northern boro 446 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 AK's presser at 1pm let's see if he still "does not want to know anything on the transfer front" Link to post Share on other sites
richmfc 41 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Jese wanted to go back to Spain (Gran Canaria) so his mother could hold his hand and tell him he was brilliant, because he'd failed to deliver in Paris, instead of joining a coach who he knows can get the best out of him, at an unfashionable club, putting himself in the shop window in the richest league in the world. Go figure! Not the clubs fault, I'm sure that whilst they had their fingers crossed it would come off they've been working on other targets. Very harsh. Just because a player doesn't want to join us doesn't mean people should pull a hissy fit at him Even though I would have loved him here I think his judgment was spot on. He has said he is out of form and hasn't played in a long while. He needs to get. Back his confidence and feels going to a harder league than the one he is in and to a country speaking a language he can't speak. For just 3 and a half months could be a mistake. Whereas going home to an easier league would help him I can't see how people wouldn't agree with that If he gets back to playing well he can consider a good move in the summer. And based on what he said it's probably a really risky move for us. What if he didn't get his form back for 12 games what good would that do us Link to post Share on other sites
Lurker 2,118 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Out of interest. Has PSG, le'equipe confirmed Jesé? The sky sports reporter at Rockcliffe pretty much did about an hour ago stating him as one of the 3 players that we have now missed out on with him opting to return to Spain this month. Sky know very very little when it comes to transfers. All they do is trawl the internet and then state it's 'sky sources' Obviously they will have a few contacts but not many at all.

What if he didn't get his form back for 12 games what good would that do us Whilst I understand, I guess it just seems like a backward step for the lad at his age and he could end up de-valuing himself. But I've certainly no bad feeling towards him - just frustrating that we invested alot of time and energy into this. Hopefully we were simultaneously looking at other options...

pikerman 1,089 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Are Hull just having a fire sale and have basically just given up on staying in the Premiership? Sounds to me like they are cashing in assets to either re-fill the current Chairman's bank account or boost their accounts prior to yet another attempt at a sell off. Either way it is good news for us as if they join the 'doomed' club with Sunderland then we only have one other rival to finish above. Perhaps we are back in for McGuire if it is a sell off and this rumour about not selling to relegation rivals is wrong. Link to post Share on other sites
Boro Badger 87 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 You could say there might not be much news for us today, as any deals we're working on now are most likely starting from scratch. As we haven't got our targets, I expect Ramirez to stay. I'm not sure if that will be a 'result' as he's clearly unhappy. Maybe we'll get lucky with a short term loan from a top club, with a player wanting game time. Or we'll get lucky with a quality player making the step up from abroad/lower division, willing to risk relegation and playing in the Championship next season. Other than that, it does look very difficult for us to recruit any real quality. Rivals won't sell to us and we're too risky a proposition for quality players to commit to long term. If we were mid-table play attractive football, it could be different, but that was a big ask in our fist season. I could even see Rhodes staying now we've missed out on targets, as he's a good contingency plan for relegation/new management. Sorry, this has got to be my bleakest post ever, but it really does feel like we've missed out on all our main targets and we're going to be short in crucial areas with players like Downing and Rhodes still on the wage bill that the manager doesn't rate.

He could have put himself in the shop window, I believe he will be going back to Spain to stay because he doesn't want to play/live anywhere else. Link to post Share on other sites
Birdie 83 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Hard to believe at the moment but there's sure to be a plan B, isn't there? Link to post Share on other sites
richmfc 41 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 No guys sorry have nothing concrete but assuming that latest news reports etc are valid then it stands to reason that we surely have to have cover for those players who seemingly are going within the next 24 or so hours. Actually I am still sticking with my earlier claims that I felt our business was done but indications are not supporting that stance anymore. Also I have only ever reported stuff I know 100% and am loathed to be tarred and feathered with a wind-up tag Bloody hell alan you change your mind like the wind. Come on pick a side of the fence. You know it makes sense :) Link to post Share on other sites
xathras 178 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Richest club in the league with financial fair play regulations. We can't just go and buy someone for 20 million and a load of wages to bag. Additionally, we always had issues bringing in players, even when we were top flight last time.

If he came here for three months and took two to acclimatise and get his form back then he would go back to psg with little credibility and no chance of getting a move on the same wages. But if he goes home and gets form back quickly he will be chased by teams all over the world Link to post Share on other sites
BearSmog 1,382 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Surely we can leave all the doom ***ering until after the deadline has passed? Yeah it doesn't appear to be going our way right now but that doesn't mean it won't.. Link to post Share on other sites
