hypochondriac Posted 26 August, 2011 Share Posted 26 August, 2011 how on earth do you know it was burnley and blackpool bidding for cork....did you know that ipswich tried to get lambert a few weeks/months back...? im sure many clubs bid for players and the public never find out He used him as an example of a player who was linked to various clubs. he was linked to those two and I saw no links to clubs of a higher standing than ourselves.

derry Posted 26 August, 2011 Share Posted 26 August, 2011 It seems Gold/O'Sullivan are putting in about £3m a month shoring up the finances and need to sell Parker to Tottenham to help the finances. Allardyce has never seemed to be too bothered about spending money and paying ridiculous salaries (Nolan). It wouldn't surprise me to see salary being the clincher as WHU seem to have no structure. Looks like another Pompey saga in the pipeline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alain Perrin Posted 26 August, 2011 Share Posted 26 August, 2011 This is getting stupid. We never seem to be able to get our targets lately. I dont think west ham our a bigger club just prob have more money at the mo. Considering we sold chambo we should have loads tho. Sorry anyone who thinks Saints are bigger club than WHU needs their head checking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted 26 August, 2011 Share Posted 26 August, 2011 baldock would be a cracking signing Highly rated,and currently considered a good prospect , but why is he considered such a good potential signing ? I did not see anything remarkable last season at St Mary's despite his goal. I'm not doubting your opinion btw, just intrigued as to what he offers, at 5'7" he certainly won't be challenging RL for a place, but joining several who might partner him up front.

MOSaint Posted 26 August, 2011 Share Posted 26 August, 2011 He's made his choice, we move on. If the club want to compete with the West Hams of this league who are willing to risk going into admin or worse by spending their way to promotion, we'd have to start throwing about silly wages and it's just not worth it.

I don't think West Ham are.... Not necessarily only "Financial Priudence" We have a happy squad, all signed on contracts that they are also happy with. That will be our great base to build on this season. Start bringing in outsiders to better the team they'll be happy. Start bringing outsiders in who are on Double The Money but "haven't proven their worth at THAT level yet" - recipe for dissent and disaster. The team will all be working together to earn PL level wages, bring in some "Johnny Come Lately" who's already on them - no thanks Never underestimate the Mental Side of football (and that includes other bankrupt (ish) clubs doubling our wage offers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krissyboy31 Posted 26 August, 2011 Share Posted 26 August, 2011 I don't understand why people think buying footballers is any different to buying any other commodity? One has a value in mind, maybe try and get it for a little less. If not, one goes up to that valuation but if that is not enough to get the product, you go elsewhere. Doing business any other way is extremely irresponsible, whether one has sh!t loads of money in the bank or working to a strict budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather put all my focus into bringing a decent CB in. I don't see why these are mutually exclusive. I'm sure NA isn't naive enough to not bring in both. This is visible by the fact we've been interested in Gorkss, Jemal, Fontaine.....and Maynard, Rodriguez, Baldock. Atleast we have a manager who is targetting the areas which need strengthening rather than having someone like Burley in charge who loved midfielders and then playing them at full back !!!
