I dont think a fee has been agreed based on the fact he's still playing for them.It’s seems a bit crazy that we’ve agreed a fee and personal terms with Colak yet PAOK keep playing him, call me old fashioned.

I should answer your made up scenario that even you can't answer? I did give my opinion on it.That's not what i asked you though.
If he offered us alot more next season would you go with him or Lowry?
Is that the context ?Bit of a wanky comment – what is he supposed to do, lie? He's saying Andy wasn't briefed on the tweets because he knows Andy wasn't briefed on the tweets.
What if he stays and is instrumental in us winning a treble and having another good showing in Europe?I know there is loads of chat about Aribo but unfortunately I would not be surprised if he stays and leaves for free next summer. I would rather he was sold sooner rather than later.

That would be excellent yeah. I would prefer 10mil now and get someone else in who hopefully also contributes lots to a successful season though. We dont want to let top talent leave for free.What if he stays and is instrumental in us winning a treble and having another good showing in Europe?
No need for that mate, everyone anyone.Imagine them on a bender together
I think Aribo is definitely off. Other 2 I think at least 1 will sign. Much like Goldson last season you need to weigh up if they're worth more to us than what we would get. No Goldson no Seville imo.
FWIW I've always found the remarks that they'd have no strikers left a bit weird.I get that, but from the other side of things, it'll be easier to sell him if he's fit, and they've said they only have 2 strikers.
We had no intention of keeping Jones or Middleton around last season yet used them in friendlies. Just having the player available to throw on and not have to overwork someone is often what clubs will do.
Other way to look at it is he’s getting match fit with PAOK and will be somewhat ready when he joins us.It’s seems a bit crazy that we’ve agreed a fee and personal terms with Colak yet PAOK keep playing him, call me old fashioned.
Even when I'm being positive.. ha haDortmund 6.4
RSB 4.2
Braga 3.2
Leipzig 3.2
I’d suggest our forwards were more important in getting us to Sevilla.
FWIW I've always found the remarks that they'd have no strikers left a bit weird.
They have 7 strikers in their squad.
Think there has been a fee agreed but boils down to them being down to 1 senior ST if he goes, PAOK need to get there finger out and sign someone cause this waiting is getting ridiculous.I dont think a fee has been agreed based on the fact he's still playing for them.
The player that would be a loss if he left for nothing is actually Ryan Kent, because he was a major outlay, and in my opinion, it would be nice to recoup it at the very least.I think Aribo is definitely off. Other 2 I think at least 1 will sign. Much like Goldson last season you need to weigh up if they're worth more to us than what we would get. No Goldson no Seville imo.
I thought we would have had a couple offers in for our players by now. Aribo and possibly Kamara.
We have Morelos, Kent, Bassey, Kamara and Aribo who are all better than anything they have. Our player trading model is just about to begin.
I don't know how they rate any of them.
If we were offered big cash for Kent just before the qualifiers, would any of our fans be happy if the club said "yeah, don't worry, we've got Middleton, McPake, Sakala, Wright, Kai Kennedy and Kyle McCausland, we're well stocked"?
It seems Čolak is ahead of most of the strikers they have.
Kyle McCausland left in 2014 or 15 and was last playing for cummock juniors?
I know Ross Wilson is having a nightmare but we’re surely not picking up players from the juniors looking for the next Ian wright ?!
Imagine them on a bender together
Even when I'm being positive.. ha ha
They are but we need to kick start this model and soon.
Right now, we have absolutely nothing to convince players they can come here and get a move to a bigger league. It's no surprise someone like Doekhi chose the Bundesliga.
We'll improve them. We'll give them a platform to play big matches but until we start flipping these guys for serious money we'll struggle to persuade players to trust us with their careers.

Stuart Gibson I'm sure stay s in Hong Kong and is Rangers fanPersonally i don't want Hong Kong investors owning and running the club
I agree, ideally, you bring players in for modest sums and sell them for good money, having given the players a platform to establish themselves and an environment where they have flourished as men and enjoyed their experience.That would be excellent yeah. I would prefer 10mil now and get someone else in who hopefully also contributes lots to a successful season though. We dont want to let top talent leave for free.
Standard for this kind of thread name gets dropped out of nowhere and will no doubt become a false rumour in the coming weeks that's how it usually pans out.Anything else on Bongonda? Name got posted and then nothing
Doesn't makes sense to keep him to play friendlies....Other way to look at it is he’s getting match fit with PAOK and will be somewhat ready when he joins us.
He won’t be far behind the rest of the squad in terms of preseason.
What else is there on a supporter's message board?
Something strange about the whole deal, if you ask me.Doesn't makes sense to keep him to play friendlies....
Maybe they are keeping him to play in their Europa Conference tie?
I would not be overly shocked if Morelos signed a new deal but for whatever reason cant see that happening with Aribo.I agree, ideally, you bring players in for modest sums and sell them for good money, having given the players a platform to establish themselves and an environment where they have flourished as men and enjoyed their experience.
Let's hope this occurs, but at the moment I like the squad and I would also be happy if key players like Morelos and Aribo signed extensions.
One more season please then the big money moves.
Must have been listening to ally’s adventure. Got the absolute fear thereWooops! Ross McCausland, of course.
Wonder how the hell I remembered Kyle at all!
Me twoI thought we would have had a couple offers in for our players by now. Aribo and possibly Kamara.
£7m+Anything else on Bongonda? Name got posted and then nothing
Neither do I and I think we should move on now.I dont think a fee has been agreed based on the fact he's still playing for them.
Again that's not what i asked you. You are clearly struggling with a simple question and should have been a politician.I should answer your made up scenario that even you can't answer? I did give my opinion on it.
The data suggests we won't get much from a 'wunderkind' signing, we never do.
So I would go with Lowry, give this kid a miss.
I do agree SDF, but there is a big part of that which is out with our control.
We might be sitting here in two weeks & it’s up & running.
Don't think I've heard of that before tbh. Find it very strangeIt’s seems a bit crazy that we’ve agreed a fee and personal terms with Colak yet PAOK keep playing him, call me old fashioned.
PAOK are currently paying him his wages and he has a pre season to get fit.It’s seems a bit crazy that we’ve agreed a fee and personal terms with Colak yet PAOK keep playing him, call me old fashioned.
Had Cousin not all but agreed to sign for Hull before he scored against Celtic, or was it in the following days it was agreed?Don't think I've heard of that before tbh. Find it very strange
I assume the club is realistic about knowing our place / level based on the finances we have. We can't compete with these teams in terms of adding real quality. We are a Europa League team who may get lucky and fall into the CL with a good draw and a wee bit of luck.After potential opponents in a playoff round PSV signed De Jong and Simons: Monaco, another potential 3rd Qualifer who are unseeded have signed Minamino and set to sign Belotti from Torino
Absolutely mate. The worry for me is that Bassey apart, none of these guys are in their early 20's. I'm not doubting Alfie, Aribo, Kamara and Kent's ability but three of them are 26 this year and the other is 27. Can we seriously expect teams to fork out big money for guys at an age where they might not flip them for profit themselves ?
It might just take one domino to fall but until it does...
I didn't state anything as pure fact. I was discussing the Colak situation with another poster and we disagreed over certain things.Well there’s factual posts and some fiction. Pure conjecture stated as fact as your post appears to be just perpetuates false information and doubt.
