  • £300k development fee for Aribo? Our idiot owner is failing on every front.
          Mad if true. Not the fee but the club. Like Grant he is just chasing the shekel. Wont help his career  - League 1 is better than playing in the Scottish Premiership.
  • Lots of rumour on the Rangers end re: Aribo today.

    300k development fee is because he’d be moving out of country. More likely in the £2-3m range if he moved within country which I suspect has taken some clubs out of the running.

    Rangers would be getting an absolute steal at that price. Thanks Roland...

    The way Roland sees it, is allows him to cover losses for one more week of the year.

    His losses would be less in L1 due to lower wages. He knows that and it’s all he cares about. He is not an owner, but a parasite.
    This isn’t necessarily true. It obviously depends how much you spend in the Championship, but running the same operating loss as L1 would give Bowyer a chance to stay up because of the central income and increased ticket revenue. 

    Try to use that money to break even in the Championship and you will go down and lose the central income and ticket revenue again, opening the operating loss back up. Plus the value of the club falls in L1. It’s lose-lose for RD.
  • I know this is a scary thought, but given we know now he has no intention or re-signing our top players and is offering £2500/week to possible League One transfers.... are we just ignoring the possibility he might actually go one step further and sell Taylor and maybe even Phillips? I know that means last place in 2019/20 but perhaps Roland’s attitude is... if we are going down anyway, why not cash out... everything? I don’t put this past him and something tells me we are not considering he could do even worse things than he currently is doing.
    I think if Bow doesn't stay and Roland gives us no chance Taylor will be looking to leave anyway.

    I tend to agree. He could do a lot better. 
  • £300k for Aribo. Fucking joke.

    It wouldn't be going back into the club so who actually cares apart from Roland

    Exactly, it might as well be 3p.

    Me.

    Money in football needs to filter down if we are to retain a vibrant viable league system. Big clubs have got to pay sensible fees and decent compensation for youth players.

    Clubs like Rangers should be ashamed of themselves.

    Isn’t the reason most change jobs better pay? Of course you’d say no if Sainsbury’s offered to treble your salary but you had to work on the checkout.
  • Should we be ashamed at picking up an out of contract Lyle Taylor for nothing, previously at little AFC Wimbledon ?
    Ok, he wasn't 22, but it's a similar principle.
    Good point it's dog eat dog and really that is why its good have a savvy owner who offers players contracts in advance to make sure , we never get this position in the first place 🤷‍♂️
  • Hope so, sounds too clever for Roland to get a player on the cheap

    I think u are digging me out. You accuse without evidence!
    Well I'm not. The way I see it is if I was out drinking with a load of Charlton fans and you were there and said what you had said here I would question it like I have and that would be it. Haven't got a magnifying glass looking at your posts. I've seen you post a few times and it always seems vague and not to the point and I've challenged it. 

    I am also not blaming the middle man here, I do think you have been told wrong. We will see in the coming month but if what you have heard is true, we will quite literally have a non league/league2 side just with quality players like Naby, Taylor, Phillips etc.
  • Bonne looks really good in those videos.
    I'll be ashamed if we take him from Orient for £200K :wink:

  • Not going to reply to everyone who has quoted me cause it's a transfer rumour thread and I've gone way too off topic as it is.

    Basically it's a forum for discussion, all I'm doing is questioning how valid his sources are. That's that 
  • Could be what we're missing. The kind of player that could support and compete with Lyle..

    Big step up for the lad though ? 
  • There is absolutely nothing wrong with snapping players up on a free. If we didn't have a rubbish owner it wouldn't happen to us. I don't begrudge any club doing it to us cause it's exactly what I want us to do this window.

    Right now on Orient Life someone is calling him a snake 🐍 and another is saying he’s ruining his career as he won’t play regularly in the Championship 😉

    Gallen talked about signing three strikers, so if that happens (I have doubts if Roland's still here) he'd be one of four competing for a place. You'd think at least one of the other two would be a more experienced player.
  • Big step up for the lad though ? 
    Not one that players haven't made before.
  • Quick search of Google suggests TalkSport were the first to link him with us back in May.
