Cam the Ram Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 5 minutes ago, Bris Vegas said: There appears to be a deal in place for Vydra. Selling him is our only option if we plan to buy this summer. I’m personally happy about this deal. I rate the player. Weimann out, Jozefzoon in for a total net spend of say £750,000 plus less wages is a darn good deal. I expect us to sell Vydra, but I personally don't think there is a deal in place as of right now. I simply think the signings we've made are covered by Weimann's sale, the supposed Ince funds we received for Huddersfield staying up, Rowett's compensation and the wages freed up with Baird, Bent and Shackell going. I've not seen anything of Jozefzoon myself other than the games against us and I'll be honest, I can't recall him doing much in either, but he contributed to more goals than any of our wingers last season so he can't be too bad. After Russell's departure we had a real lack of options on the wings last season, so I'm all for having 4 or 5 people competing with each other for the starting spots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mate of mine went to his (large) Company's annual Christmas dinner. Monkhouse was the guest speaker, and mingled with the guests beforehand, teasing out snippets of information about other guests in an apparently casual manner. A couple of hours later, with no written notes, he had them in stitches recounting loads of anecdotes about individual members. My mate was not the easily impressed guy, and had no particular affection for BM, but this really did impress him. Off topic, a usual. Can definitely confirm this - I went to an event back in the eighties where Bob Monkhouse was the after dinner speaker. Wasn't expecting the fantastically funny 40 minutes or so that he did and he built in some really good personal stuff - a true professional. E.g. Talking about local dialects ' I haven't really got an accent although most of my colleagues think I'm a Man of Kent - at least I think that's what they're saying as I walk out of their office'...

Regarding Vydra there is not much the club can do about it if he decides he is better off with us. We can't force him to sign a contract he doesn't want to sign somewhere else just so we can cash in. If Lampard is speaking truthfully when he says Vydra is part of his plans if he stays then Matej may just decide he fancies another 12 months in a Derby shirt.

inter politics Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 If reports are true, not a big fan of dishing out four year deals for fairly unproven 27 year olds but perhaps easier in terms of meeting FFP requirements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRam Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 My brains a bit frazzled but does the logic stand that offering longer contracts makes a lower wage more amenable? I thought it to myself a while ago but I can't for the life of me deconstruct the circumstance. Long day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaRam Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Well Lawrence is our only wide player on a full time contract that’s played at this level. Wilson is in loan and Thomas and Bennett are unproven so signing Jozefzoon is needed. £2.5-£3.0 mil is peanuts really and not much of a gamble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
