The statement is clearly a rallying call for a bidding war, why else would he list all of the other clubs.
Quite odd for a chairman to publicly do that, I guess they actually need some money today.8 -
Sandgaard has already confirmed that money is going to have to go towards the losses he's making what with COVID and the state of the clubPelling1993 said:Not maybe the most sensible business decision but at least we would know that the extra £100-200k or whatever it is would massively help out a national league outfit in the current climate. I know we are not a charity but that sort of money is peanuts to TS especially with the Bonne & Grant money. if the gamble doesn't work its not exactly a costly one!
Which is fair enough to be honest... At least we're getting transparency over that1 -

I think Smyth will be the Striker... Unless your talking about Thomas here?Scoham said:
Because a few articles call him a forward rather than a winger so some look at the stats and decide he’s an inexperienced striker who doesn’t score goals.Leuth said:I said this before but I'll say it again: why such resistance to Smyth? He's young, quick, hasn't found his feet yet, but according to people who know better than us has the ability to break through. He'd supplement our other forwards and we wouldn't necessarily depend on him. I know we only have room for 1 or 2 more players, but given a choice between him and Sorba Thomas, surely the one with league experience is preferable for a promotion push? Or we sign both!
There will be a social media meltdown if he signs before the striker is announced.I’m talking about Smyth.

I often find I write out a post, read it, think it's fine. I then click away into a new thread and then a thought comes back that I hadn't had whilst typing it out...
It happens a lot in the morning!1 -
Fun and games aplenty.0

I think the business we have done up to this point has been superb but I'm really struggling to get excited about Smyth if he is the striker, we need a goal scorer!7

Wait... He's a Winger? - Why didnt you say so!!!!Scoham said:ForeverAddickted said:

100% in agreement. Part of me was hoping the departures of Lapslie and Oztumer meant we were preparing a decent bid for one. If it's Smyth I can't see us finishing anywhere near the top 6.Pelling1993 said:I think the business we have done up to this point has been superb but I'm really struggling to get excited about Smyth if he is the striker, we need a goal scorer!1 -
The Boreham Wood statement goes on a bit and, as well as pushing is us to increase our bid and sending a message to the player and his agent, it is probably also designed to encourage offers from any of the other clubs referred to.
Hopefully a deal can be done, although perhaps the loan signing of the QPR winger means that it’s off.0 -
Sounds like a bit of a heads up from Boreham in that interview
of get your finger out Charlton, plenty of other clubs fishing
around, and would just be our luck should we miss out on what
seems to be a bit of a talent for the sake of an increase.
Fair play to them, they sound like a well run club0 - Sponsored links:

Quite possibly so but at least he has had the balls to put it in "black and white" and not it to a press contact. Why would you do that unless you wanted to unsettle the player? I haven't seen any of the other mentioned clubs' media links announcing that they were interested in the player but, possibly, it is out there?robroy said:The statement is clearly a rallying call for a bidding war, why else would he list all of the other clubs.

I'm with you on this, we need goals in the team, we didn't score enough last season to achieve our aim, and won't score enough this season, with Smiffy in the side, i'm fully prepared for a big slice of humble pie , if this fella signs and scores a hatful, probably better to sign someone where our expectations are low, rather than a Hemed who we thought was going to be a star.Pelling1993 said:I think the business we have done up to this point has been superb but I'm really struggling to get excited about Smyth if he is the striker, we need a goal scorer!0 -
Mendonca In Asdas said:Does anyone know how much we offered BW for this winger fella?
No.
The most telling part of the statement:
"the Club can now publicly state, that Charlton have in fact made a bid but their kind offer falls a bit short of the Club’s valuation of the player, which they were made very aware of that before making their offer in writing."
That is not "messing Charlton about" but trying not to be mugged off like Charlton were with Gomez, and the double whammy of Walsh and Elliott to Luton.
If they are only a bit short then this really should get sorted.

Fair play to Boreham Wood. I hope we pay what they are asking for.10
-
Worth mentioning I think that if we haven't agreed a price with Boreham Wood and haven't started negotiations with the Sorba I find it hard to believe we'll get this done today.1
-
Hope we haven’t told him not to play and that it’s his agent. Dogshit behaviour.4

Rumour on Twitter that they want over £500,000.Could be nonsense but that’s ridiculous if true.5

So Smyth, Boreham Wood fella and Brentford fella the 3??? (Just based on rumours to date)2
-
You sound certain about this. But I’m just gonna say I’ve seen him play once, Sunderland V Accrington it was 2-2 on sky the season we got promoted and he played up front as a number 9. He scored and was a menace the entire game.Scoham said:ForeverAddickted said:

Quite surprised by this one but Sheffield Wednesday have signed Jack Marriott on loan from Derby
I know I suggested him on the Striker thread but didnt even see him leaving Derby - Shame he's gone to the cheats0 -
Of course I don't know that but I would imagine Amos has made considerable amounts of money already. If I remember correctly he was on a silly contract at Bolton.ForeverAddickted said:
But then did Amos stay because of the difficulties players are having with finding new clubs thanks to COVID and this salary cap?Cafc43v3r said:
I am pretty sure Amos wouldn't have signed if he knew Phillips would be here. If they are both still here tonight, one of them is going to be royally pissed off and, on balance, that deserves to be Phillips.Clarky said:
Phillips is a very good shot stopper but his kicking severely lets him down. Also not great at commanding his area and punches/flaps a little too much for my liking. Is he better than Amos, possilbly but not enough for him and his agent to be dicking around.southamptonaddick said:
Or maybe he's not as good as a lot of people on here (and his agent) think.king addick said:Looks like to me that Phillips has had some bad guidance by his agent.
There plan seems to have backfired and left Dil in limbo!
Phillips obviously hasn't.1 -

Because of the amount of low scoring wingers and strikers around it would be better if we said goal scorers !
And a 15 to 18 goalscorer from now is what we need to be a top 6 contender.1 -
Surely we should come up with a deal with a bit up front, rest based on appearances, future sell on, if he's really that good, then they'll get what they are looking for?0
