Oh but I thought we had loads of money and Matt's statement was just a smokescreen for the spendathon that was about to occur.....................
Just because there is (possibly) money to be spent doesn't mean paying whatever the other team wants. If they want more than we think a player is worth then we won't be held hostage.
You want our money? Okay but so do other targets so better be ready to actually negotiate.
It does make me laugh “Charlton can’t match Blackpool’s asking price” More like won’t match Blackpool’s asking price. Either way I’m quite pleased it looks like the deal is off.
Yeah I hope thats just a case of us telling them to fuck off because they want more money than what the player is worth
I heard that they now want more than the fee that was agreed in the summer, even though there is less to run on his contract.

If we had the kind of money people seem to think, I can't imagine blinking an eye at a few hundred thousand over an asking price. Alas, we do not, and what Southall said in his interview was the truth.
Not bothered and glad we can now move onto other targets. Yes he has scored goals this season, but we agreed £325k in the summer and now with 6 months left on his contract, they want upwards of £500k. No you’re alright, he wouldn’t even be on that much in the sense of paying the rest of his contract to Blackpool.
There are better players out there and as said the other day, I don’t think he would cut it in this league. I’d much prefer us to focus on getting others in than wasting time on this.
Brinkmanship by both parties perhaps. Blackpool trying it on knowing our striker situation and Charlton pushing back with we’ll move on to other targets. Wouldn’t say the deal is dead in the water yet.
MS alluded to the fact that clubs we're sticking extra zeros onto transfer fees now that the takeover was complete. Suspect Blackpool have done the same. We have a valuation, Blackpool don't agree with it so we "move on". Blackpool don't get any other interest, don't want him leaving for free in the summer so come back in a week's time......
Did Gnanduillet score for Blackpool at their place last year? I think I remember spending most of the match trying to figure out how pronounce his surname

Assuming it's French-ish, I'd say Non-dwee-ay or perhaps Nyon-dwee-ay but it could be completely different. You only have to look at the Labuschagne brothers to see the way pronunciations get screwed with. The rugby one gets it pronounced correctly, the cricket one has been messed with so much even he's given up correcting people.
Blackpool Striker Today, Barnsley signing middle of next week.
Maybe loan CB/LB and that will be it imo
Think if Taylor goes we will get another striker
Not sure. The Blackpool guy, Bonne, Hemed, Aneke and Green might be enough.
You mean the "hasn't done anything at Championship level" guy, the "out injured for a while" guy, the "out injured and has done bugger all when fit" guy, the "out injured and done very little when fit" guy, and the "not actually a forward" guy?

FFS I said in terms of numbers, I never said it was in terms of quality. Fucking half our squad is out injured so that could bloody apply to any position.

And of your numbers, only one's a striker who's fit to play and he ain't even here it.

Yes but obviously we are not talking about today. Unless we sign someone ASAP the position can't be changed can it. But going forward I find it hard to believe are going to have 6 strikers, don't you?
Sure, we apparently can't afford a Blackpool striker but we'll be going in for a player who cost £15m and has been at Premier League teams for the past seven years.

You often see clubs unloading striker(s) when they're about to sign, or are looking for, a new one.

If he does sign, i never doubted him or Lee Bowyer's eye for transfers
Now we are panic mode as we aren't signing them.
Just clarifying it for a friend?
