RiversideRed 1,216 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Browne's was revealed as a four-year contract. Bola's wasn't mentioned anywhere I don't think but I'd guess probably a three year contract. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LinoJo3 3,191 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I’m sure I seen somewhere that Bolas was a 2 year contract. Link to post Share on other sites

"were not in it to survive - we're going to give it a right good go"? Aye, apparently Karanka wanted different targets but instead had Gestede and Bamford handed to him. That season baffles me completely, we got rid of 3 perfectly good strikers and replaced them with worse (barring Negredo) 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I think the Gazette mentioned both contract lengths, but find it strange that there is no "official" confirmation. I know Arsenal would never reveal contract lengths under Wenger, but they would do it for every transfer. We seem to have done it for Bola and Browne, but not Meijas and Dijksteel.

TeaCider24 12,639 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Not sure if there's truth to it, but a few FMTTM posters seem to think we're offering a deal to Callum Roberts, a 22 year old winger from South Shields who was released by Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites

Maccarone 265 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Just on a side note, going back to the appointment of Woodgate, all the talk about the 'interview' process, the ex Fulham Manager etc., if we are as 'skint' as we seem to be was this actual fact or fiction? Why would we even go down that route in the knowledge we couldn't deliver the transfer budget necessary? was it simply a PR exercise to appease the fans? Link to post Share on other sites

I think fiction because I believe Gibson wanted Pulis as his first choice. Everything else has followed on from his failure to convince him to stay on. Link to post Share on other sites
