Sam baldock - Merged

[Mackenzie]

Sounds crazy but Brighton are not in the best financial position atm. There was a big article when they were in the playoffs last season, saying how they spent a hell of a lot of money on the assumption they would go up and it obviously backfired. I can't see them throwing money for the sake of it.

From the BC board

Right.


Well that's that then.

Comments from Bristol, seem pretty confident they'll keep him- might need a big bid.

Big enough to turn his head. As we found out last year, a player can dictate a move whether the club wants to sell or not, particulate with only a year left on his contract.

Does anyone know if the other player used lube? Nobody likes going in dry, recipe for disaster!

They certainly rate him too.

Didn't he get relegated with them?

It was a bone drier..

Makes me wonder who leaked the story to Sky...was it Brighton to show us lot that we are bidding on a couple of new players, was it City to help fuel a bidding war OR (most likely?) was it SB's agent hoping to get an improved deal for his player (plus his 10% of course).

We don't usually do business like this.

I'm not 100% sure but I think Peter O'Rourke has been first to publish transfer gossip about us before.

What, to get your arsed fingered?

Nah i could go down dukes mound for free tonight to get that,i meant,well you know what i meant..

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

Only on NSC could we go from our club having a bid rejected for a prospective player to anal fingering

It's a right pain in the Rs

Sounds like the player's agent is being mischievous on several fronts. By going public about our (alleged) interest it winds up his current club (Grabban style) to get a better deal there, it puts pressure on us because it's now public and we might be inclined to increase our bid or get gazumped and thirdly it alerts other clubs to maybe prompt a bidding war. Finally the agent also fancies a nice commission on whatever inflated deal results.

Fortunately as you suggest we don't normally do business this way. However, because we will not be held to ransom it does mean that we run the risk of being gazumped.

Assuming Wikipedia is right, only 1 year left on his contract. Unless he is likely to sign another, Brizzle will probably consider selling

 

[casbom]

Didn't they pay about £2m for him? I should imagine we would have to pay at least a mil to get him, even if it is in the last year of his contract

Need something to add a bit of flair to a League 1 player

£1 million according to this http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/Sam-Ba...Bristol-City/story-21061583-detail/story.html

He scored 9 goals the year they were relegated. Maybe L1 is his level.

Scoring 9 goals in a team that were relegated isn't that bad and Bristol were beyond woeful that year.
