Secret Site Agent Posted 20 October, 2010 Share Posted 20 October, 2010 (edited) We have offered Adam a big wadge of cash according to my 'Insider', (which I didn't even know I had) to stop him going to Birmingham. And it's big, Huge, Ginormous and Massive.......Aledgedly. Cue the 'We already know' brigade. But forgiveness if this is old news, I have been down a hole for the last week, (and NO, i'm neither Chilean nor a minor) Edited 21 October, 2010 by Secret Site Agent don't want to upset the Pedants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMikey Posted 20 October, 2010 Share Posted 20 October, 2010 Define big, huge, ginoumous (?) and massive... Either way, hope he will sign because losing him would be a bitter, bitter blow to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kraken Posted 20 October, 2010 Share Posted 20 October, 2010 We have offered Adam a big wadge of cash according to my 'Insider', (which I didn't even know I had) to stop him going to Birmingham. And it's big, Huge, Ginoumous and massive.......Aledgedly. Cue the 'We already know' brigade. But forgiveness if this is old news, I have been down a hole for the last week, (and NO, i'm neither Chilean nor a minor) Good news to confirm we've definitely made him a formal offer, and that it's a generous one. I don't see it changes much in the short term though; it's still very much in AL's interests to see his current contract out to the summer and make a decision then. He can then either decide to re-sign with us if we go up, or with one of what will likely be a number of potential suitors from the leagues above. Of course, if he's a home town boy and just doesn't want to move it would great for us to have him put pen to paper. But very unlikely IMO.

Hamilton Saint Posted 20 October, 2010 Share Posted 20 October, 2010 Two pedantic points: 1) Always proofread your thread title before posting. 2) Ginormous is a combination of gigantic and enormous; therefore, spell it as ginormous.

Gordon Mockles Posted 21 October, 2010 Share Posted 21 October, 2010 Ginoumous I love this word. If it was a word, which sadly it is not yet people still like to morph "gigantic" into "enormous" to make up new words. Stu*****s!! ;0) LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the wedge Posted 21 October, 2010 Share Posted 21 October, 2010 He'd definitely sign up if they offered him wedge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintBobby Posted 22 October, 2010 Share Posted 22 October, 2010 Wedges and wadges aside, I'd say it's likely that we will make him a very good offer and he'll sign. That doesn't mean he stays for another 3 years, but it does mean (a) he gets paid many thousands more every month and maybe a signing on bonus and (b) if he does go we get much more in transfer receipts. Given this looks to be in both Adam's and in Saints' interest, it will probably happen. He may well still leave in the Summer , even then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topcat Posted 22 October, 2010 Share Posted 22 October, 2010 The right time for a large offer was December 2009 which was 6 months after the new ownership and with 18mths left on his contract. At this point Adam can force a sale through to a Club elsewhere simply because he can hold over us the threat of being free of any contract next summer with us then getting a development award. This delay will probably have lost us £2m to £5m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
