Tudders80 674 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 That's exactly my point, BB84. The money isn't there, it's coming straight from Gibson. If we buy Vossen this season, I'm fairly confident in saying that it in terms of the money Gibbo puts forward this term. Regardless - when Bamford comes, I think that puts an end to the Vossen talk. Mourinho and Bamford wouldn't have agreed to the deal unles Bamford was going to be a regular starter - and if we brought in Vossen, there'd be no space for Bamford in that respect. Maybe that's why the bamford deal is been held up. ;) The Bamford deal will be done today. Link to post Share on other sites
Prowler 197 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Again, I think we should just go and sign Luke James. Looked really good in League 2 and has had a couple of seasons looking decent in a rather bad side in League 1 and he's only 19! He can play attacking midfield or up top and wouldn't cost the Earth if we sweeten the deal with a loan of either Williams or Fewster. That and he wouldn't even have to move house! :P Link to post Share on other sites

Snowblind 1,711 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I'd be happy to bring in Luke James. Has the potential to do a Lambert, so could be a shrewd bit of business. Link to post Share on other sites

London_born_Boro_bred 29 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Or the potential to do a Main :s Link to post Share on other sites
Snowblind 1,711 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 KM - Don't forget how good Posh are at unearthing young talent and selling them on for multi millions... Assombalonga? Gayle? :) Link to post Share on other sites

Danny Graham? :P Link to post Share on other sites
Snowblind 1,711 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Or the potential to do a Main :s Main is a completely different kettle of fish... Probably Blob Fish. He was released by Darlo because of a lack of effort and bad attitude. James has worked hard for Pools. Link to post Share on other sites
Tudders80 674 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Newcastle, Sunderland, Leeds and Fulham have all been rumoured to have had him scouted. Hartlepool fans adore the guy. They really rate him to go all the way to the top Link to post Share on other sites

Gayle? :) You make a good point but can we really afford to take a risk if we are chasing promotion? He'd almost certainly need time to settle in, we need players who will hit the ground running like Kike has Link to post Share on other sites
Snowblind 1,711 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 £1m? Not sure I'd pay £1m for James - unless a decent chunk of it was performance / promotion based. I'd be happy with Graham, but Prowlers involved in this conversation! :p Link to post Share on other sites

Must have hit their limit Link to post Share on other sites
