Guest Ricardo 'Livi' Red Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 He's in Bristol The last rumour from Sky was that he told a Hungarian newspaper he was back to England and would sign next week.. http://www1.skysports.com/news/12040/7901933/ The report was dated 14th July.. So even his own words didn't ring true.. Was told today that Rangers were interested.. But at the moment they are linked with more players than we are.. Personally I don't think Del really is that keen..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ashtonphil Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I have no doubt that both of them will sign for Portsmouth on £20,000 per week, now that they're not going bust and can sign players again :laughcont: :me?: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downendcity Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I must admit that I'm struggling to keepup with our transfer activity and am even more confused by this thread. So, has GJ blown out Metab after he went back for one last game? Has Mifsud also been given the cold shoulder for being to big for his boots? If, so then we look like going into a new season still needing a striker, so is our only option to go back with our tail between ourt legs and pay over the odds for the lad from Crewe - Micky someone I think!? Either way, looks like Robbored will have plenty of ammunition to keep up the attacks on our conference manager in the new season. There you go - I'm not as confused as I thought.

If Del did confirm all of the players he was interested in to the public then this would have a negative effect. For example, imagine if he came out and said we had agreed a fee for Baldock. All other interested parties would immediately submit a bid. This would then turn into a bidding war, meaning we may be priced out of a move on a player we would have signed had we kept it all under the radar.

Everyone would know that we've submitted a bid, there'd probably be 380 pages on this thread instead of 38 and what would it have achieved? We'd have confirmation of what we can all work out from Del's silence; that he's someone we're interested in but we haven't signed him yet.

Im not displeased either with the way Del has tried to bring some quality to the club..far from it.. But a little bit more disclosure would not do any of the harm you suggest...like I said before most Professional Footballers Agents when that player becomes available spends considerable time ringing around interested parties trying to broker the best deal for his player and himself... The first person they ring is usually the " freindly sports journalist" a bidding war is just what they want... Its also very rare that once a transfer fee and conditions is agreed by both parties the deal will be broken as essentially a contract is in place and will be generally upheld by the FA and or legal process.
