GMP would love that.Should offer cash + a friendly, good day out for the travelling bears and Oldham would make some extra cash off it too

Suspect MA will pull a few more unknowns out the hat before the summer window ends.Not really that important.
Why? If he is a player that our scouts & management have followed to the point of making an offer then why would we just fold the second our opening bid has been made?
I'd love us to walk away from all targets after our first initial bid and end up signing no one this window
Literally no players would ever be transferred for money if that was the case.
What a load of nonsense.No, just walk away now. We’ve offered what we think he’s worth and they’ve rejected our bid and, according to the report, bids from three other teams (presumably in the same ballpark) because that want a ‘bidding war’. F*ck that. Move on.
Ha your a sharp one you.I had a feeling they would Drive the price up once a few clubs were interested.
That's their prerogative- any club would do the same if several clubs were chasing one of their players.
Ha your a sharp one you.
Anthony Royle was from Wythenshawe and got beat up by the Bezick brothers, it means hee haw
I realise this is just early negotiations, but I must admit it would worry me a little if we never got any of Mexer, Klosse or Edmundson, as that would be 3 main targets we've been linked with we failed to get. I'm just hoping there's till plenty of alternatives planned.
That’s the same katic that got hooked at half time for having a bit of a stinker v motherwellThe same Steven Gerrard who dropped Katic for Worrall .... lets hope John Brown has had a hand in scouting this boy !!
I expect as off now we are still in talks with them, unless they have went totally of the wall in their demands?
Does fat Mike not own Oldham ?
That fat turb will not make it easy for us to get the lad
The point I’m making is that Oldham appear to be playing silly buggers. The fact that the player was allowed to travel to Glasgow suggests to me that we had an agreement in principle at the £450k figure. Someone else comes in late and they renege on that agreement. That’s their privilege. They are entitled to do so. Just as we are entitled to say we don’t like the way you do business and walk away.
We are talking about a player who is likely to be 4th choice for us after all, since I expect another centre-back to come in who will fight it out with a Goldson and Katic for a starting slot. Is he THAT much better than whoever is 2nd or 3rd on our list? Probably not. I suspect Allen won’t ‘do a Bain’ and if he thinks the price is now too high we will walk away. As we should. I doubt Edmundson is critical to our planning for next season.

I know nothing about the boy but trust our management team to make the correct decision.
Neither can I.14th
In League 2
Thats the 4th division in old money.
Hoping for half a million.
Bet the fans of other teams in that division can't believe it either.
I’d be amazed if the story of a ‘rejected’ bid is actually true in my humble opinion
After the progress this management team has made an you get folks like you.We need to sign quality
After the way, they left Katic kicking his heels while playing Worrall I will trust them if they win trophies.
Just tell them to accept what we offered or f*ck off , no increase , no waiting.Tell them the deal is on the table untill lunchtime on Wednesday and after that we move on.
His grandfather got too the south pole before Scott.
We also had Joe Worral who was valued at £10m ???Half a million quid for a player from a mid table 4th tier team and they want more. Cant say I'll be dissapointed if we look elsewhere. We got a young high potential croatian international centre half for less than 3x that.
I think even Forrest will now realise that they were being overly ambitious with that. Besides, in a league where guys like waghorn (who I like btw) can go for 6 million plus, the valuations don't reflect the value for money. That's my issue.We also had Joe Worral who was valued at £10m ???
Don’t disagree with you but on the flip side of those valuations £450k doesn’t sound a lot if the guy is any good ?I think even Forrest will now realise that they were being overly ambitious with that.

That's fair enough, and at half a million quid it's a punt we can afford for a squad player. I just get a bit uneasy with the thought of a player at such a low level making the step up to a title challenging team in the Scottish top flight (even though it's rank, it's better than league two).Don’t disagree with you but on the flip side of those valuations £450k doesn’t sound a lot if the guy is any good ?
Sounds like Portsmouth, Preston and Fleetwood are really keen too.
Gut feeling suggests your right but hopefully our scouting team get it rightThat's fair enough, and at half a million quid it's a punt we can afford for a squad player.

Last bit is correct 100% & exactly why I think it’s a pish story
After the progress this management team has made an you get folks like you.
Have a day off.
He was here then we know exactly what they are looking for etc, hence I struggle to believe we have had bid rejected
That’s my thinking
Hull City cool interest in Rangers transfer target George Edmundson
HULL CITY have cooled their interest in Rangers target George Edmundson.
Oldham reportedly booted out a Gers offer for the highly-rated centre-half earlier this week.
It's understood the League Two club had originally placed a £500,000 asking price on his head.
But the Lactics have now ramped up his price tag due to interest from elsewhere.
Hull, Stoke City, Sunderland, Preston and Fleetwood Town have all been credited with an interest in the 21-year-old.
However, Hull Live claims Nigel Adkins isn't willing to pay over the odds for the youngster and will move on to other targets.
SunSport Online first revealed that Edmundson was given a VIP tour of the Hummel Training Centre.
Light Blues boss Gerrard is looking to bolster his defence having lost Joe Worrall and Gareth McAuley.
The more I hear about this deal the more convinced I become that Oldham are ‘at it’ after verbally agreeing a deal with us prior to the players trip to Glasgow,
Me too cause fat cashley has his fingers in OldhamThe more I hear about this deal the more convinced I become that Oldham are ‘at it’ after verbally agreeing a deal with us prior to the players trip to Glasgow,
RANGERS target George Edmundson has turned down an improved contract offer from Oldham Athletic.
How do you know that?No, just walk away now. We’ve offered what we think he’s worth and they’ve rejected our bid and, according to the report, bids from three other teams (presumably in the same ballpark) because that want a ‘bidding war’. F*ck that. Move on.
Remind me where Vardy was playing before Leicester. The boy could be the next Baresi14th

Imagine we had and his clone was rampaging down the left. What a thought.Fs we could get 2 Taverniers for that!!
Still can’t believe how much he cost us

Pretty sure Man U tried that with the Da Silva twins.Imagine we had and his clone was rampaging down the left. What a thought.
