Dokko Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Quite a risk tying up a deal so early, but if this is the start, maybe it'll be finally confirmed in Novermber, so not too far away from the opening of the window. Again it's a player we rate highly, wanted long term, and have gone back in for him, means he's another part of the jigsaw, one or two more like this (RB then cb ) and were laughing. Not really. He seems to be a player who we have been tracking for a while and seems to be our no.1 target for January. I have no problem with the club tying the deals up so that on January the 1st he is our player instead of it dragging on for a month, a time when we could be playing in 3 different competitions.. Wat? Did you read what I posted? It's mostly the bit in bold I was arguing against. Right, well I'm all for tying up deals early, but they do carry a fair bit of risk, mostly injuries. We could lump £8m on him, or all our transfer money, for him to break his leg and be out a season, and knowing our luck, it'll happen. Always said we should have our deals done by the 1st Jan in the winter window, I'm happy were doing it like this, but still, it's a risk doing it so early.

Guest TheSummerOf69 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 We need to have a striker in to cover Ba being off to Africa in January, so this would be great. I presume if Maiga got injured then the deal would be off or on hold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Surely it would be a conditional deal, i.e transfer is off if he kicks the bucket etc... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I would presume we wont be handing any money over until his fitness test is complete, if he picks up a bad injury then i doubt we would go a head. Llambias just wouldn't sanction it...then again we paid for Arfa with a broken leg. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 If the deal is done and he breaks his leg, he's still ours, it's an expected risk of the game. We can't just turn around and say we don't want him. ,medical will be done when transfer is signed, ie this month, next month if were lucky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Well amsure we will put a condition in their, howay man we have seen how Llambias and his team operate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I wouldn't be surprised if the deal isn't dependent on fitness either though, I think we would be prepared to take that sort of gamble to get a good deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically I realise that it is the same point twice but it is such a biggie that I thought it was worth repeating Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Much improved from our seemingly fairly inept summer striker policy of finding people then not quite agreeing deals then panicing. Get it sorted early, so no panics over last minute price hikes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
