Guest WillsbridgeRed Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Today's Western Morning News states that Coughlan is undecided whether to the Pilgrims now. Steven Gerrard Mark II. I believe the way it is, he feels now is the best time to move on, but he hasn't been offered a better deal at City, and is now looking to stay at Argyle and possibly sign a 2 year extension on his contract. We can't let this player slip through our fingers!We're almost there with the squad we have - Come on City, sort something out and get this deal finished.

Guest Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 He's only just in for talks this morning I believe, so how he can be offered a poorer contract when he's not even been in for 'talks' is beyond me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRaw Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I thought he was due in for talks today because of his wife giving birth and wanting to spend some time with her.I'd be surprised if he knew what our offer was yet let along deciding to reject it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Br 1st ol Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 "...from discussions so far I don't foresee a problem." Brian Tinnion on the BCFC official site.City SiteTherefore, they HAVE had initial conversations and they have made a provisional, without prejudice offer to the player.Therefore he is in a position to know the relative merits of his current contract and that likely to be offered by City.Therefore he may have thought about the stress of moving against the benefiots of a new contract....and so it is quite likely that he is in a position to have a view on the city proposal...and may indeed be minded to stay put.

RedRaw Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I can see this situation dragging on for at least another week!Even if Coughlan is happy with our offer he will probably want the weekend to mull it over with the missus which will give the Wendys a chance to get in touch. He will then probably want to go and see them to keep his options open which means it will drag into the middle of next week.He will then want a few days to mull over both offers before maybe making a decision by this time next week......thats unless Preston come in with an offer!My message to Mr. Coughlan......you will no doubt be first choice at BCFC whereas Wendys have already signed 2 further defenders and are bidding for others.Plymouth fans seem to think you struggled a bit in the Championship last year, if true, you will no doubt be mindful of that.Signing for City will give you a very good chance of winning another promotion, it would be unlikely at the Wendys.Signing for City means you will be able to remain in the wonderful West Country.and the real selling point.....where else will you get the chance to wear a fully gold, bling, bling away kit!

Guest Cuckfield Green Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Doh....doh....and thrice doh! ←I wouldnt sweat it if i were you, Wednesday have hardly been unaware of his situation, I just wonder if he is trying to squeeze a bit more from our board and banking on supporters kicking up a fuss about a legend being allowed to leave similar to a mini Gerrard scenario. Sadly he is having delusions of adequacy and burning a lot of goodwill from both sets of fans in the process, time he got his finger out he has been behaving like a bit of a primadonna lately.

Guest redrebel Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I have that awful sinking feeling that if we were going to get Coughlan we would have signed him by nowIf we miss out on Coughlan it will be a disaster.For so long we have missed a good,tough and experienced centre- half with the experience of promotion.To be so close to signing him and lose out now would really affect our chances of going up especially if Hull are after Coles and we lose Lita.What looked to be a superb pre season in the transfer market is now potentially going to turn very sour.
