It's easy to say that but as usual they'll be a load of other factors between now and May.
We ought to have 2 threads running throughout the season - 'what kept the Albion up' & 'what caused the Albion's relegation'.
They'll both be massive threads, until such time as one 'wins', but as it...
Pretty much as it is, this is just a repeated cycle of 'strikers are to expensive', but consistently said with an element of surprise.
I don't know what's more frustrating, the club engineering this exact same situation again, or Chailey reading this and starting the same bloody row.
How can...
Do you remember a couple of seasons ago when the value striker couldn't be found because of the transfer window bubble?
It is funny how the club have dressed up the same excuse over so many seasons, and posters are still surprised that we have 1 fit striker, who has limitations, (but I loves) 3...
It's got nothing to do with work permits.
If an English team is asking about an 'unknown' player a zero automatically goes onto the asking price.
It's simple economics.
Just because SC Austria Lustenau sold RD to FC Zurich for £250k (irrespective of club ownership) it doesn't mean they'd have...
Do you honestly believe that Dwamena could have been bought by an English Premier League/Championship club for £250k, in January?
If you do, you will stoop to a new level of cluelessness.
I don't see why he's deluded.
I wouldn't be surprised if with this statement Cardiff are actually saying they'd take £20m.
Which in turn is over £5m more than anyone was prepared to pay at the start of this week, when the window had 10+ days left.
Half of them assisted by Noone... just saying :lol: :facepalm:
I know I must be blinkered, we must have benefitted from so many comedy 'gifts' like the first one, or non tackling like his run through. But hindsight is telling me the Albion had to properly graft for every Championship goal...
You do realise this is the Albion and transfer dealing we're talking here, there's threads dedicated to not knowing the facts.
We won't know the facts until THE photo, and even then half of those will be 'undisclosed'.
As said I accept it was a poor choice of phrase.
But playing 80+ minutes in 11 of the last 14 games of a punishing season, did Tomer no favours.
CH took every opportunity to get Tomer out of those games, but as he was alone up there the team was only picking up draws and odd goal (scored by...
Baldock, Zamora, Wilson, followed by Baldock then Akpom.
Ok a poor choice of phrase, but he was flogged in that season because he had to be, Hughton had no choice.
But even when we could all see he was spent he kept going, kept on fighting and was ripping into good defences.
That's way to harsh on Tomer, accepting his limitations (pace) in the last 2 years I'm struggling to think of a time when Tomer has put a foot wrong for the Albion.
He's played along side a succession of sick notes and shitehouse.
He was flogged like a pack pony at the end of the season before...
I can't face that reality just yet!
I appreciate more than one deal can be worked on at the same time, but still getting a better Baldock has to take priority over everything else, and should have done since the end of March, at the latest.
