BOB BIGGS Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Who would it be, realistically!? Mine would be billy sharp It's a fair question but you won't get too many sensible answers because it's so difficult. £2m max even if the Board were feeling generous? Who wouldn't be a risk for that kind of money? Perhaps that's the new question when we've done with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Yeh because he wanted to sign that **** cf Gary Hooper but we got outbid. I would not allow Clough to sign any striker in. I'm afraid there are still a lot of useless strikers in Ireland and Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sage Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 A) did I say we had, b) how do you know we didn't The fact is NC wanted to sign him and we couldn't afford him. However feel free to carry on being a pedant. We have never made a bid for Gary Hooper. Easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramblur Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 We have never made a bid for Gary Hooper. Easy. Must admit that if Clough had faced a 'dilemma' over what to do with his limited funds,and eventually opted to sign Brayford/Bailey etc,I always struggled to see where the funds for a Hooper bid had come from all of a sudden,especially as Clough himself said they wouldn't be bidding because of the number of strikers they had on the books,and their inability to shift same at the time.

Guest Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 A) did I say we had, B) how do you know we didn't The fact is NC wanted to sign him and we couldn't afford him. However feel free to carry on being a pedant. But if we got outbid ? Anyway did we get outbid or was he out of our valuation:- "We would love Hooper, but the deal has to be right," Clough said this week. "He has proved himself in the last two seasons, but I don't think it would be right to go back on the principles we have laid down in the last 18 months. "If it is a good deal fee-wise and contract-wise then, yes, we would certainly be interested. But if they are going above our valuation of him, then we will walk away and move onto the next target." However even I admit that this is Clough bashing for the sake of it, we never had the funds for a 2.5m striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midtableforever Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I've no link,but I seem to remember Clough saying he was a player we liked. Yes we liked him but 1-1,5m "was not the right deal". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramblur Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Yes we liked him but 1-1,5m "was not the right deal". Which might be interpreted as 'rather more cash than we had'.Got the fans excited for a while though.A bit like "Judge us by our actions". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bourneyesterday Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 It depends which division we find ourselves in because that would dictate who would come. Anyway, Charlie Austin is good for the level we are at presently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
