' STRIKER TURNS US DOWN ? '

This is probably the weirdest and possibly the funniest transfer link we have had at City for some time.

First their chairman says a deal is agreed, just personal terms to be sorted.

Then the player says Slade wants him but it is down to Tan.

Our club deny any interest in the player and no bid made.

The player gives City until next Monday to get the deal sorted.

Our club still denies a deal is agreed.

The player now rejects us :lol:

Earlier this week, Heracles chairman Jan Smit confirmed that the club had accepted a bid from the English Championship side, but the player has now rejected the move.

AD are reporting that the lack of action from Cardiff City and the duration of negotiations are behind Weghorst’s decision to say no to a move to Wales.

The rejection doesn’t mean the 23-year-old will remain in Almelo though, with Scottish side Celtic also reportedly interested.

It sounds to me like there never was a transfer bid and the story was created to attract attention from others like Celtic.

It sounds like frustration to me.

Soley my opinion - We agree a fee and salary, want to keep it secret, but are waiting to finalize the pay off Revell & Macheda will recieve, they want too much so we are still negotiating, the agent feeling he is losing a hefty "fee" leaks it to the press to stoke other interest as he has a baseline that Cardiff are offereing this.

Hope we don't get him. I don't trust Slade in the slighest

De ja vu with most of our transfers!

We as a club are appalling at closing and finalising a deal!

It most certainly does,,,this is how a lot of foreign agents work, you only have to read Peter Ridsdale's book to understand that.

The last thing we want is yet another Velikonja/Cornelius type player with us!

It's obvious

Slade wanted him the players wanted to come

Tan didn't want him , he hasn't got a clue let's sign 11 velikonjas
