Lee Sinnott2 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 If we are allowing him to play games, then surely it is a done deal. He seemed to impress a lot of Boro fans, but then again I would fancy myself to do alright against Bishop Auckland... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigDog Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 There are many posts on Twitter criticising the size of the fee (£150k) we have ‘agreed’ with Middlesbrough for Bahamboula. I am not sure exactly how this amount is in the public domain or even if it is correct. He is on trial up in the north east and it may be that they decide against taking him on. What I do know is that anyone, given a chance to play in the Championship following a season in the basement with a struggling team, would be foolish not to consider the opportunity. if, as is also being reported, Curle proposed the trial period to Warnock then it’s possible that Keith believes he can bring in players more suited to League two with any money we get for Dylan. Yes it is disappointing that, if he goes, we will not get to see live the big man perform in an Oldham shirt but it does make economic sense given the precarious financial state of the club. What I hope is that the fee is higher than that being bandied around and also that we do put a decent sell-on clause into the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc1955 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 ‘Keith believes he can bring in players more suited to League two withany money we get for Dylan.’ Do you mean by paying bigger salaries? Unless the EFL loan is paid off we will still be limited to 22 players and free transfer acquisitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with what you say, it was obvious from when KC arrived that he wasn’t his type of player , also I don’t understand those criticising selling him because it’s better than being sat on the bench for most games. One thing in our favour is from the Edmundson deal is AL will get the best he can. This is about the only area that he’s generally better than the previous owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is about the only area that he’s generally better than the previous owners agree he’s def not curle’s sort of player which is disappointing as with 9 other workmanlike players it’s good to have one match winner. 150k is about right, only done it sporadically in LG 2 and deal is up at end of season.

mick26 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Does the embargo prevent us from bringing in loan players or just our reputation? You must be able to get better players in by contributing to wages rather than signing contracted cheaper players. Current squad desperately needs 3 or 4 good players if we aren't going to struggle again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I guess they wouldn't bat an eye lid if we went to the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is about the only area that he’s generally better than the previous owners When we had sold Edmondson we had a season where we had a cup run which netted us £500k Edmondson had made it into the L2 team of the season so his stock was higher abd we were in a position to hold out for a higher fee. Due to the fact he's training with Middlesbrough and Middlesbrough know we are under a transfer embargo then they know they can pick him up on the cheap. Might just have to accept what we are given.
