Philinsuffolk Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Mac/StevO - thanks, very kind. Where have I been? I've been logging on, but not much chance to reply, but enough's enough! Did you all know that the recently finalised TV deal means the team that finish bottom of the Prem next season gets £30m?! I haven't seen what you get for finishing say 7th but you can imagine. I know I'm being boring not saying lets dive in for transfers but Matt Etherington...I live in West Ham type land these days and seriously, I would prefer Kev Kilbane.

babbelquack Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 (edited) You might find this interesting, I got it from Owlszone I believe it's from the Sheffield Star: WEDNESDAY are raking in a guaranteed £2.5m from the sale of Madjid Bougherra to Charlton. The fee will climb even higher, as the deal with the Addicks includes provision for further payments linked to his future progress. The Owls also have a large sell-on clause. But while Wednesday are delighted from the business point of view, as the defender cost only £250,000 from French club Gueugnon last summer, he has left with a parting blast from Brian Laws as he gets set to sign for Charlton today. The Wednesday manager described the transfer saga as "a mess" and revealed that Bougherra had told the club that he would not play for them again if he did not get his move. Laws also launched fresh criticism of Charlton, who had an earlier £1.3m bid rejected, and said he believes the centre half has made the wrong choice in preferring the London outfit to Everton. Bougherra has revealed that he snubbed Everton - who then withdrew their undisclosed offer to Wednesday - because they wanted him to play in midfield: he wants to stick to centre half. Laws told The Star: "We didn't want to sell him. This move has been forced by him, his agents and Charlton more than anything. "The whole saga has been a mess. Charlton have never had the decency to give me a call. Everton were ultra-professional, and David Moyes spoke to me first because he wanted to speak to the player. "But when you hear the words coming from the player that he doesn't want to be at Sheffield Wednesday, then he shouldn't be here. We don't want any player who doesn't want to play for us. "His agents told the club, and Madjid told the chairman, that he would not play for us again if he did not get his move. He wanted to go, he begged to go. It put us in a difficult position. "We could have made him see out his contract. But we had a value, and we made Charlton pay that value if they wanted him that badly. "Good luck to Madjid; I wished him all the best but I think he's made the wrong choice. Charlton rather than Everton is a no-brainer - a player should be prepared to play anywhere. "Now we can move on and work with the players who want to be at Sheffield Wednesday." Laws has already had talks with chairman Dave Allen on how the Bougherra money could be spent but says he will not be rushed into signings before next Wednesday's deadline for the sake of it, and is prepared to wait until the summer if that's when the right player is available. Sounds like we're both better off without him!! Edited January 27, 2007 by The Wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 True words spoken by Laws, by what I've seen of him he'd be better suited to midfield anyway. Like he said he's made the wrong choice, he'll be back in the same league as wednesday next season anyway, unless wednesday can manage to get promoted.

Adam Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 According to this it seems that he chose Charlton over us. Like the end bit though what SW boss said about us or charlton http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hlid=4...p;channel=& Despite the dramatic exit, Laws says he wishes Bougherra every success in the future. "Good luck to Madjid. I wished him all the best, but I think he's made the wrong choice," added Laws. "Charlton rather than Everton is a no-brainer - a player should be prepared to play anywhere.

StevO Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 yes we all know about the thirty million....but why arnt we trying to spend some of it..i mean charlton athletic....its embarrising....moyes met bougharra twice....there are other players who have gone to other clubs also after being in touch with us...boa mortes agent was constantly in touch but d moyes couldnt make his mind up...i am worried about our transfer dealings so many mistakes made over the last 5 years. we spent some of it in the summer. but lets have a quick reminder of the NTL deal before we blow the lot, and also, every player will want higher wages next season too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Manual Fernandes's move to Everton is off because Kenwright won't pay £6 million for him. Moyes is reported to be fuming after the Sissoko thing because. Liverpool WILL pay the £6 million!That's right-if the Mascherano appeal fails, Fernandes will be a red. Alan Smith- Everton -7 million pounds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Toffee Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 http://home.skysports.com/transferarticle.aspx?hlid=444469 Think he'd be an top signing for us - perfect with Victor with AJ out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 maybe, as a last choice If mcfadden was playing in the championship with leeds Healy would be bench warming I cannot see why people would want an average player added to a squad that is already just average ..

aaron Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 EVERTON RUMOURS The deal for Manuel Fernandes will be wrapped up by Monday Moyes will then pursue Collins John on loan and make a bid for Matty Etherington despite Everton denying a bid was made James Beattie of Everton has been watched, but a Spurs fan at my workplace has told me that Jol is looking to Klass Jan Huntelaar of Ajax.

MikeO Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 (edited) NOTW reckoned yesterday that Spurs are gonna offer £4.5m for BT (can't see it posted anywhere else). If AJ was fit I'd have pulled their arm off but more difficult now...still think I'd take it if we could get someone (ot two) experienced in on loan to prop up Vic and Vaughan.

Romey 1878 Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 It would be a good deal for us but like you said it's harder right now with our lack of experienced strikers, and also with Moyes' policy of not replacing players who leave it wouldnt do our season much good.
