Cheerio... Thanks for the dough

[Ernie For England]

Why haven't they got the balls to tell us how much he's gone for? Stick your undisclosed fee up your arse. Probably because they've let him go for all.

[Hometownclub]

Rather surprisingly the transfer fee is undisclosed.

SSN reporting £200,000

[Oh Heck C-Beck]

The end of Toms career as he gets lost in the reserves of a Premierleague side? Or has he got what it takes, I never saw enough of him!

That is pretty :censored: if true....

[slurms mckenzie]

A couple of hundred grand? Is someone having a laugh?

[MaskedOwl]

shocked when i saw the fee on SSN. bummed again...

[Chaddylad02]

if SSN news is true - so much for knocking back that supposed £250k from another premiership side. no wonder were skint and loaning everyone

[Erratic_Latic]

What feckin use is £200k?

 

What's the point of a 5 year contract and then let him go for peanuts? Isn't the point of a long term deal is to hold out for a better deal?

 

Surely the correct strategy would have been to play him in every game until January, let him bang a few goals to raise his profile and value, and then see if we could get £500k in January? Couldn't the money men have held out for 5 months to get a better return??

I just hope that PD has had some say in it.

I'd be a little suprised at£200k, as we already rejected that bid.

 

Still see it as on par with Micah, if hoes well and we get a decent ad on hpapy days

If he does not, it will turn out to be a good bit of business.

 

I hope some is given to Blitz it helps him out of any reported difficulty, adn menas he is not chomping at the bit for some of his money.

Adn PD get a bit too,

Happy we give the youngster s chance

So if we could sign one player, no transfer fees, including a loan, which position would you strengthen?

GK, or CB or Wing or CF?

 

I'd leave the GK for emergencies if Btill get sinjured, CB seems to be covered OK by Jarrett, Wingers seem an issue but Lewia nd Taylor would seem OK

Niggling feeling we need a striker, we seem a bit lightweight there. Maybe a 3 month Prem youngster loan.

 

And Tony B, it was set up for

Eaves Leaves

or

Eaves, shoots and leaves

 

Good Luck and allt he best Tom.

If, SSN is true.

They may have put 2 and 2 together fro the Blackpool bid.

The fee is pretty immaterial regarding the current first team and squad, as whether it was 200K or 500K it is very unlikely that Dickov will see any of it to replace him or strength the squad.

[oafc0000]

Nothing...

 

If we can't make serious money out of a promising youngster being chased by several Premiership clubs, then you have to ask yourself if our club and others at a similar level are ever going to survive...

 

OR

 

What the feck is going on in the club....

 

That takes the piss...

Would have helped reduce the debt by more though.

 

Oh well.... see him back at BP in next year's Championship then!

I cant believe thats right, unless the add-ons are massive.

 

Warnock was on the radio t'other day tho saying its usually the selling club who requests the 'undisclosed fee' because they've bin shafted.

[razza699]

The 18-year-old has signed a <>-year deal at the Reebok after completing his move for an undisclosed fee.

 

 

 

Bloody hell one of them < >- deals is it!!

[MaskedOwl]

its a 3 year deal by the way

That would only work if he actually did bang in a few or any goals, we could have ended up with a lot less or nothing in January., they have bought him on the back of one friendly match, a very risky strategy if you ask me.

Give his age and contract I just don't understand how we would get shafted for such a low amount...

3 words.

 

We Are Skint

[Stitch_KTF]

Suppose this was always coming - I recall our resident scout BP1960 earmarking Eaves for bigger things about 2 years ago. Not too displeased as I didn't view him as a first team player, which is why I wouldn't be interested in loaning him back. Hopefully he will kick on and we will receive some 'add-ons' and/or a sell on.

I'm sure he would have bagged a few in this season's team...

[ShakerT]

If it is 200k that is very poor for a lad of 18. I agree with most above, If this is true, the club is in a more dire financial situation than we have been told VERY VERY worrying times I hope someone at the club comes out and tells us the truth. But i doubt it!
