USRoverME Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Forgive a bit of ignorance from me here, but in a situation like this, the emergency loan, what is Blackburn's "compensation"? I understand the combo of Derby covering some or all of Frank's wages, and of course Blackburn gets back a more experienced keeper in a month, but is that it? or does this typically also involve some form of fee?

In this case I think Derby are just picking up his wages. There may be a small 'rental' fee, but it would only be minimal. Clubs do these loans in so many different financial ways that it is hard to tell. Spurs always charge a fee, which in many cases is pretty large.

bluebruce Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 More red-top speculation. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11688_6445359,00.html I know this is a running gag for you, but I don't recall anybody dismissing your Fielding story as red-top speculation.

Guest Walkerite Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 We will be better off without Roberts. He used to have a bit of pace and power but over the last couple of years his legs have gone. He has power but the negative aspects such as;no pace,no finishing skills,a big wage and a bad attitude outweigh the postive in my opinion. Hopefully Nicko will have some more news on the World Cup winner Luca Toni soon?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USRoverME Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Luca Toni is a running gag through the last 1000+ pages of transfer speculation on this board. Same with the likes of Podolski, Klose, and a few others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaddyrovers Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I think we need a midfield playmaker like Tugay and striker who can hold the ball up and a good header of the ball. one player I think we need to look at for the Striker target is Guillaume Hoarau from PSG. Would be the ideal person imo for that position. Class Act!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicko Posted October 16, 2010 Author Share Posted October 16, 2010 The Goulon deal should be confirmed any time now. Two-year contract. One or two minor complications and hold-ups in past few days, but what's new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby G Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Two years suggest its a touch and go on what we think he is capable of in this league and I dont think we would be seeing much of him too early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roberto Policano Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I think we need a midfield playmaker like Tugay and striker who can hold the ball up and a good header of the ball. one player I think we need to look at for the Striker target is Guillaume Hoarau from PSG. Would be the ideal person imo for that position. Class Act!!! Benoit Pedretti at Auxerre is just like that Tugay fella. Artem Dzyuba would be a perfect striker too,right up your managers street.Doubt he'd get a work permit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebruce Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 For me it suggests the man who hands out the contracts is getting wise at long last...... I don't see that as wise unless he has demanded a lot of money (which would be odd for an out of contract player of his apparent stature). The reason being, if he does do well, to a point which made it a worthwhile endeavour in the first place, we will have to give him a decent, long contract. If he isn't being paid much now, give him a three or four year contract so we're not practically forced to renew and double it in a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but suppose he doesn't do to well but we sign him on a four year contract now and he spends that four years as our fourth choice defensive midfielder bleeding a wage of us ala zurab. It's all hit and miss, but having been very frustrated finding out how much zurab has been taking us for I welcome the idea that the board are being prudent with the contracts handed out. If he does do well and commands a better wage next summer then atleast he will deserve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
