I think we'll get him, it was less than a year ago Leeds terminated his contract early.
He'd be guaranteed first choice with us and perhaps we're willing to pay more than a Championship club will for a player that won't be first choice and is yet to prove himself at that level.
Watching his goals looks a similar player to BWP, and like him I wouldn't be surprised if there are doubts about whether he's quite good enough for Championship football.
It was said early this morning that the deal would not be completed for a few days , so don't see any problems would say the hard work done , there always a chance someone wil come in last min that's football if it happens and he goes to a championship side you can't blame him we move on to another target ....
the delay is worrying .. there are surely quite a few clubs interested in him .. I guess we'll have to offer quite a large salary/benefit package .. come on Duchatelet, pay the bloke his just desserts
I really hope this is a joke...
It was only announced quite late last night that a fee had been agreed.
Christ, my 2 year old Grandson has more patience than that!
When you were a kid, did you ask your parents in January, "how many sleeps until Christmas"?
Loopy by name and nature .. does your grandson enjoy talking to a senile old man ? .. IF all is well and a fee agreed, how come he has not yet signed ?
What about agreeing terms with the player?
You know, weird things like wages, length of contract etc.
Unimportant things, to you perhaps, but not quite so unimportant to the player, the club, and the players agent...

Katrien will need to meet him to discuss his contract, undertake his medical and tell him what to say for his press interview.
And maybe because Katrien doesn't work every Friday?

A club will know what the player wants before they are allowed to talk to him , his agent will also know what on offer before the club and player meet , reports suggest from Swindon we have offered 3x his current salary .......
I can't believe he was on £1000 a week with Swindon.
Fuck me I've just got back from sunny Thailand after 'logging' in every bloody day in hope AND here it is!!!!!!!! Andy Delort................by the way, is it back on? oh and hows his old man? How I miss 'the Delorts'........................
Nick Ajose on the other hand looks very good at this level. I also like a striker that LOVES to score goals and show that it means a lot to him!!................and the loyal 'customers'
800K is a comparative bargain for a young, consistent striker .. I'd be surprised if clubs like Reading, Fulham, even a Derby are not very interested in Ajose .. fee agreed or not, I am concerned at the delay

The point is though, Lincs, he's consistent at out level (or appears to be at least) but is unproven at Championship level. I'm sure he's on those clubs' radars but even Jordan Rhodes had to get into the Championship (and now Premiership) by getting promoted rather than being transferred so high placed teams are not always to take punts on lower league players, albeit I'm sure Rhodes will have had a higher price tag that Ajose currently does.

Wilson from Coventry to Bournemouth and/or Gray from Luton to Brentford and then Burnley (for a LOT of money) are prime examples of 3rd/4th tier strikers moving up a grade with great success .. other than Vardy, how many Premier teams sign lower league strikers e.g. Rhodes ? .. the majority are signed from foreign clubs or rarely, like Harry Kane. are 'home produced'
EDIT .. Correction ... even Vardy made the Prem through a promotion
Think Ajose has Charlton in the bag rather than the other way round. I can imagine his agents phone being red hot trying to get someone to better the offer.
Can't help feeling that he's gonna pitch up at another club on Monday. Birmingham or whoever is after him from the Championship will be a more attractive proposition.

I really can't see this one happening.
Hope you're wrong, but I expect this to be the case.
Though it is to an extent understandable, I think some people are a bit to cynical over this. It's known we have eclipsed a few clubs with our offer, but even then I'm sure the club didn't want it out there. It came out what, 48 hours ago, that the fee was agreed it took another few weeks for Igor to join after that. Just because it might take a few days to agree a contract, get everything registered etc. doesn't mean it won't happen. It'll sound stupid with all else she comes out with, but Sue Parkes does give us some insight regarding this. It really isn't as simple as agreeing a fee then chucking a uniform, weekly wage at a player and a clause or 2 as you do on FIFA/ FM. This is real life business.

Of course you are right but this is very much exactly what happened with Wilder isn't it.
Don't under estimate the agent in all this. He will know what we have on the table and will be keen to see if it can be bettered. Perhaps it will and perhaps it won't but I'm fairly confident Ajose is being touted around until he actually signs.

Everyone knows this goes on, but you can get in a lot of trouble with the FA/FL doing that.

With him praising slades appointment and having worked together at Cardiff it's a possibility.
