Omar Bogle (again)

Says he’s not heading out to either of the L2 clubs apparently interested in him, he’s not in the manager’s plans, and that Donny need him out to free up wages. Over the next 7 days something will give. Though it’s a long shot that he’ll turn up here.

My gut instinct is he'll retire from full-time football, concentrate on his music(which he loves probably more than football) then play part time in the NL/NLN/NLS..
Said this before but it's a shame, there was definitely a top level striker in there but it got lost along a very fractured path. Too many clubs have now taken a punt on Omar and it's not worked out.
Now either his attitude stinks or he's just not as good as his agent is making out and clubs have fell for the boll@x of his agents spiel.
Ultimately, I can't see him coming here, Solihull, Hereford potentially are my best bets.

Quoted from Hagrid

bloody Humbug

i dont mind speculation, but theres never any proof or anything concrete that we're in for him- in fairness with PH we never do know. i just personally dont feel Bogle is the player we need right now

Yeah I think that’s the problem, you never get anything out of Hurst. When do we ever hear of a potential signing other than a few hours before it’s done? On top of that there’s just nothing coming out of the club really given that everyone’s isolating, so people are bound to fill the gap with something.

Hereford train in Birmingham so if your theory plays out, that's not an unlikely destination.

How about poaching Ricky Miller from Dover. Proven at this level, but he just playing for a crapola team.

Plus we would get him for a sight less than 'has-been' Bogle.

I've also got the vibe of Miller that he can be a bit of a 'clown' let say, and not the type Hurst looks for

He seems to go to pieces mentally when he has to train full time.

Quoted from jamesgtfc

Why sign somebody now for £2k a week when we could potentially get a £4k player for that money in a week or so when 91 other clubs can't sign them anymore?

You do make a very good point. And we are playing Weymouth on Saturday. Our reserves should be enough to despatch them.

Looks like he's not heading out. Regardless I very much doubt we have any interest in him.

Reading between the lines, Bogle has a year to run on his contract which I suspect is a damn sight better than what clubs below League One will be capable of or willing to offer. I'm sure he knows he's finished at Donny, he will simply want to offset any loss on his new contract in the form of a pay-off from them - why should he stand to lose money?

I don't see why we wouldn't at least be asking the question to be honest, or why we wouldn't be interested in him. I don't know what the relationship behind Hurst and Omar is like; I do recall it being a bit fractious at times, however I'm sure both will recognise that they were good for each other's respective careers and it was under Hurst that he was playing the best football of his life five years ago.

We're surely on the cusp of a Dembele shaped windfall, on the back of fees already received this summer for Pollock and Grist. We're about to sell 3,000 season tickets for only the second time in our history, and as it stands we are the only one of the bigger, traditional clubs in this league not to have made a statement signing up front (or at all, really, as solid as our recruitment looks on paper). We have a gaping hole in our squad in terms of that elusive number 9, and regardless of recent form I honestly think Bogle would tear this division to pieces in that role and his signing would absolutely transform the complexion of our summer recruitment.

I'm not suggesting getting him here would be easy, there may well be offers from League Two clubs which are financially or more professionally attractive. Equally, I'm not suggesting it's a healthy thing to do to rip up your wage structure to entice one player to the club (as Wrexham have so obviously done with Mullin) but if any agreement between Bogle and Doncaster can soften that then we should be prepared to push the boat out a little.

I'm not sure where Omar is living currently - he may be commuting from further down south, but if he's living in the Doncaster area then you'd hope, for once, we might actually be geographically attractive too.

All in all, given the above, I'd just be disappointed if the club hadn't at least explored the idea. Is it any more fanciful than Madden to Stockport, Mullin to Wrexham or Tshimanga to Chesterfield?

No harm in a cheeky loan offer with us taking on a portion of his wages.

Bogle has to agree to any negotiated pay off of his contract so us paying a portion of those wages might actually be a better deal for Doncaster anyway.
