Can’t be Akor Adams as he’s at Afcom 😂

Funny he was actually a target back then as has been confirmed on this MB.

Now way, way out of our league - where is the next Paul McKinnon!?

Probably someone who speaks French and whose agent is mates with Rudy

According to the daily mail, we are interested in Tom Lawrence. 32 years old and available for around £130k. Seems within range of our budget.

He'll want more than £10k per week.

Hope this is true and get him tied down definitely

He will be on way, way less than that in the A League

2 year deal?

Pathetic 

[Kjell]

He will be like a new signing for us, and very versatile. He can play left wing back, and as any one or both of the two strikers we wanted.

A 2 year deal for a player you pay 1.5 million for is a bit of a joke. But I barely care anymore. Incompetence is just the nature of the game now for us.

Our 'war chest' will be used to buy new tea cup holders for the awayday coach Waggott bought us and some extra pennies for Trevor, the groundsman.

[wilsdenrover]

How do you prepare to activate a clause?

You either do it or you don’t.

Cynical **** that i am now wondering if we will sign him next week in order to sell him on deadline day for a profit... Usually about april we need a chunk of cash to pay the bills and that would reduce that requirement. Bonuses all round

He'll have played for 2 teams this season so, assuming the rules carry over to Europe too, he wouldn't be able to play for anyone else.

Another one of those bs stories you hear. Here we go again…

That's the Gueye money spent.

It’s a FIFA rule so it does.

They'll buy him now and sell him in summer i think that was the plan all along.

That sounds like complete BS.

If as alleged all along we have a legally binding option to purchase, what is there to discuss?

[wilsdenrover]

To add, why would talks on a deal be ongoing when the deal has to be agreed as part of the option to buy?

edited to add @RevidgeBlue beat me to it (and put it far more eloquently 😁).

Likely will contain the "option for a further year" clause that all contracts seem to have now, and it won't activate until the summer. So realistically, including this loan, it could be a four year deal.

Only one I have head of there is Hornby, he's an absolute unit, everything Gueye should have been. No chance on him I would suggest.

Got a good engine apparently, but has gone off the rails recently

Oh eck, you've done it now. 

[sharpysharps86]

If Baradji does sign permanently, I imagine he is planned to be Cantwell's replacement as the latter will likely be shipped out in the summer.

For what it's worth, I think Baradji is a good player. Not exactly the deal that we needed to do this month though!

 

[TugaysMarlboro]

Roversxtra is now a poster on here aren't they?

Maybe they can explain their understanding of the deal. I was under the impression that everything had effectively been agreed before the loan.
