CONFIRMED Chris O'Grady

[S5Blade]

Maguire ?

looks that way..... Having a pop at us for holding out for what Maguire is worth. Clearly thinks that we were not willing to pay what he thinks he is worth. What a cunt

 

[Latters]

What the fuck does that mean ?

Obviously it could have been an option but it wasn't an option but if it was an option then it's an option he would maybe have chosen over another possible option but it didn't happen because it wasn't an option that could happen. What's not to understand?

Having listened to the interview, it didn't really sound as though he was having a pop, more saying it would have been nice if it had come off, but it didn't. If the suggestion is that the Maguire situation was affecting whether the deal happened, the real question is:

- are we dependent on Maguire going in order to pay for a striker, or
- would we be aiming for a higher target if cash from any Maguire sale became available?

 

[SwissBlade]

Maguire ?

Plus ched and Brayford

 

[Pinchy]

He may have a broad impression but he really doesn't know what is happening at SUFC. Players know a lot less then supporters might think! Any "inside information" from a player should be regarded as amusement value only. They see what they see at BTDBL and Shirecliffe and that's it. Nigel doesn't cpnsult them on transfer dealings!

Isn't it more likely that we're close to the FFP wages limit and getting O'Grady's £7,000pw salary in required Maguire to move out?

maguire leaving wouldnt have affected the ffp wages limit

 

[Balham]

maguire leaving wouldnt have affected the ffp wages limit

Why not? He's 21 at the start of this season so is included.

i didnt think he was as a youth product ,cant see his wages being enough to cover ogradys even if he is

Only players 20 or under at the start of the season (I think they use September 1st) are excluded entirely while players with coaching responsibility are part-excluded.

The bit about O'Grady arriving relying on Maguire leaving is more likely to be caused by the SCMP calculations where transfer fees are counted as turnover. If we got £3m up front for Maguire we could spend 60% (£1.8m) of that on wages that we otherwise couldn't afford.

well i bow to you superior knowledge on this subject

 

[Harry's Game]

COG already being bombed out at Brighton according to rumours, could we be back in for him?

 

[Bladesman]

COG on loan you reckon?

 

[Harry's Game]

We could do worse, loan with a view to a permanent signing.

 

[dronny_blade]

Darren Bent to Brighton, does that make the COG move to us realistic now? Ignore me should have checked the other thread

 

[sitwell]

Bleedin Hell Dronny ,with it saying elsewhere I thought hed already signed for someone else

 

[Bladepicker]

Bleedin Hell Dronny ,with it saying elsewhere I thought hed already signed for someone else

Haha I immediately opened the thread to see which cheeky sods had nipped in and signed him.

 

[Latters]

I hoped he had.

 

[sitwell]

Preston ?

 

[Jehovah]

Brighton sign Darren Bent on loan........

 

[Kenilworth]

If COG signs for us on loan will he be the only man to have played for Blades, Pigs, Dingles and Toy Town or are there others?

Of course JCR has three of those badges in his collection.

Darren
Revolution
Silent Blade

 

[boo radley]

Not bothered.

I can think of a number of players who've played for both Sheffield teams and 1 other South Yorkshire club (Curran, Varadi, Bradshaw) but can't off the top of my head think of anyone who's played for both Sheffield clubs and 2 other teams in S Yorks...there must be someone.

4 different South Yorkshire teams has definitely been done though. 80's forward Tony Cunningham didn't play for us, but played for the other 4.

 

[sitwell]

Danny Wilson has managed 3.

 

[Kenilworth]

JCR has also been at Chessie but since that is not Souh Yorks I didn't include that.

 

[judge]

Why does it say gone elsewhere ?

 

[sitwell]

Why does it say gone elsewhere ?

Old thread from earlier in the year when he went to Brighton.

 

[judge]

Oh ok cheers

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Why does it say gone elsewhere ?

It's a time-saver

Gordon Owen also did all the S Yorks clubs except United. Like you, I am struggling to think of someone who played for United and 3 other S Yorks clubs....
