Transfer Rumour Salomon Rondon.

[Houghty19]

The manager got plenty of criticism for signing Gray and that seems to have gone alright…

This isn't a go at you but did the manager or the DoF sign him? It's surely either one or the other people seem to pick and choose on here depending whether it suits the argument. Either all signings are DoF or all are managers. If they're managers then whats a DoF doing? Just seems a bit one sided this to beat brands with whenever possible. I'd rather just have a go at him for not bringing a right back in for four years (sackable offence I'd say) than the present signings which are all being done because of FFP regs (partly down to brands for buying rubbish).

Let’s just wait and see

your mad if you think he’s coming here on 50k a week though

Like you I have no idea

 

[Kev The Rat]

Like you I have no idea

Look at his age and where he’s coming from.

that alone tells you 50k a week is far below what he would accept.

 

[GlosBlue]

I'd rather sign a young player to develop than a veteran who is well past his best and had gone off to play in China.

The whole point of the DOF model is to sign players who fit a system and culture, not favourites of the incumbent manager.

Nothing to do with the DOF this though.

 

[Milkman]

You can if it’s our only remaining business of the window.

But you've already started fuming?

Depends how desperate he was to get away and back to premier league

 

[ToffeeTim]

Nothing to do with the DOF this though.

And if thats the case, then that's my point

 

[ForeverBlue92]

I’d rather play Dobbin

Whats the point though mate when we just had a youngster in Kean?

Young players should be going out on loan getting regular minutes under their belt like Simms last season.

Needing to rely on these players just puts pressure on them too early.

 

[Houghty19]

Can't see anybody else chasing this lad so we might have got him on lower wages than anybody thinks.

 

[neil999]

Been told it’s in the 100k region.

even if it’s not there is no way it’s going to be in the 50k range that some optimists have said here.

Oh that was just me winding you up sorry

 

[stretford blue]

Let’s just wait and see

your mad if you think he’s coming here on 50k a week though

Not going to be any less than £120,000 a week

 

[PhilM]

He'll help take us to the next level.

I totally agree. Instead of landing in the Family Enclosure or even the Main Stand, we'll see the ball in the Top Balcony.

 

[PSB1]

High time we had a Dapper Donkeys thread.

young player should be given opportunity like DCL. He will not be the player he is now if we deprive him of first team minutes and repeatedly send him out on loan.
5 to 10 appearance for dobbin is way better than going out on loan playing negative football under abysmal coaching.

 

[Death]

Say what you like this signing is completely indefensible given the age and wage.

And Brands will have had nothing to do with it.

How do you know what his wages are?
