City Fan Posted 30 August 2005 Author Share Posted 30 August 2005 Todays Mirror: "Wigan are trying to sign Leicester striker David Connolly but will have to pay £3.5m" I would definitely take that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted 30 August 2005 Share Posted 30 August 2005 Another with the same words. You would think other sites would at least re-word it. "Wigan are trying to sign Leicester striker David Connolly but will have to pay £3.5m" Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SystonFox Posted 30 August 2005 Share Posted 30 August 2005 people say they will take 3.5million, as would i, but who do we get in with under 48 hours to go before transfer deadline. i dont want to be left without a main striker for nearly 4 months or whatever it is now.

City Fan Posted 30 August 2005 Author Share Posted 30 August 2005 I hope Wigan just get on with it if they are planning to sign him. Otherwise we will not have time to get in sufficient cover. I think we should start trying to bring in Boyd and Riordan ready and then cancel the negotiations if Connolly stays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 30 August 2005 Share Posted 30 August 2005 Are the Mirror having a bubble or what? £3.5 million? As if we would charge that much for Connolly. He is a class player at our level and i'd be gutted if he went but I guarantee that if we got an offer of anything over £1.25 million then the board of directors would accept it. £500,000 would be pumped back in for transfers and the rest would be saved or to pay off debts. He's 28, isn't playing for Ireland at the minute and has scored 17 goals for us in 50+ games. I think he'll get us 20+ goals this season but for a team looking at Connolly why would you pay £3 million more than we paid for him with the season he's had here? Whoever wrote that piece in the Mirror, should be getting a size 11 up their arse out of the door. Idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SystonFox Posted 30 August 2005 Share Posted 30 August 2005 quite true, with 3.5million we can get both Boyd and Riordan and have a bit of change left spare. maybe sign Hammond on permanently? i think a natural LEFT winger will be good too untill Hammill is ready for 1st team action week in week out.

Wigan are desperate though, they cant tempt anybody to sign for them as everybody knows where they are destined to finish at the end of the season. they are trying to make us give in with "reports" of 3.5million and for me that is far too expensive but if it will make us sell up they'd be happy. it'd be sad to see him go as he could be prolific down here but the prem will be much harder for him. good luck whatever he does though.

breadandcheese Posted 30 August 2005 Share Posted 30 August 2005 Whilst £3.5 million is a stupid amount for Connolly, the transfer window closes tomorrow. If we haven't got a replacement lined up, Wigan will have to pay stupid money for us to part with him. Wigan (who it seems are desperate after missing out on Windass) know this. Incidentally, I'd take the money and make do with our current strikeforce until the January window opens. Am I right in assuming we can still loan players whilst the transfer window is shut? If so, that's another option for us. Someone like Chopra from Newcastle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Posted 30 August 2005 Share Posted 30 August 2005 The transfer window doesn't apply to Scotland does it?? It applies to us though 1.5 mill or upwards and I'd sell happily. Still don't believe the rumours though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossporterlc Posted 30 August 2005 Share Posted 30 August 2005 would certainly accept anything over 2m but we don't have time to get in another striker and i personally wouldn't like to see us playing dublin/de vries or de vries/elvis up front until christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City Fan Posted 30 August 2005 Author Share Posted 30 August 2005 You can tell Wigan are getting desperate after trying to sign Winduphisass for nearly £500K!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted 30 August 2005 Share Posted 30 August 2005 There is plenty of time at the moment to get replacements, transfers can be made in a matter of hours if you work hard enough at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC/FC Posted 30 August 2005 Share Posted 30 August 2005 Up until the last minute the FA receives all paper work and stuff will all be valid. 11th hour transfers are the best. Shocking. And we got a few gems this way too i'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get a deal done on transfer deadline you only need to have a bid accepted by the club and the player talks and medical can be done past the window if I remember rightly.

Fox 4 Life Posted 30 August 2005 Share Posted 30 August 2005 Thats what I thought aswell! Wigan cannot sign conners after 2moro but it applies to the top tiers of european leagues! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted 30 August 2005 Share Posted 30 August 2005 Doesnt the transfer deadline only apply to premership clubs?? From this season to all Clubs. I think loans are still a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
