Any Topic Going formerly Transfer Rumour s

And Ross McCormack signs for Aldershot. That is dropping down.

 

No.

 

Wow, that is a big drop down for him

 

His wages will be above our wage cap by a fair margin

 

I'm not sure Aldershot Town will have great pots of cash to blow on wages.

 

But let's just say they do for shits and giggles.

 

Are they paying for the chip on his shoulder separately? He’s unmanageable if rumours are to be believed

 

Must be an SNP supporter!

 

The first line of your original post - “How do you know Bogle is in our price range”? Correct me if I’m wrong, but you sound as though you’re questioning whether we can afford him? If McCall has already confirmed that Henderson is the only player who has turned us down due to monetary reasons, I was just baffled by your comment - that’s all.

 

Might have been a reason for him to go, would get away with being a diva

 

I was replying to https://bantamtalk.com/index.php?threads/any-topic-going-formerly-transfer-rumour-s.4119/page-146#post-397971
Lordbantam asked "And now he’s in his prime we need a goal scorer name me a better one in our price range" so I asked Lordbantam “How do you know Bogle is in our price range”? just a reply to Lordbantam, I was not questioning anything other than Lordbantam comment, I try and keep my replied light hearted its so easy for fellow poster to come to the wrong conclusion.
I obviously missed Stuarts comment and apologised having read the article.

 

Is that not a legacy of 17 games in the A league and 3 at Motherwell in 2 and a half seasons. Let's hope now he is at Aldershot, he has had his electric gates fixed...

 

Just had a read of the T&A and lots of folk have been calling Stuart this week.

Hopefully he wasn't too busy to answer some of the calls?

The way he presents our recruitment in the media is just awful. It comes across as so passive, like he's literally doing nothing. Someone should really speak to him about it.

 

The recruitment is all down to Stuart and if it goes belly up, we know who's responsible. It could be a cost saving tactic, who knows, but whoever he decides to bring in and when will be on his head. There's no Abbot or Rahic to blame.

 

It beggars belief our current recruitment policy.

So McCall is waiting for agents or managers to call him to inform him who is available, and then it is pot luck on who eventually ends up here

That's how that article comes across. In other words, he hasnt a clue who he wants, relying on agents choosing for him.

 

It does read like theres no targets, more of whos left after the others have had their pick.

 

This is the balancing act between having a “manager” and a “head coach”. Stuart wants to choose the players which is totally understandable, but surely once he’s decided it passes on to the negotiator (presumably Rhodes).

Who is head scout at City these days? Are scouts able to watch games at the moment?

It looks like we’re going down the loan route,
I’d rather buy our own players but it is what it is. I just hope that they don’t get the usual January feck about when it comes to “will he wont he” scenario about whether we can cling onto them in the transfer window. As our record in January is absolutely appalling I hope somebody somewhere has learned a lesson.

 

Ala Clayton Donaldson, turned us down a couple of times but then signed for one last pay day.

 

Has anyone seen the klaxon?

 

“It’s no surprise after the result of our game came out,” he added. “I had a lot more calls on Wednesday."

“Agents who had been coming on to me the previous weeks see a score like that and think we need a new goalkeeper, new centre halves etc."

“In spite of that I love agents coming on to me and giving me as many players as they can. I always look into them and if they suit ‘great’. I’m open to anyone."

“When I’ve asked for certain positions, they’ve not had anyone. But not only is our landscape changing daily, so is other clubs as well."

there we have it people - our scouting network consists of McCall's iPad and agents getting in touch trying to recommend their own players and it's then that McCall has a look. i guess this is what he meant by "we'll just see what crops up." he must have ran out of credit on the nokia to make any calls himself. shambles.
