Are seriously suggesting the Maynard fee owed is not instrumental IF the deal goes through?

Come on keep up, I thought at least you had some common sense, if at least short of a good retort. :punish: ,

Doesnt work like that we will get our money Baldock or not...what we have to do is make Baldock an offfer of a salary attractive enough for him to break his contract.... 90 % of PF's leave it completely in the hands of their agents....I would imagine Baldock would go to any one of the Championship or Div 1 clubs surrounding the metropolis for 15 k a week...... thats the way it is in professional footy land ...trust me I know.... If baldock signs he will even be briefed by both clubs in what to say...come on keep up..... this isnt the sixties where managers met players in the red lion for a pint a spit and a handshake. Its agent v agent brokering a deal..thats why there has been no concrete statments from either club. The world of professional football transfers is more clandestine and secretive than MI5

I dont really understand twitter, but it looks to me like a city fan asked if fee agreed and sullivans boy said simply 'no'

However it looks a bit like this was at 3pm this afternon, so perhaps things have changed this eve

think sullivans boy only about 12 so would be odd for him to be up replying this late to people

The 12 yr old Jack Sullivan doesn't deny anything on twitter. The question was can you confirm that a bid has been accepted. He merely states no. That doesn't mean a fee hasn't been reached. It means he can't confirm. Could be because his daddy has told him not too or he simply doesn't know. He doesn't say that a bid hasn't been accepted at all. Still believe it when it's on the OS. Amazing if we do get him as I believe he will do really well for us. I live in hope but Im not holding my breathe for sure. Seems to have picked up pace though and Del only said today that hopefully 1-2 in by Gillingham game. That's 2 days away effectively as we don't sign players at the weekend historically.

In Dels interview on Rad Bristol earlier he said "there are two players who are very keen on coming to BCFC but sometimes its not always up to the player", so that could imply that WHU hadnt agreed a fee at that time altho Baldock wanted to come ?

Or that the player's WAG is unwilling to move to Bristol..

Mind you you know what is going to happen we will agree a deal....blaze of publicity...and he will turn out to be shite....

That had crossed my mind as well. Sincerely hope not.

Interestingly he turned Posh down or they turned him down according to them just a month before the Hammers bought him. At that time a fee of £1.2 million was agreed. Fergie said he did not like his attitude and Baldock said he felt uninspired by the place!!!!! Still, its 85 miles north of London compared to 107 to Brizzle.... not much difference and lets be quite frank here, the difference between the two places could not be more stark. As I believe you have said Dave its not the location that is anything to do with any possible delay on many a transfer dealing.

All things considered, if the lad comes here I will be reasonably pleased because he clearly has talent but I will reserve being ecstatic until he grabs that first brace away to somewhere like Blackburn. I say Blackburn only because I hope they go down, again.

Actually I have quoted facts on this thread, thus helping it from the depths of utter speculation and b/s about players we will never sign...we did have Andy Cole, Carry on with you and yours fantasy players games if that rocks your boat...Oh! look there are some more threads on players that will never sign for us :bored:

I would almost like one of them to sign now ore for the fact that it would make you look stupid rather than the fact that it would be a great signing for the club. And how is stating that none of the players are interested stating a fact? Do you know all of them personally? Idiot!

All this and he might even turn out to be shit anyway once he signs!

Trundle was probably the signing that most excited me and his Youtube video must have astounded everybody. That didn't quite pan out as expected.

KUMB (West Ham board) say Baldock's short and easily knocked off the ball so he'll need a target man up with him and some time in the weights room.

I'm loving the people on this thread getting all annoyed about the thread, but who are actually posting more than anyone else on the thread!! Go figure.

Anyway, isn't this part of the fun of football? Speculating who is going to be joining your club, branding names around, rumours?

I for one love a bit of speculation, it sorts out a boring pre-seaon and get me excited for the season in hand. Lets hope we get to see Baldock don the shirt vs Bournemouth

Thank you badger. I agree maybe 10 mins of rough will go and read a thread that he is actually interested in rather than boring us all.

Stead will do that and hold the ball up creating room for him if he signs

Why would we have a PC?

It'll be the normal text then interview on website.

Well if it is an expensive signing, or high profile signing, we normally go down the PC route, others like you rightly say are text and website.

So I am expecting a Text :)

My mate who is a west ham fanatic said that Baldock jumps well for a small fella is a poacher and is lightening fast, and would score us 20 a season he said that he has defo left west ham and will probably come here but he is waiting to see if any other offers come in, Probable bowlarks but he thinks that if Huddersfield sell Rhodes then he could be wanted their on a lot more money than we can pay him....

He is still on a west ham contract so there is no rush for him to make a decision.

Like i said probably bowlarks but i thought i would put it on here anyway.

You're mate says 'he's definitely left west ham' then at the end you say 'he's still on a west ham contract so no rush' the simple fact is he's either left or he hasn't !? He either has an employable contract where he turns up to work or not.

The most credible source so far is the west ham guy on twitter who got several right before confirming baldock has gone, he just hasn't said where to !!!

The main concern is that the player doesn't want to come here. Looking at the anecdotal evidence, Watford would seem to tick all his boxes, so my concern is that he will go there.

However they signed a Swiss striker on loan from Udinese yesterday, so that's a good sign. On the other hand, Zola has indicated another signing is imminent - who knows whether this could be another striker?

That would be a concern yes, but like with everything else it was only a rumour that span out of control,

If we sign him I've no doubt he will give everyything for us whether thats for a move to a bigger club or just to prove to west ham he can cut it, it will only work in our favour,

Ether way lets wait and see if these twitter rumours are true, My little birdy said he doesn't know so I'm none the wiser ether,

He has got alot of abuse for the busakyi thing though

Ah so thats what has been delaying the transfer. Del has needed to find the time to take Baldock and his missus on a tour of the metropolis that is cabot circus.

I'd be incredibly surprised if Watford spend £1.6 million on a player. The business model of these new owners seems to involve getting them promoted by loaning reserve players from Udinese and Granada. I don't think they have any interest in paying big fees for players

The way I see this at the minute is that because WHam still owe us money for Micky, we're the only club for whom it is financially viable to sign him permanently. Baldock is with a team who've just been promoted and feels he can get a crack at the Premier League. WHam aren't interested in playing him so want rid. To a certain extent it comes down to whether Baldock's ego will allow him to accept he's not going to play in the Premier League next season. Or whether we've even made a bid in the 1st place....

As long as we don't play 4-5-1!

looking at the pre-seasons (not to be judged I know) but it looks as if we will be playing with wingers and one in the hole in that 4-5-1 I see baldock as an in the hole player with stead knocking the ball down to him

In my opinion, if he is waiting for other offers before deciding, does that mean if we sign him he will be committed to us? I hope it's not a case of we sign him so he can raise his profile and a pathway back to the Prem then we have another Maynard situation on our hands!

Come on keep up.... when he said he has left, he means he is a goner, West Ham know is is definatly leaving but it is just a question of where and yes he is still on a contract .. of course he is, he will be until he signs on the dotted line for someone else

I think that City have agreed a fee of 500k for Baldock. But cannot meet his salary expectations. There are several clubs it seems who will pay Whams valuation of 1.75 million and maintain his current salary. Baldocks agent will be advising him and as he will make 15% and Sam 10% out of any transfer fee its easy to see why any deal is stalling. Theres absolutely no doubt that Baldock thinks he is better than a Championship player so if he does leave Westham surely hes not going to do it unless its financially very much worth his while or if he believes he will be back in the Premier League before long.

I dont think City are in a position to fullfill either of those criteria sadly, unless a loan deal can be brokered in which Wham agree to suppliment his salary.

The new season starts in 8 days, and we haven't a competitive team. We need quickly a CB and a Striker :(

On that basis I am rushing out to put my life savings on City for relegation.

so albert Heaton Stead Anderson Cunningham Elliot Morris are all league 1 players and not worth a w**k

That's 7 players and you spoken of 1 defender, Elliot who's not played in about 4 months, Anderson who has not had a proper preseason and Morris, who has looked tidy in a 3 man midfield yet ho I have minor reservations about in a 2..

what?! i think his point is that you could have 11 world class players in your starting 11 but if the other 14 are awful then its not a competitive squad - i.e. we still need better players in certain positions to make our squad of 25 competitive

yea and I'm pretty sure del is well aware of what we lack and what we need alot better then us,

last time i checked there is 8 days until the forest game and 21 days left of the transfer window and 3 months left of the loan window

Yeah, but wouldn't it be nice for once to have the team set out ready for the opening match, with all transfers completed and not with all this pussy footing about.?

Caullker turned out to be a life saving move, but once gone we went back to the uncertainty.

Loans ok but could do without.

Well, It is okay to be aware of what you need, we are all aware of whast we need, trouble is can we financially back, or attract to the positions we need? I hope so.

Otherwise it is a bit like saying, it's the thought that counts!

Yep , that would be great , but I bet there are very few of the 92 league clubs who can say they have conducted all their business. Even the likes of Man City with all their wealth are having problems , Man Utd have done very little business either.

I expect there to be loads of deals done after the season has kicked off , 1 big move could spark everything into life.

Not sure if posted above, but I see 20mins ago Sullivan's little chavvy responded to 'have whu accepted a bid' 'no'. Pretty unambiguous and no scope for the answer relating to 'can you confirm'

Cannot find the potenial target thread so just going to throw this one out there

Sky reporting that Berra wants out at Wolves. Looks like hes talking up regular footie as reason, rather than thinking he is too good for championship or anything like that.

Might be too expensive but worth a look? I always though he looked pretty decent, good age,

No idea, but think he is quite young. He seems to dish out a lot of information. Surely has to dampen all of last night's hype.

i dont think we will see any further additions to the squad before the start of the season, and we will make a couple of panic buys at the end of the transfer window.

there will be no panic buys

have some faith ffs
