TAPOUT 361 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 1 minute ago, Borodane said: It still means that every other club in the world knows that our window closes on Thursday while they can still do business after that. The pressure is solely on the english clubs. Not so much Boro at the moment though, as we don't deal much with players abroad ? Don't say that Dane. I had my hopes pinned on Frey ?

Jamie-H 1,322 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I think he's saying we had all 3 bids rejected last week and launched a 4th bid today? If bid 3 was 2 million what was bid 4? Link to post Share on other sites

I'm pretty sure the 'improved bid' being referred to in that tweet is the one that has just been accepted. Would be comforting to have confirmation from an itk in here though.

I think he's just written the 2nd tweet really badly. He's following up the first one saying he'd heard we were making a 3rd bid. That's the one that's been accepted.

Tom 2,492 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I think all the bids have been around the £2m mark, but I guess they wanted more up front. My guess would be that we'll probably pay about £2.5, but over a couple of years. Link to post Share on other sites
LBP 3,035 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Wasn’t it just the add ons etc that we got stuck on, I thought we made an initial bid and they allowed him to come to rockcliffe for talks so surely the initial upfront fee is probably still the same and the improved bids from us is about add ons?

RiversideRed 1,216 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Does that mean we expect that deal to be done today or tomorrow? Wonder who the attacker was that Woodgate said we was hopeful of signing last week. Link to post Share on other sites

BoroJake 2,345 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Some Charlton fan on twitter seems to think Shotton is part of the deal. Probably BS, but just a rumour 1 Link to post Share on other sites
