Leicester Ram Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Football Agent/Fan @itk_dcfc2m New bid has been made for Russell. Will try and find proposed fee #dcfc Funny how he mentions it just after its reported by Nixon, what a tool I guess he'll be ringing up his contacts then *stalking Nicholsons twitter until he tweets something basically* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DcFc Dyycheee Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 He might see Russell's agent in Westfield again, he'll be able to ask him what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randombc Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 £750,000 up front is a lot of money for a person with a year left on his contract, never mind with extras on top - that could push it to near a £1 million. If we're struggling to get him for under a million i'd consider walking away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbydave96 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 If we don't think he's worth 1 million why are we trying to sign him!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornwallRam Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 So an unproven player from Scotland is our top target? Quite funny considering all Sam Rush mentioned at the forums was us bringing experienced players at this level to the club It is virtually impossible for a Championship club to sign/buy a quality proven striker with a good goal-scoring record at Championship level. The real proven ones go to Premier League clubs or to Glasgow for guaranteed European football. At present Austin is probably the most gettable, but we'd have to fork out over £5m and break our wage budget to bits. I'm not saying that this would necessarily be a bad thing, but it is easy to understand why owners would baulk at such a move. Championship clubs tend to scrap over the top lower league, Scottish (outside Old Firm) and Irish strikers, with the odd 'proven but injury prone' Championship level striker thrown in. It is my opinion that the best we can hope for are Russell, Grigg, Pope or Madden. I'm hoping that we don't attempt to rehabilitate a crock such as Vaughan or Waghorn.

inter politics Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 The good thing for us potentially is whilst other clubs are peeing about deciding what players are going and what players they need, Dundee United have some financial issues so may need some cash sharpish and a quick sell.

Ambitious Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Good sign then? Yeah, I am in no doubts he is telling the truth - and no doubt will notify us (the public) if it gets accepted or declined. I would say at the minute, it's news... I don't think Dundee will be willing to bite our arm off with the offer - but for them not to throw it back in our faces already, then - I think we're about there.

Good I'm getting so excited. We need a player like him who's just going to have a shot from the edge of the box and more than likely score! I would say at the minute, it's news... I don't think Dundee will be willing to bite our arm off with the offer - but for them not to throw it back in our faces already, then - I think we're about there.
