Updated: Cardiff make £7.8m offer

Daily Record now reporting that the player is ‘flattered’ by Cardiff’s interest but is stalling saying that he ‘wants to keep options open’ over next few weeks.
If this is true / reliable source I don’t like the sound of this

Same outlet that said Cardiff had no chance and rangers were out there talking isn’t it. Sour grapes it sounds like.

I think he will join us.

Fair play, if this comes off .

Yes finally fair play if we do it.

But Clubs in our league now spend £15/£20 Mill on players

Yes back in the day we spent 5 million on gary madine never scored a goal.

Boro just spent £20m on Spurs striker!! But never heared of him? " will lankshear"

Will Lankshear a very good player but with Spurs pushing the (proverbial) boat out this season, he is probably better seeking pastures new!

We had a Spurs striker for next to nothing! He was called Kion Etete! How did that one work out?

Hope so mate. Tbh I did wonder how they would get stuff directly that the player had said. Guesswork I’m hoping.

‘Something’ changes every 5 minutes, so we just need to let this one develop. Rangers are rightly peeved on this one, so I would expect a few anti-comments to be made!

Patience is key, as BBM proved last season!

If that's true then it's time to move on to other targets & not waste anymore time on him.

If indeed it is true (and that's a big "if") then I agree with you 100%

He would be clearly waiting for something better to come along and would just be viewing us as a second best choice.

Give him an ultimatum - decide by the end of the week or move on and forget him.

Hearing the fee has now been accepted?

Cant wait for this to be all over with

I can't believe Tan is doing this, what's changed?

He had better be for £20m chris! Boro always have money to burn maybe this season it pays off?

It's more or less the same amount they will receive from Villa for the sale of Morgan Rogers to Chelsea. Boro' had a 20% sell-on clause. Very clever business.

Recently we know nothing about transfers until they actually sign .Why is this transfer different?

Makes sense then... this is why if lawlor goes at least a 30% sell on clause goes with him i prefer 40%

The media got on to it via the Rangers link, which is why the Bluebirds (who haven’t commented to date) were inadvertently named as a bidder

The Bluebirds have been praised for their professionalism and discretion during negotiations, and that in itself make ‘doing business’ a lot easier

Recently we know nothing about transfers until they actually sign .Why is this transfer different?

That is just not true. The transfer of Osho was rumoured for weeks, similar with Scanlon.

Also, foreign countries (Norway in this case) have their local journalists providing updates on their star players leaving their clubs - especially in Scandinavian countries. It was the same with Salech.

£7.8mill

There’s a few misery guts on here that won’t be happy!

I can't believe Tan is doing this, what's changed?

BBM has gained his trust, told him what he wants, and Tan is clearly trying to support him. Tan probably just wants to make sure the deal is negotiated correctly, especially since it's a big fee, and he likely believes he can drive a better bargain than his own board can.

Did Newton uncover him? If this is the type of player profile our new senior technical scout is finding for BBM, I’m fascinated to see who else he’s got in the pipeline for us.

All pretty much done apparently. Will sign in next few days, Monday at latest. Comes from Norwegian journalist.
Not over til fat lady dings but looking very very good.

Didn’t he massively increase his net worth recently?

It’s actually a number of Norwegian journalists

Tidy

Interesting to see if he plays in the Europa League tonight.

If he doesn't, they are protecting any deal.

If he does, he then cannot play for Rangers in Europe until the group stages. Only a couple of games but still.

Let's hope it's a, decoy and we are looking elsewhere.
