Transfer News and Gossip Transfer Rumours Thread 2024/25 - Time to Cook 👨‍🍳

[BoyWonder2]

That would kill it stone dead for me, why would we want a player who does not want to come here.

Because Darragh isn’t speaking truthfully there…

Just found this interesting writeup on Pedder.

You could have found it earlier. Didn't I post it on this thread after his Gillingham appearance?

He looked really promising to me.

Makes a mockery of the name of the pod if that’s the case

So he’s interested in us it’s just complicated because of his current contract at boro?

Having just listened to the Podcast, to be be fair to Darragh he is actually encouraging Tshimanga to go to one of the two National League clubs....score 30 goals, win the golden boot....put yourself in the shop window etc.
Darragh says Tshimanga and his agent are having none of it though and seem set on sitting in out and wait for the league two club to up their offer.

 

[Uncle_Rons_Teapot]

Bollocks to him then imo

It’s not really complicated.

We want to pay X of his wages, Peterborough want Y. One side will have to budge. Simple as that really.

Tshimanga IS interested in coming to us.

I don’t see a positive resolution our way until the EFL deadline has passed. He may go League Two before that, but if not, and Peterborough don’t change their demands, he sits there for another half a season on big money training with the kids.

Would make sense, after the EFL deadline to drop their demands, then at least we are paying something so they don’t pay the full whack.

But, as is often the case in football, not a lot makes sense.

Raf Pedder’s on fire, he’ll play the Col U off the park

Let hope that happen in FA Cup first or 2nd round in front of live TV, to watch us humiliate them.

Tshimanga IS interested in coming here, and that would have happened by now if the two clubs could agree on a wage contribution.

His agent wants a permanent move to League Two (more money for him and Tshimanga in signing on fees, loyalty bonus etc), but that isn’t close at the moment, and might not happen.

I believe you. He wouldn’t come to Boreham Wood on loan last season if he wasn’t interested in dropping down.

Ah, agents. They can be a real problem.

However, whilst I understand wanting to outsource management of aspects of your career so you can focus on the football, I do wish some footballers would ****ing grow a set and instruct their agent to work towards what the footballer wants, rather than giving the agent such free reign.

Agents are horrendous, not all of them, but a lot.

To be fair, we have had agents work for us in terms of pushing us forward instead of other teams, but obviously it’s not always the case.

It’s annoying for sure I guess there is still slight hope if he’s poxy agent budges on a price then for us ..

It’s nothing to do with his agent budging on price.

It’s 100% between Posh & us as to why we haven’t brought him in. If we jumped up to Y, or Posh came down to X, then we could get this deal over the line. However, it’s a big jump between X & Y. We aren’t talking about £20.

Of course an agent would like a permanent move. As Tshimanga hasn’t asked to leave he’d get a loyalty bonus, he’d get a signing on fee from the buying club, potentially a bigger wage too, maybe even a pay off to cover his loss of earnings if he accepted a lower offer elsewhere. The agent would get paid by both Tshimanga and the buying club, he might even get percentages of different things too.

For clarity though, his agent isn’t holding things up.

For example say we offer to pay 35% of his wage but Peterborough want 60% paid is this what we mean only an example but quite far apart?

Yeah, there is a difference between what we want to pay, and what Posh want us to pay. Can’t give figures, but we are apart. We aren’t talking about 5% here however.

 

[Boreham Blue]

I assume we are actively in discussions with other targets and not just all our eggs in this basket?

 

[Texas Eslan]

So on the basis of this I assume we are looking at different striking options now?

 

[Streaky]

Thanks @BoyWonder2 & @Medway Blue - I do appreciate the insight.

I think it was smart for SUFC to target Pearce, McCallum & Tshimanga - it sounds like they all were keen on coming here (i doubt that would have been the case if we had the previous owner who didnt pay wages). For a number of reasosn they couldnt get done which i think we can understand. However we need to get back to a reasonable level of spend - so lets see what other gems we can find that have dropped out of academies, in NLS/N or avaialble on loan from Champ, L1 clubs..
