You said the W word. Schoolboy error ,go and confess your sins.

I've got a mate who's a Darlington fan When I spoke to him about Burn he was angry with Fulham, saying they had deliberately not played Burn to avoid triggering an additional payment clause in his transfer fee. Maybe there is also a sell on clause and this caused the problem surrounding the transfer, since player, agents and both clubs supposedly want the deal to go through.

You're not suggesting that because a player wants to move his club won't allow this? C'mon, surely this can't be right can it? I mean, a player asking for, and expecting a move? That can't be right can it? What bastards the club must be to deny the player such a move.....for Murphy's sake!

That sounds about right.
Doesn't play any more games for Fulham, so it doesn't trigger the next tranche of a fee.
Player goes out on loan whilst his contract runs out - receiving team pays for good % of wages during loan
Darlo get no sell on fee for the player when he moves.

I guess it's a similar situation to the no fee we received when Kyle Naughton moved from Tottenham to Swansea

And we wonder why the so called lesser clubs struggle like fuck.

It's really petty in footballing terms from Fulham but if that's how the deal was done then they only have themselves to blame I suppose.

You wouldn't be allowed to get away with swearing like that on Bladesmad.

I'm beginning to see how easy come-easy go it is over here on S2. I'm quite shocked.

When was this? Burn has played the last 3 games for Fulham. Tbh, I'd be surprised if we got him, as he's been a regular all season.

Looking at the Darlo forum , they seem to think they'd be getting 18%, although half of that looks like it would go straight to creditors.

They also say we bid 1m, I think it would be about a quarter of that.

Think I posted a link earlier stating Fulham paid £350k up front rising to £1million depending on appearances etc...I guess they're getting shut so as not to pay the rest...dunno how that'll affect Darlington...

 

[finlaytheblade]

Dan Burn relegated to bench. today
maybe he,s on his way to us? Fulham signed Stearman are they now covered enough at centre back
to let burn go! ! hope so. Will Hammond be involved with Leicester today if not he surely will be going out on loan hopefully to us, at his age 32 he needs to be playing games to earn a contract somewhere as he is out of contract in summer, fingers crossed again.

 

[Bladesman]

It would be a real coup for us to get both Burn and Hammond.

I think we would still need to offload one or two players first before anyone comes in.

 

[Ricky]

King STRAPPY says Burn's likely to be in for the Bradford game. If STRAPPY himself says so, that's good enough for me.

I hope he's right because Bradford are a physical threat, especially with big dirty James Hanson.

Would Adkins just drop Collins straight away though?

I doubt he'd be trying so hard to get someone in to not play them as quickly as possible. I don't think there'd be any hesitation from Adkins on that.

Hammond not in Leicester squad :-? ;-) ;-) ;-)

Think he'll be off somewhere then - just hope it's to us

I hope we have other targets apart from Hammond and Burn because we need to strengthen ASAP.

That's your first mistake

If Burn and Hammond join we will have 2.loanees at centre half, 1 at centre mid and 1 at centre forward...ie 4 out of the 6 outfield spine of the team won't be our players #shouldhavespentthemurphymoney

For all intents and purposes, Edgar and Sammon are our players on one-year contracts. The loans run to the end of the season and, effectively, their parent clubs' contracts. They are perfectly entitled to compete with us for their services in the summer, but I can see both players here for an extended stay. Similarly, if Burn and Hammond do join it'll be with a view to tying them to a longer stay in January.

It seemed we were trying to buy Burn at the least (sounds coming from Adkins at the time would point to Hammond being a permanent deal as well. So my assumption, whether it's right or wrong, is that they would be loans for 3 months and then to buy them at the start of January.

Loans never did the pigs any harm when they went up did it?

Proper use of the loan system may be the way to go. Good players on good wages but not extensive contracts will not drag us down if we go up.

Is his GASOMETER still up to 5 on the Harlee Dean deal?

Yes, never settle for second best. Only take your first choice. Worked so well with Chris O'Grady.

 

[Ricky]

If the second best options are better than what we've got and would give us what we need then yes we should have signed them if possible. It's OK waiting for the first choice targets but not if it takes half a season. Waiting for the odd player, maybe, but waiting for 2-4 players, as we need, is not the way to go when you're going for promotion and can't afford to sacrifice points over a large chunk of the season. It's important to get good players, but it's also important to get them in at the right time, and that's where we've failed for whatever reason. It's a shame because we had this division on a plate. Now we're reliant on other teams' inconsistency, loan signings and players returning from injury. Hopefully it still works out well.

I'm sorry. How can one defeat convert a "division on a plate" to reliance on others? A quantum leap, that, I think. Doubtless it will be back on a plate in 48 hours?

Not when Colchester beat us.
