This is it really. We are just boredly speculating tho, leave us to it ? In summary, logistically and assuming he doesn’t want to move, he is probably going to sign for us, preston, fleetwood, blackburn. Ourselves and Fleetwood are also handily placed for nipping home home for a couple of days sometimes, Fleetwood a bit more than us in truth as he can use Blackpool and Liverpool.

PlayItLivo Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I doubt Scunny are going to acquire his services for a paltry 300k. There’ll be teams willing to pay more for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmer1 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 For 8k a week I'd uproot my family and sit in traffic. If you think he won't move somewhere because of the drive have a word with yourself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latics22 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 He will go where ever pays the most, anyone who thinks differently doesn’t get football. We had it with ripley, he loves it here, he’s got first team football and so on so on. It’s a job they don’t care, some may but most don’t. Yes he likes scoring goals but I bet u If he had the choice of ten k a week and never score again or seven and bang them in he would choose 10k. It’s a short career and even if it wasn’t why would u take less money. It’s just wishful thinking I don’t believe anyone truly believes that he would consider anything other than the best offer on the tabke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozman Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I suspect the reason this has got in the press today is that Preston leaked it to kick off a bidding war. There will be no shortage of clubs interested in signing him and they'll be hoping a bit of competition will drive the fee a fair bit higher than £300k. I see it has been suggested he could just stay on his Preston contract and go on loan again rather than move permanently. In practice that's unlikely. Were he to refuse to move I suspect Preston would tell him he'll be training with the kids rather than going out on loan again. Under the Corney regime, I'd say we have 0% chance of being able to pay the fee and match his wage demands and ambitions. If AL is in charge by January, who knows ?

There must be he odd occasion where a player stays where he's happy and playing well provided the money on offer is at or above where he wants/needs it to be albeit a bit less than what someone else is offering? He could earn more next season on the back of banging in 20 or 30 for us than he might if it goes tits up somewhere like Scunthorpe. It's already gone tits up for him at PNE so he might be mindful of this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 For an extra 7k a week I'd buy a camper van with a really nice bed and pay someone to drive me while I slept. But then I don't understand why people earning 5 million a year get done for drink driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phew. I was going to refer to the £300K price as a ‘sleeper’ so that all the other art dealers on here would now know what field I worked in. Close call.
