James Posted 29 December, 2011 Share Posted 29 December, 2011 I still think Jay Rod really is the one they want. I wouldn't be surprised if this were the case. He fits the current ideal of signing young players who can progress with the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 29 December, 2011 Share Posted 29 December, 2011 (edited) we never really got to the bottom of the Sharp transfer collapse, but on face value it looked like he wanted more wages than we were willing to offer. His wife's pregnancy has subsequently been used as a reason for not wanting to move, but I don't think that had anything to do with it. Why chat at all of you didn't want to move. The Maynard deal never seemed to get off the ground as it appeared Bristol City wanted a sum far exceeding what we feel is right for a soon to be out of contract player. It therefore wouldn't surprise me if we spent the last 5 months scouting elsewhere. Quite happy, as I'm not a huge admirer of either. There could well be better players from abroad more reasonably priced and demanding lower wages. Edited 29 December, 2011 by Chez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Karloff Posted 29 December, 2011 Share Posted 29 December, 2011 we never really got to the bottom of the Sharp transfer collapse, but on face value it looked like he wanted more wages than we were willing to offer. His wife's pregnancy has subsequently been used as a reason for not wanting to move, but I don't think that had anything to do with it. Why chat at all of you didn't want to move. The Maynard deal never seemed to get off the ground as it appeared Bristol City wanted a sum far exceeding what we feel is right for a son to be out of contract player. It therefore wouldn't surprise me if we spent the last 5 months scouting elsewhere. Agree with this. Sharp fell through and I would be very surprised if the club tried to resurrect it. As for Maynard, they may well feel that he is going to end up in the Prem. Strange wording though, I'm sure they'd want both of them, just that they have targeted elsewhere as their priorities.

Not that I doubt your logic, but makes you wonder why we didn't sign him on loan when it was rumoured. He would have helped us to a few more points in our sticky December I reckon.

S-Clarke Posted 29 December, 2011 Share Posted 29 December, 2011 Jay Rod was our number 1 target in late august, I know that from a pretty decent agent I've known for years. We did bid for both Fox and Jay Rod, that definitely happened. We went back in against on deadline day for Jay Rod, even Sky Sports confirmed that, but it was too late really for anything to be sorted out then. I still expect him to be our top target. He'll cost a fair bit of money, but the bid we made from what I've heard is still on the table and was to be revisited in January. So we'll have to wait and see.

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 29 December, 2011 Share Posted 29 December, 2011 Certainly something was very close to happening with Lukas. You only had to hear the interview with the Coventry manager to know that. I'm the Echo story at the time was that we would look to buy him in January but were prepared to pay a bit more for a loan in November + a permanent move in January. Maybe Cov opted for the latter in the hope Lukas scored enough goals to give them a fighting chance of avoiding the drop before departing. Even Lukas was pretty non-committal when questioned about the move, saying something along the lines of "it wasn't the right time to comment on the speculation" rather than a firm "I'm staying at Cov". Didn't someone also post today, on another thread, that he'd heard Jay Rod was a done deal? Whatever happens, the first we'll truly know will be on the OS as always but it would seem two of the liklier candidates can be struck off the list, if this info is true.

Turkish Posted 29 December, 2011 Share Posted 29 December, 2011 Rhodes currently scores at a rate of 1 in 2, Lucas and Jay score one in 4. and Rhodes is playing for one of the best teams in a lower league and Lucas is playing for an awful side in this league.
