Glenn Hopeful on Defender Decision


Recommended Posts

Speaking of which why the hell arent we in for Ben Haim? Yes he might be waiting for Chelsea but then he may want his future sorted before the summer. Anything up to £5m is a bargain!

Big Sam has refused to sell him mate.

 

Bolton boss Sam Allardyce has ruled out letting Tal Ben Haim leave the club in the January transfer window.

 

Media reports on Wednesday linked Chelsea with a renewed bid for the Israeli international defender.

 

However, Allardyce has rejected the rumours, with Ben Haim expected to see out his contract before moving on in the summer.

 

"There won't be anyone going out now," Allardyce told The Bolton News.

 

Allardyce has revealed that Chelsea have never made a firm offer for the stopper, although discussions did take place.

 

Negotiations between Bolton chairman Phil Gartside and Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon broke down earlier in the month.

 

Allardyce said: "There has never really been an offer on the table.

 

"There's been a lot of discussion but never really an offer to consider accepting."

5 HOURS? IS IT FIVE HOURS LEFT UNTIL THAT DEFENDER COMES?

 

 

 

:clock:         GLENN!?!?!?

You do realise that defender was Gavrancic and the deal broke down, so there will be no new signing in the next few hours.

Did he refuse to sell him or just refuse to accept Chelseas offer? I remember him said something like he doesnt think he will be there in the summer but its up to him.

 

Would he (or the board) refuse £5m when he is likely to leave in the summer? Not good business sense.

Gavrancic was a smokescreen.

Rules out just about everyone by the looks of it - we've got no cash at all it seems.  :'(

If he is finding it to hard to get players to coe then he needs more targets, Gooch would be a good signing yet he ruled him out in an instant.

Go fkn sign him Roeder you fkn foolish man!

Chronicle today says we have no money at all or very little. Thus we can't go out and sign players like Onyewu.

That chronicle article is the usual Anal Oliver BS, particularly this gem.....

 

Indeed, I hear from the south coast that Roeder has been in touch with Southampton about Bale, who he rates as the best young left-back in the game.

 

Contacts in Southampton tell me Roeder was prepared to buy Bale and then lend him back to Southampton for the rest of the season, the United boss is not at the races.

 

WHAT??? We are so desperate for a left back, that we were gonna possibly pay a rediculous transfer fee, then loan him back to the club we had just paid the money to???? :idiot2:

 

But, I expect a statement from Roeder later denying any interest in Gravgaard also! :rolleyes:

The reason is simply because Southampton won't let the player leave this season so if they do it's top dollar plus the player stays till the end of the season. Else the fee would be even more than £10m.

more defenders bought by other teams:

 

http://www.football365.com/story/0,17033,8652_1873093,00.html

 

never heard of them but Allardyce has a knack of buying unknowns who turn out to be very solid ,making them into very wanted players ie: Ben Haim

 

Allardyce always finds good players for the right prices

 

Abdoulaye Diagne-Faye=£750,000

Abdoulaye Meite=free

Tal Ben-Haim=undisclosed fee(no more than 2-3m)

 

Is this good business or what???

 

 

Maybe Big Sam can learn Roeder some things about how to actually sign good players on the cheap

 

I know its not only Roeder's fault not having any signings but Big Sam show us that you can sign good players when you have limited budget

 

Why Fat Fred didnt try to bring Hitzfeld here???

Why?

Why?

It's like 24 only with 48 hours instead of 24.  :cheesy: 

 

Previously on 48:  *plunk.......plink.......plunk......plink* 

 

"Gimme the list, Glenn."

 

"The FUNDS, Freddy.  GIMME THE FUNDS!"

 

"You've got 48 hours to bring this guy in Glenn.  Don't let me down...."

 

*cut to Roeder on phone*

 

"Yeah, Gavrancic.......yeah.......he's WHAAAAAT?..........Worse than fucking Ramage?  Are you sure??!......FUCK A DUCK!"

 

The following takes place between 13:01 and 14:00 on the 26th of January 2007.

 

*plunk.....plink......plunk.....plink*
