Asked if that means the deal is off and was informed that he's got another offer on the table and he wants to speak to them before deciding. Why can't we close out deals when players visit rockcliffe? Free agents are also turning us down, it's starting to become a little ridiculous Because he has other offers. You just said so! If you had two job offers on hand would you reject one of them out of hand or give them both a chance before deciding? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Should not be even thinking of looking at other options they should be telling their agent I'm signing for the Boro. So definitely is something going wrong at rockliffe. Why should they? They'd be bloody daft if they weren't considering other options with the amount of money in the game. Link to post Share on other sites
velocitractor 64 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Free agent weighing up his offers before signing for someone? Absolutely mental. This club is useless. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Imagine a world where employees look at various job offers on the table. We need to tell other clubs not to bid for the same players and to make sure we get the player we need to hold a gun to his head. We have a divine right to get the players over other clubs.

DurhamRed 2,043 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) We need to be giving them more of a experience when they come I think. Get them to have a go on golf course 😂. Take them on a tour of local area or something. Show them what it will be like living here day to day sort of thing. Link to post Share on other sites

It’s hardly surprising that his agent has tried hard to get other offers for his client and has probably informed every championship club that Stewart has an offer on the table so if they want him they need to act fast. And then one club has taken the bait. He would be a poor agent if he didn’t try hard to get multiple offers. We probably did try to push him by bidding for Williams. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm criticising the club for continuously failing to sign players, not the players for not signing. They've been shocking at it for years. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah it's annoying but if he was up here and his agent got another offer, I'd go hear them out as well. Link to post Share on other sites

Bristol City, Cardiff and QPR are a bigger pull than us for goodness sake. Link to post Share on other sites

That's the issue for me. We've publicly tried and failed to convince 3 players in this window now (ignoring the fact Stewart may still sign), and then failing to meet a fairly low valuation for Goode. Warnock has visibly revised his transfer targets in each interview. It's went from 7-8 to 4 players that he wants in. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
