Barnet offer club record bid for Omar

Quoted from HertsGTFC

I get that one to a degree as they have money to spend and some big plans, also they could sell Abrahams who's "hot" apparently at the if Omar settled well.

On loan from Chelsea Herts.

Have we actually formally received a bid from Barnet ?

In a statement in the GET John Fenty slammed a reported bid of £250,000 for star striker Omar Bogle as "derisory".
The Mariners figurehead also assured fans that the club would not even consider a bid as low as that for the prolific hitman.

Yet he doesn't say if a bid has or has not been made.

Quoted from Civvy at last

I must have missed something.  When exactly did Barry Fry take over at Barnet ?? !!

1979. And 1986.


(Can't believe no one else has said that already).

Surely we need to be giving him an improved and extended contract to up his value. He's clearly going to attract interest.

Quoted from webbit

i think Bignot will talk him into staying

Can't imagine he would need talking into staying, especially if the option is Barnet.

Quoted from Bigdog

On loan from Chelsea Herts.

Ahhh............ One of many!

Barnet fan here in peace.
Most Barnet fans don't think that there is much truth in this story. If it is true then £250k seems too cheap. However I'd just like to answer a few questions made in this thread. We don't own the freehold to the Hive but we do have a long lease from Harrow council. There are several other businesses run there which help to sustain Barnet FC including a banqueting suite capable of seating 500 people, a gym, nine football pitches including two all weather ones, this season both Spain and Scotland trained at the Hive as have lots of other teams including Brazil and Germany in the past. Toshiba are about to open a medical centre with some very expensive scanners and will also use the centre for training. There is even a motor cycle training school in one of the car parks. There is a Starbucks coffee shop and a restaurant is opening in a couple of weeks.
On top of all this we sold Underhill for £14.25 million pounds so our Chairman does have funds available and he says we will be strengthening the squad in January.

We'll take that for Omar then. We'll even throw in John Fenty for that amount.

Cheers for the info ob1. Don't want to be too disparaging to your club as i have no problem with you but i think most of us would be gobsmacked if he went to Barnet and would probably have a public lynching of the board. I met two very sound Barnet fans out drinking in Grimsby the night before we last played you in the league in our relegation season. Also met up with them after the game for a pint or two and they were magnanimous in defeat. Thought we were going to stay up after that game but it wasn't to be.
