Halford til end of season

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Hopefully this happens, been impressed by him after a bit of shaky start. His long throws offer something different and his versatility make him a useful addition to the squad.

Now official.

@OfficialBHAFC: BREAKING: #BHAFC have extended the loan of Greg Halford and he will be available for tomorrow's #FACup tie at Brenford.

Good news but we should have signed him permanently imo as we will face competition from other clubs in the summer.

It might be a loan with a view to buy? That's what we did with Barnes & Painter 5 years ago.

Isn't he out of contract in the Summer?

 

[Brighton TID]

Isn't he out of contract in the Summer?

yes he is, therefore, we will be in a great position to sign him permanently if he performs.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Good news!

Yes, but my point is if he performs well for us, he is then free to talk to other clubs who may also be interested. And how many times in the recent past have clubs offered more wages for players than we have and players stolen from under our nose?

Very versatile player..useful to push up front towards the end of a game if needed

Perhaps it means we get in there now rather than wait for the window to open and other clubs beat us to it...just a thought

I would imagine his wages are high at Forest and we don't want to match them (and are only paying a percentage on loan). Could be wrong but that would be best guess.

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

The window hasn't even BLOWN OPEN yet and we've SINGED a player already.

HOWE many will WE have singed bye the time it SLAMS shut?

 

[Mowgli37]

He's done well so far, a good signing.

 

[blockhseagull]

It's quite possible he doesn't want to sign for anyone at the moment.

Loan till his contract is up and then he can see what offers come in.

Perhaps, but with Fulham reportedly interested ( http://www.nottinghampost.com/Millw...on-race-sign/story-25793308-detail/story.html ) I would imagine they would have paid his full wages. Maybe it was good, quick work by the club but I don't like building a squad around loanees as it means we're back to square one in the summer.

 

[studio150]

Still think Eddie Spearritt's throw was longer, but a good signing

 

[Rogero]

Good news. I first read it Halford ill til the end of season.

This I'd think, he'll be better off waiting providing he has a good second half season - anyway, great news for us and must put us in with a chance of a permanent deal in the summer.

 

[jamie the seagull]

Halford's loan is only until "14th January 2014"....Official from Notts Forest.

Exactly, what we need to learn from is IF we want him come the summer don't wait until August and then lost him. Act fast !!
