SuperDerbySuperRams Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 On 09/07/2018 at 20:13, SuperDerbySuperRams said: Told this evening that he’s our number 1 striking target, Abraham is waiting for Prem and won’t happen. Three bids already turned down and believe it or not Posh representatives were at Moor Farm today. Harry Redknapp advised Frank to take a look at him and the coaching team have researched him relentlessly and liked what they saw. Posh want 6m, he hasn’t played in their opening two pre season games. See what happens this week I guess... It all stands up as similar to what I was told, but I haven’t heard anything at all since If he’s Lampard’s number 1 target, I see no reason why we won’t be back in. It’s worrying in a sense that there’s lots of interest, but hopefully we can make our move next week (cash pending?) and get it done. Their chairman clearly knows what he’s doing, he’s done it all before, let’s just hope we get the right deal for the club. 10 minutes ago, DcFc Dyycheee said: Full interview here (2:07) - Leeds are in for him then ? brilliant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexydadbod Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Sounds like West Brom are in for him too and have contacted his agent but can’t do anything until they have shifted Rondon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if what else he said is true and they're talking to Leeds tomorrow and are waiting for WBA to make a bid then we need to think about getting closer to their valuation.

Mckram Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 To be fair to their Chairman I think he speaks very well and knows exactly how to play clubs. They’ve made some very good money over the years selling players so you can’t really knock him for his approach - it’s just down to us to decide whether he’s worth the gamble at that price!

Rab a dab doo Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Up to now who ever Franks identified the club have seemed to be able to get. Mel's back from his hols if this guy is Franks prize signing is Mel going to get him for him. I think one way or another something will happen this coming week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say 40% for example, plus maybe a player where we subsidise the wages? We don't need stupid, we've made a fair offer ,more than reasonable considering he's unproven at a high level .£3 mill with ads ons seams considerable more than others are offering. How's about we put in a clause that they have to buy him back if he is a flop for said value? . Sure the player can see advantages of a move to Derby ,better facilities, coaching staff ,opportunity to increase profile , better wages. If he wants it to happen it will, Posh are being unrealistic and greedy. If he is as good as they think add On s and a % of any sell on fees above what we pay would be realistic.

mwram1973 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 He say's the figures being banded about are not true, just paper talk. He's asking for a fair price on a player that's in demand. I think our next bid will be accepted as he's told our people what he thinks is a reasonable fee and he won't budge, so no point going back if we wasn't going to pay up. Other clubs coming in now should hurry it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy that we look like we're doing business in a measured and studied manner something that if we had done with previous player transfers may have meant we wouldn't be in the financial mess we are in now.

Pearl Ram Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 And the club’s I’ve seen mentioned are ones you’d expect to be in the top 6 come April/May and I assume they’ve done their research on him too so while I know nothing about him myself I assume there’s more pluses than minuses about him.

DCFC1388 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Interesting that he confirmed Barry Fry came up to meet us over the deal, indicates to me that both psrties are quite serious. I do wonder if this was whilst Mel was away so we could see progress made now he is back. Maybe the fee will be really pushing the FFP limit so Mel has to have the final say on giving it the green light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalf's shin pads Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 If the WBA interest is serious I fear it will have to be a Herculean effort from Derby/Frank to get this one over the line. Hope I'm wrong though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope I'm wrong though... Why would he sign for a team with no hope of promotion. I love big Dave but the boing boing thing will be between the Championship and League 1.
