DCFC1388 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 39 minutes ago, Millenniumram said: I’ve been told the EFL are trying to block this deal Dont see how they can when they had already approved enough for a striker on deadline day. Only way it wouldnt be accepted is if its out of our original budget. Im sure Warne mentioned about working with the EFL to agree it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamLad1884 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Reportedly on 35k a week at Stoke. Presumably his wage (even if reduced) is still going to make him the top earner at the club hence it running by the EFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 23 minutes ago, Dean (hick) Saunders said: The CEO said we had wages/funding for a striker on deadline day so it’s hard to see how it would not be outside of budget. Grounds to block it would need to be something else. (Wrong pen colour used on the form?) Too big a name, is what I’ve been told. Genuinely 😂 There’s definitely no agenda though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warne says we are 'working with the EFL'... which means we are having to run things by them, explain, beg.. depends on your perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the EFL expect us to play a third of a season with only one, or no fit strikers then I guess that tells its own story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S8TY Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Lets hope we can get this over the line...If it is blocked by the EFL it would not surprise me and would say a lot ! I think Gayle will be a hit here and will score vital goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably his wage (even if reduced) is still going to make him the top earner at the club hence it running by the EFL Whatever he was on at Stoke is now irrelevant. He's 34, probably has little or no chance of ever playing again at a higher level than League One and unless he's thick, must realise big paydays are now behind him. If he wants to continue playing at a decent level, he has to tailor his demands to the financial ability of those clubs who show an interest to pay him. From what I've seen of him he's not a hold-up striker, more a goal poacher- maybe not ideally suited to our style of play but we are so short in the striking department that he'll at least give us an alternative option. So sad for Collins. angieram, SKRam, norwichram and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean (hick) Saunders Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Was linked to Port Vale. They would not have been paying much wages. If he did want to play In Championship again his best chance will be to help push us over the line and earn a contract for next season.

Eddie Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 5 hours ago, MackworthRamIsGod said: I'm confused. I thought we were free to operate without restrictions? Also, if we can't sign Gayle how ok earth would we have been able to sign Michael Smith? Not until the end of this season. Every single transaction has to operate within the agreed 'business plan', apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
