Sexydadbod Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 They are but the last couple of days I've had trouble accessing the main forum page, the button at the bottom simply won't work . If anyone can quote SDSR's exact words that'd be much appreciated. "This one isn't far away from being done I think. Fairly substantial fee, needs to be ironed out. Personal terms agreed. All the noises out the club suggest this. I'd be shocked if he's not in for Leeds." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how we can have agreed terms and he still play today with the risk of suspension/injury (And he did actually go off with an injury according to a Huddersfield fan I speak to) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how we can have agreed terms and he still play today with the risk of suspension/injury (And he did actually go off with an injury according to a Huddersfield fan I speak to) Based on Shackell and Dyche's comments post his signing, terms were agreed weeks before he signed. That's the way football is done these days. It obviously isn't contractual, and it will be a verbal agreement with the agent, but Rush, Evans and his party will be on the same page. No actual commitment means injury isn't really an issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerTedd Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I think with Dyche, it's a case of do as I say, not as I do! To think, he was actually touted as a replacement for Schteve McClaren at one point!Well he did have Burnley flying at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsRam Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Seems a lot of clubs are getting a bit fed up of us? sour grapes? or are we going about it wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 My guess, and it is purely a guess, is that we're playing silly ******** behind the scenes because we know we're an attractive proposition.On the surface, I think we run things the right way. However, I think we also know what buttons to press in order to give us a better chance at pulling off a deal. I don't get the whole idea that bidding for a player 24 hours before a game is unprofessional, though. I mean, when else are we meant to bid for them now? Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday...

ossieram Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 The chances are that Sam is contacting the club and putting in a bid and at the same time contacting the players agent to ask what kind of wage the player would be looking for. If the agent then asks the player what he would like and tells Sam, who then says that he is willing to pay what the player wants, is that classed as tapping up a player or just a conversation between our club and an agent?

Gandalf's shin pads Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Didn't Rush used to own/run an agents firm or something along those lines? He will be well connected and know exactly how to go about the business of getting a targeted player away from a club. Probably a large part of why we have had such success getting good players in since his arrival... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
