We need more than one new striker. I imagine similar to Howard when he joined us Link to post Share on other sites

Especially if this type of player is key to the way we play then we really need a back up in a similar mold as well. Especially as out luck with injuries, illness and stabbings is not good 😂 Edited November 28, 2020 by RammingStone66 More information Link to post Share on other sites

RammingStone66 73 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Do we know if we are even still in for him. I'mguessing he will hold out to see what offers he gets, if his season continues going well there is no guarantee we could afford him or he may choose a club in a better position than us. I remember people saying we were going to sign him a few days after the deadline but that never happened Link to post Share on other sites

That’s strange seeing as how we don’t even know who the new manager will be and if it’s his type off player! I’d much prefer the manager having an input into potential signings.

This is why the club needs to pull it's finger out, get the takeover concluded , and appoint the new manager, if it's not going to be Wayne. nogbad van 50 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Of course this was the chance with Brexit but you'd have thought that a player worthy of a salary of say 300-500k in the country hes coming to would be deemed good enough to earn the right to work here. I wonder what the rules will be for British people going abroad. Link to post Share on other sites

maydrakin 1,017 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Looking at the post brexit criteria, I don’t think he’ll acquire enough points. Bundesliga2 will give a maximum of 12 points if he plays 90-100% of matches in the last year. As he’ll need 15, it will mean he needs to play in a European cup competition or get international caps.

Wow that's depressing isn't it. We finally start looking abroad, just as the rules tighten and being able to bring in foreign talent gets harder for clubs without many millions at its disposal. Those with the money can buy the guys with international caps. Just seems to protect the Prem clubs even more lol Jourdan 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Assuming the contract (pre-contractual agreement) was signed before the restrictions, maybe it is another cunning loophole Mel has found to wind up Gibson further?!
