No, but you know the situation. He is contracted to his club. They want money to sell him. We want him for as little as possible. We knew the purchase price discussed when he came on loan - so now we are hoping to get him back on loan...or on the cheap. The question is how much do they not want left with him verses how much we may sweeten a deal for taking him... In the meantime his agent is trying to see how he and his player can benefit from every possible outcome...one of which is going to another club. Either way IF he returns it will cost us something, perhaps not too huge an amount, but something... Player wants to come back and for me that is a big factor... The negotiations will continue until the deal is done or we get someone else... still think it is about 45/55 in our favour... The big man is very decent and it is a tough call to get an equivalent or better option on our budget. (Basically he was a steal wage wise last season) Game of chess continues...

I actually wonder if any deal could involve us taking other player(s) from Dinamo Bucharest , as they seem short of money and might want a couple of players off their payroll , but at the same time maybe get a transfer fee . Would love to see Popescu signed up for next season . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendy Saintss Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 You think Oran wants to publicise that so that the media can identify them and tell all other clubs? 🤡Yeh, because of course, their agents wouldn’t have thought about contacting other clubs [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendy Saintss Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 The right formula is more one loss (against the champions) in 10 games against many teams similar in resources. We ended up in a play-off because of a train wreck of a season that started with Stubbs and took some time to sort out including the gelling of new players & building back confidence of others. Not surprised this is lost on someone that’s go to is practically almost always the most negative stance. Yet Steve Clarke managed to take a Kilmarnock side in a worse position the season before and get them into the top 6 with basically the same side.And OK certainly got the confidence of Cammy Smith back...... er hang onIf only we’d signed Liam Smith we’d have been sorted! [emoji23]And hounding put a manager after only 4 games in charge is the most negative stance of all! The irony! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep and Steve Clarke (who has vast experience at a very high level by the way) has been rewarded by moving into a more senior job. Do you think I’m suggesting OK has done better than Clarke? also feel free to point out where I said OK got 100% of players performing well at the club? Quite lofty expectations don’t you think? He did enough for us to survive and complete the last quarter of fixtures as one of the most in form teams in the league. A near miracle given the mess he inherited imo You always come back to the Liam Smith point which is very strange considering how easily it was to defend my comment... United not building an SP able side no? Nine games including failing to beat amateur/ non league players. We know you’re a troll but even this effort from you is very poor.

Alan, Alan, Alan if you are going to continue your trolling on here at least use properly constructed sentences that make some sort of sense ! If, as you claim, fans did "hound" you out then I say well done the fans. Probably one of the best examples of fan power I have witnessed in Scottish football.

Magic Monkey Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) It's time for the letters game again, people. Lots of number 9s ordered, along with the letters D, N, R and O. Edit: a load of small Cs as well, but that's got to be fairly standard in Scotland. Speculate away! 😋 Edited June 19, 2019 by Magic Monkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
