There's always a weirdness surrounding us and Coady. First, the fact that Liverpool sold him to Huddersfield for less than we'd allegedly already bid (obviously some subterfuge there). Then the outlandish rumour that we'd bid for him this time last year, despite the fact he was the captain of a Premier League side.

Tufty confirmed that we had! I heard the interview.

Tom,Nick and Mick Fenoughty and Tom was a class act.

Never saw them play but know them both. Both lads are not in the best of health unfortunately.

 

[RegBlade]

Regarding Coady: To be fair they were only a Championship club at the time, albeit a filthy rich one. No issues with us aiming high even in this instance.

Apologies to Chris Wilder. I amend my statement to 'outlandish occurrence that we bid for Coady...[etc].'

Equally nuts, mind.

Is the definition of "subterfuge" the player choosing to join a club in a higher division ?

No.

I forget the exact figures, but the story at the time went that Liverpool knocked back a bid from us of, say, £750,000. Then later that Summer he went to Huddersfield for £500,000.

If we'd had a bid accepted, Liverpool wouldn't have then sold him for less. Similarly if they'd turned down our bid, accepting less from Hudderfield thereafter seems unlikely. If we were outbid, fine. If Huddersfield matched our bid, and Coady chose them over us as they were at a higher level, fine. But that's not what was reported at the time.

Either the bids were misreported at the time, or Liverpool fucked us over for...giggles? I dunno.

 

[bertieblade]

I understand that whatever the fees involved, he made it known that he did not want to play 1st division football and subsequently Liverpool were obliged to sell him to Huddersfield for whatever fee could be negotiated. In this instance the player was not prepared to be treated as a commodity.

 

[Guesty]

Liverpool being kicked out by Conor bleeding Coady is certainly fucking bizarre enough to qualify.

As I say, us and Coady have a weird transfer history.

Not trying to be a buzz kill for the older generation but this is a movement rumour thread. Can we try and keep it like that plz guys

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Who's the big name foreign star the Prince has ordered? Is it the next signing? Transfer record broken for a 5th time?

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Yes, Rather like a budgie with a sore throat, it was unlikely to succeed.

 

[10-0 win]

With McBurnie on board there could easily be late additions by next thursday, a goallie and maybe a mystery foreigner to please the prince

 

[Bladeinleeds]

If we stopped with mcburnie I think you’d count it as a superb window. We can go into the last week of the window relaxed while the rest of the league panic buy - what a great position to be in.

However, If we could add potentially one more right sided defensive versatile player and a centre mid. It would be just about perfect iMo

Still reckon wilder might fancy lenihan...

When I was in Dublin, a taxi driver was telling me he used to be part of the youth setup for the Irish national team. Young Sammon was one of the most naturally gifted footballers he'd ever seen until he started to grow and apparently lost control of his arms and legs. Personally I just thought he was shite.

Couldn’t let that post go without linking the old classic for our new members to have a look at. Legendary.

I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you so much.

If you were a centre half for the opposition and he came out not knowing who he was, you'd be thinking fucking hell. Tall muscular athletic.

Couldnt jump, easily knocked off the ball, and even bullied occasionally. I used to wonder if he was simply too nice.

I suspect he had some kind of palsy

Name them then. You clearly know what they are (or think you do).

What has Chris Morgan got to do with anything?

Ironically Chris Morgan is McBurnies agent

Last few days of the window, we need an update RC, don't be a stranger pal.

Not a good idea to ask RC for updates in the last few days of the window because a lot of deals easily get gazumped.

 

[SUFC Guy]

Think RC is on here most days (and probably has notifications enabled for this thread )
Just think that he doesn't sign in though.
