TheBoyDave 123 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I would have liked to get this signing but we did not succeed I will not be getting upset about this. Iwould like us to get a more defensive minded midfielder though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know.. have we seen any official figures? There were also rumours that the valuation was a lot less before they moved the goal posts, but then again.. we dont know that for sure. These dealings are a lot more complicated than we tend to think, in my opinion.. Leeds might have asked to be kept informed all along for them to swoop as soon as we were approaching an agreement? We can only guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johanhentze 14,089 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Just now, Smile said: I'm only going by what i read on here as you say its guessing. Exactly. A lot of rumours are passed as facts and all it does is lead to hysteria. We didnt get him, for whatever reason. We move on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchy 1,200 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 11 minutes ago, Sportingintegritymyarse said: Who said he didn't want to? 18 months left on contract so club had upper hand . He did put in a transfer request. We couldn't speak to him whereas Leeds could because they met the valuation and we didn't. His decision was to stay or go to Leeds. We were not part of that equation. Or should he have waited for our bid to increase dramatically (which it wouldn't have), or even waited in the hope we'd return in 18 months for him? He can't decide on an offer that's not there. I can't say with any honesty that I'd been following the issue in any detail, so if you say that Leeds and his club had the upper hand, I can't disagree with that.

geronimoo 1,474 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Dunno how much he will be getting paid but being an English club I reckon it is way more than a Scottish team can afford, the guy wasn't a Rangers supporter and feels playing at Leeds would be best for him, good luck to him and I'm sure MW and DW will not be losing any sleep over it.

loyalfollower 1,543 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I doubt Rangers would spend 1 million per 1 player in this transfer window. I even think 500k is abit over the top for ohalloran as I'm sure he only has 4 goals this season. I'd like another forward and or a sitting midfielder but still confident of winning this division Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
harlands plater 16,986 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Surprised anyone wants to sign for Leeds, they're a complete basket case of a club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertent 2,081 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Its good to conclude business early in the transfer window. But never fear its not as if we were needing a strong midfielder we can use the kids. Best save our money rather than squandering 100s on players.

KingKirk 25,650 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 29 this summer and would cost 1million quid Imo contract included. Buying him for that amount at that age would go against everything warbs talks about in a player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 A lean squad (MW's own assessment). An apparently top target who apparently met MWs criteria for adding value on and off the pitch slips through the net to another club. Would he have been a player that materially improved the prospect of promotion this season? Well if MW thought so and it was a matter of insufficient money to close the deal then lets hope we are not looking back at this failed transfer attempt as a landmark of what might have been. The point is - what price promotion if key target players are not landed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree with this, it's OK to go with the macho posturing but it's stupid if it drives the club into trouble. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
