Re: Amond / Argyle after Amond / Transfer Speculation
46There's a fan on Brizzle Rovers' Gasheads forum seems to think they're after Padraig after being priced out of a move for Christian Doidge.
Why would it see us relegated? The figures I have seen banded about for our players is 200k for day, 500k for Mickey D and 300k for amond. Are you saying we couldn’t replace all three and improve the side by day spending 200k of It when you consider we probably spend 60k on transfer fees for the 3 of them?George Street-Bridge wrote:Here's a wild hypothetical for forum users who think we should be be looking to move away from Rodney Parade. And I stress it's entirely that. I'm not in any loop, I'm beyond bored stiff with boardroom infighting and I'm not even guessing what's going on in the background.
If we could raise enough money this window to get started on our own ground by selling our best players, but it would be overwhelmingly likely to see us relegated, would you say go for it?
No-one believes those players are not replaceable, it's that we might not find the right replacements, there's no way you can guarantee we would sign three better players for £200k.Bush wrote:Why would it see us relegated?

I’d argue spending 200k on the side and 800k on improvements at spytty for a possible future movement there would improve the club on and off the pitch.
Although I don’t believe those figures for a second and I also understand it’s not as simple as that when you consider all the other fees and wages when it comes to transfers I still don’t understand why anyone would think these players are not replaceable. I’m a huge fan of all three but if we raised enough money to take care of our future stadium plans and give the manager another 200k to his playing budget then I will drive all 3 to where they need to be.
I’m not saying we randomly start making improvements there without the council’s help but I think it’s definitely worth working a deal with the council where maybe the academy play there for next few years and alongside the council we make improvements ready for when we have to leave Rodney parade. Otherwise we can wait till the deal with Rodney parade is up then have the possibility of leaving the city or moving into a spytty not capable of hosting league two football.OLDCROMWELLIAN wrote:This is probably going off thread. but even if we had money to improve spytty, isn't it a presumption we would be given permission to do so?

If put together the total transfers of every player we have bought since we got promoted back into the football league it wouldn’t be 200k. Yes I’m confident with 200k we could make some very good signings for the club.daftasfxxx wrote:If you are confident of getting better players for 200k then you must be better than the managers apparently chasing our three
Exactly. Something has to be planned for. We've got some half decent players who could walk for free in 12 months time, and a lease on a ground that the landlords don't won't us at, which runs out in 4 years.Bush wrote: I’m not saying we randomly start making improvements there without the council’s help but I think it’s definitely worth working a deal with the council where maybe the academy play there for next few years and alongside the council we make improvements ready for when we have to leave Rodney parade.

Every player we have paid money for has been a success pretty much. From amond, day, Washington and even to jolley.Fourthousand wrote:Bush wrote:If put together the total transfers of every player we have bought since we got promoted back into the football league it wouldn’t be 200k.

So everyone works out to be a good 'un; they all hit the ground running; settle in: none get homesick: all get on with the manager and not one downs tools; not one will unsettle the dressing room; none are injury prone nor have personal problems that need them to take a leave of absence; all are match fit, none get in trouble outside of football etc - We've had to 'mine' loads and have got through alot of chaff to find these few 'diamonds'.
