, is this a vote of no confidence in Tats? I would totally understand that as I think I can count on the fingers of two hands the number of times this season he has gone to the line and crossed. He doesn't trust either himself or his body. Makes him predictable. EMC has crossed more often and he has played a fraction of the games. And we are now playing wing backs anyway.

Also is this what we should from hereon call the Bassette rule: We really need a CDM, but oh look here's quite a good (some other position).
Click to expand...
We need depth, having to change formation because two players got injured isn’t great.

In recent games, we barely make 5 subs because there just isn’t the quality to bring off the bench. If we want to compete in the playoffs, we probably should be able to bring 4 quality subs you’d be happy to start. Being able to sub your midfielders and strikers is a good place to start and we can’t do that.

With everyone available, the squad is in a good place depth-wise. Over a 50 game season, you’re always going to have a few players who are unavailable.

No way a player comes to the training ground and then we figure out we can’t afford the wages.

If it’s a loan the deal is thrashed out between the two clubs - he already has his contract - this is a disaster for you

If it's that's advanced then Wages would've been agreed long before. Obviously he's going to sign, hopefully Schlupp next

The meeting not going well doesn’t necessarily equate to us not being willing to pay his wages.

No, clearly you got the scoop before we sky and it's true

What we're all laughing at is that he's travelled all the way to Ryton to tell us he don't wanna join cuz we can't afford him. According to you

Could have gone wrong when him and Doug King had a scrap because he wouldn't sing his song to him as a signing initiation?

The loaning club would have had to agree the terms so we’d know that before he showed up at Ryton

I have no idea if true but if it has escalated to a loan to buy, are the wages usually agreed beforehand for when / if he is bought?

I said the meeting didn’t go well then told he’s on 30k a week

maybe we don’t want him here because the 30k could be spent elsewhere

Maybe Lampard didn’t like him as a person

who knows
