whitlock Posted 23 July 2012 Posted 23 July 2012 If he was to chose between and Forest I'm sure he use to play for them? Imagine he'd go there, especially now they have dollar.
Vlad the Fox Posted 23 July 2012 Posted 23 July 2012 I can confirm Zak Whitbread was my man, and he has signed a 2 year deal with Leicester, when the club will confirm this is a different matter all together. He is American by birth but he has a strong scouse accent, sorry for the terrible clues but I honestly couldn't tweet his name the other day, but since its public knowledge, I'll confirm it was ZW. I like the cryptic clues, keep them coming. Also, moving away from transfers for a moment, how is the Argentinian striker we had on trail and sent back before you signed him doing? I'm not looking to sven bash or anything just genuinely interested.

Toffee_Fox Posted 23 July 2012 Posted 23 July 2012 They wanted £5million for him, he puts in the effort and would run through a brick wall for the club, but once we bought Jelavic it just showed how much he lacked.
Vlad the Fox Posted 23 July 2012 Posted 23 July 2012 Cheers, i just wondered. i saw him come on and get a late winner on match of the day but never really heard much more of him. 5 mil is a lot when you see how good jelavic is for 6/7m?
Toffee_Fox Posted 23 July 2012 Posted 23 July 2012 We only paid £4.5million for Jelavic which has been cut to £3million due to Rangers problems the add ons got wiped as that club doesn't exist anymore.
Vlad the Fox Posted 23 July 2012 Posted 23 July 2012 I couldn't remember how much he went for but 3m is a bargain.
Petchy Posted 23 July 2012 Posted 23 July 2012 Damn, what could have been with Jelavic if they accepted our bid last year! He probably wouldn't have agreed to come, but still.

Toffee_Fox Posted 23 July 2012 Posted 23 July 2012 We got him a little cheaper than others would have due to them owing us £1.5million from us selling Michael Ball to them for £8million, no wonder they where in shit if they still owed transfer fees 7 years down the line.
Mark_w Posted 23 July 2012 Posted 23 July 2012 We only paid £4.5million for Jelavic which has been cut to £3million due to Rangers problems the add ons got wiped as that club doesn't exist anymore. Are you seriously telling me we paid more for Matt Mills than you paid for Jelavic? Think that shows just how crazy Sven got last year.
Toffee_Fox Posted 23 July 2012 Posted 23 July 2012 Different circumstances, Jelavic could have walked away for free this summer, so they had to sell. Reading had no reason to sell Mills.
Mark_w Posted 23 July 2012 Posted 23 July 2012 I know that, but still £5,000,000 for a player like Mills is insane, we could have signed better for a lot less money, I guess just seeing the fee you paid for him makes me think that we could have found a player like Matt Mills for a fraction of the cost given the right circumstances.
Vlad the Fox Posted 23 July 2012 Posted 23 July 2012 Did sven have a scouting network? or did he have trusted contacts who he could call upon regarding players? or was it a case of agents offering players and going from there?
wakeyfox01 Posted 23 July 2012 Posted 23 July 2012 I know that, but still £3,500,000 for a player like Mills is insane, we could have signed better for a lot less money, I guess just seeing the fee you paid for him makes me think that we could have found a player like Matt Mills for a fraction of the cost given the right circumstances.

I think Sven just went for players he'd worked with before - Mills, Johnson, Ball Vassell, Kasper & Mee from Man city, Konch & Nugent from England, and Sol from Ivory Coast.

Yep and they were very handy for his "sweety shop" transfer policy

You pay for his English passport. Same reason we got £25million for Joleon Lescott and £13million for AJ.
foxfanazer Posted 23 July 2012 Posted 23 July 2012 I'm certain we are "very interested" in signing Jenas. As we are in Ronaldo, Messi and Van Persie. None of which are actually happening though. Yeah cuz that's the same isn't it?
Mark_w Posted 23 July 2012 Posted 23 July 2012 Yeah cuz that's the same isn't it? Well in that none of them are going to join us, yes.
foxfanazer Posted 23 July 2012 Posted 23 July 2012 Well in that none of them are going to join us, yes. no it's not the same at all. Jenas could be a realistic loan target. Cristiano Ronaldo isn't
Ric Flair Posted 23 July 2012 Posted 23 July 2012 Go many fookin times, we didn't pay £5 million for Mills. It was £3 million. The rest was dependant on performance, achievements and a certain amount of games. He was crap, we were crap. So we paid no more than that. NEXT
Grey Fox Posted 23 July 2012 Posted 23 July 2012 We only paid £4.5million for Jelavic which has been cut to £3million due to Rangers problems the add ons got wiped as that club doesn't exist anymore. Rangers should have took our much higher offer when they had the chance!
