St Marco Posted 1 February, 2010 Share Posted 1 February, 2010 Essentially, Begovic is the one player they're desperate to hold onto as he'll have a bigger resale value in the future, and Storrie and Jacob are ****-scared of the fan reaction if they sell him. Whether they'll have a choice in the next 3 hours or so is another matter... And as the hours tick away the price to buy him becomes less and less you would think.

ohwhenthesaints Posted 1 February, 2010 Share Posted 1 February, 2010 I expect Portsmouth want Stoke to pay up in full immediately. I highly doubt this will happen though and Stoke should just need to hold strong until 5pm approaches to have their bid accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastcowzer Posted 1 February, 2010 Share Posted 1 February, 2010 http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/custompages/custompage.aspx?pageid=81581 Worth having a read of the early posts, funny as feck. I particularly like the question about having a youth team, roving report Jordan replies, just about! There do still seem to be some people down the road with complete withdrawl from reality. One such post, I hear we might be signing Baptista from Arsenal and bring in Robbie Keane! Baptista.?.

I highly doubt this will happen though and Stoke should just need to hold strong until 5pm approaches to have their bid accepted. Not completely necessary. If the agreement is (for example) 750k now, 750k at end of this season and 1.5 mil at the end of next season, then as that money must be paid to the PL, it would be possible for them to use that as security with an invoice discounting type company or a "loan shark" and receive the full amount now, although they would be paying between 12 & 20% interest which would be discounted from the amount they get now.

As I understood it he was off to Bayern Munich and that is why they needed a new keeper? Is that move still happening and dependant on bringing someone on? Or is that move for the summer? This will have a major bearing on the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miserableoldgit Posted 1 February, 2010 Share Posted 1 February, 2010 its more likely James will go to Stoke than Bergovic - he does not want to go and already refused spurs He refused Spurs because he wouldn`t be first choice. I bet that if Stoke say they will make him their number one, he`ll be gone in an instant. I doubt very much if he has any emotional attachment to the car-crash that is PFC.

He's got 10% IIRC, and as part of the deal he signed with Al-Mirage, he's also responsible for servicing 10% of the debt.

Chez Posted 1 February, 2010 Share Posted 1 February, 2010 its more likely James will go to Stoke than Bergovic - he does not want to go and already refused spurs Depends how much of his wages you are willing to pay. I heard Stoke were offering just 40% with no loan fee AND you had to start paying his wages again as soon as the season ended ie for the months he is away with England. That sort of deal is not going to help pay HMRC on the 12th is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldNick Posted 1 February, 2010 Share Posted 1 February, 2010 its more likely James will go to Stoke than Bergovic - he does not want to go and already refused spurs Are you Storrie? He does want to go but he requires first team football......oh and his wages paid on time. The transfer window has been perfect to save the club as you can cash in, when the window shuts then what? I myself cant see what people see in Kaboul the little I have seen of him was a player who was very inconsistant and liable to some bad errors. HR has waved his majic dust and the Spurs fans dont see what is happening, his blunderbuss buying approach of getting loads of players in, 30% being good the rest just about making the first team. The good ones make him look a great judge while the rest are lost in the squad for when he is down to the bare bones. Spurs wage bill must make eyes water. even though they get double your gates they must still feel it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As that post is also likely to co-incide with the end of the transfer window with very little sales made, it could also be the beginning of the end game for the few...

rallyboy Posted 1 February, 2010 Share Posted 1 February, 2010 In the next 110mins they need to raise £25M. I don't think they are serious about selling players today to cover debt, the creditors must wonder why little is happening when they should be offloading 7/8 players for the wages at least. Are they hoping it all just goes away and they win a few games by retaining most of their illegally-assembled squad? It's a suicidal strategy in the last chance saloon - the taxman won't blink first and will nail them to a tree. And on the upcoming milestone for the thread, the peleton should wave the thread-starter to the front - so I await a historic and poetic post that may even inspire the book title when it is published.....
