Annoying, as you’re at least getting a rumour. whether they come off or not is neither here nor there. Prefer a rumour that doesn’t happen to no rumour at all . At least something to keep us interested
sounds like the striker wouldn't take a large pay cut and they are looking elsewhere.
Shame, I had hoped he’d be a good player. Think he should take the contract personally, in today’s market.
Be interesting if the player comes back to us. Be interested to know how any player that isn't earning is taking a pay cut? £2k a week is better then £0k a week.

Are we still looking for a striker, or are we now looking at a player in a different area of the pitch which would match up with Bowyers earlier comments?

Yeah spot on. For example, up until January alone there roughly 10 weeks so that’s 20k to be made rather than holding out for the 7k per week.

Defies logic in my mind too! Some footballers really are a special breed!

What might make Enobakhare different though is him cancelling a contract twice before. Pretty brave of a young player who hasn't had much game time. He's either very sure of his ability/ agent. Or maybe doesn't see football as too big a deal in life?
Taking into account Covid and the fact he probs won’t get a champ move, it’s pretty risky turning down offers plus we would put him in the shop window if he did well!!
Sounds like we’ve moved on if Bowyer has said we are looking at another position.
Any player refusing to sign due to having to take a pay cut need to wake up and smell the coffee, this is the way it is at the moment if you want to play the game. Whereas they managed to get a contract previously by whatever means available before, now in a totally different environment they will not get because the game is in a difficult phase, and clubs are working under strict rules, and can't offer the same anymore. So, do you want to play or not, let's hope we get the right players in with the right mindset

I agree, and before anyone feels sorry for some of the footballers for having to accept pay cuts or not play, I think we can all think about the people up and down the country being made redundant at the minute first.

Don't get to despondent, depressed or upset Redhenry. You've been posting on here long enough to know the score. Chinese whispers. Someone see's Lionel Messi on the platform at London Bridge and the next thing is he's signing for us. Then someone hates him and would prefer Harry Kane etc,etc. Its all a symptom of enduring years of bad, sad news. I remember many, many years ago seeing a little bloke on Charing cross station who looked like the European footballer of the year, I think his name was Allan Simmo or some thing like that. Nobody believed me of course, why would they? I digress. Instead of grasping at straws, we're suddenly faced with options. I'm sure L.B. and S.G. are getting regular contacts from agents desperate to find clubs for their out of work footballers. They could be strikers, midfielders, defenders or even goalkeepers. Some may even be worthy of signing if they add to the squad and within our pay structure. Lots of out of contract footballers out there and more will soon be joining the queue. So cheer up mate and enjoy the ride.

Does smelling coffee help with a pay cut, a bit like glue?

Dunno, but it may help them to Fu*king wake up to reality
Given how late in the window we had to do our business and with the handicap of the wage cap, I don't believe it was ever remotely possible to sign a 20 goal a season striker. Seeing as fairly often there are no 20 goal strikers in league one (there was only one last year), and with the other constraints it's totally unrealistic to expect us to find one, and bemoaning the lack one of want smacks of looking for something to moan about. Might as well go complain that you didn't win the lottery this week and the unicorn you requested to come shit gold on your lawn never arrived.
If only one 20 goal scorer in league 1 last year no club that hot promoted then had a 20 goal plus scorer. This year Cambridge have one on 10 already. His best ever before was 7 or 8 in a year. So spotting them isn't that easy .
That is pretty much the only way of getting a 20+ goal a season striker in League One, taking a punt on somebody who has never achieved it before and hoping you get lucky. Taylor got 22 in 44 league games for us. He had never scored more than 14 league goals in a season at league one or higher level before that.
If someone can score 14 goals for a poor AFC Wimbledon side - in L1 they're not a Peterborough who scores lots of goals, they're strugglers - and had shown that he wasn't a one season wonder - 20 in 42 in L2, 10 in 43 and 14 in 46 in L1 in his previous 3 seasons - it wasn't unreasonable that given better service and better players around him, he'd score more goals. That's what happened with Clive Mendonca when he moved from Grimsby to us
Nothing is guaranteed, but it was more than a punt

Yeah I know derailing the thread but hey ho, didn't want to give out a dud statement earlier.

The vast majority enjoy your posts and that table thing Dazzler did was supposed to be funny.
