Omar Bogle (again)

Quoted from BobbyCummingsTackle

There seem to be a couple of very good reasons why he won't be coming here:

1. Stockwood has implied we asked the question and Bogle himself said no
2. Bogle has not exactly hidden his feelings about his interests being outside of football
3. He has also demonstrated a belief in himself that is possibly misplaced and therefore a move to the NL would seem
    very unlikely as his ego may not allow it
4. His salary demands (see #3) would probably be beyond us, especially as Hurst values teamwork and being a unit -
    not helped by one player earning more than his colleagues and not being shy about talking about it

I would love to see him back here but I think it's very unlikely.

Is that the case? I'll be honest, I didn't hear Stockwood's interview and have only read what others have repeated on here, but I got the impression that he'd rather skirted around the question as opposed to suggesting Omar didn't fancy it.

Think his words were Bogle and Akinde ‘hadn’t been made available to us’?

Didn't he say "those players were not made available to us"

Is that right?

Which I would think means either:
the club wasn't interested in selling to us - highly unlikely
We asked for a loan and the club wasn't interested in loaning to us - a bit more likely if they wanted to sell him
Or his agent was passing on the players decline to our interest - probably most likely

Middle one of the three I thought

To be fair i would imagine Hurst does have Mr. Bogles mobile phone number and rather than go through an agent he may well have just rang him and said " now then Omar me old mucka do you fancy coming out to play?"
My view is the club i.e. Donny rovers wanted rid of his wage before the window shut, now that it has shut you cant say we don't have a chance if we do stump up enough wages to take Donny's interest.  Pretty sure Omar doesn't want to be sat around.
Would he drop down? probably if its a loan till Christmas for some game time
If we get him on loan until January and he fires 15 - 20 goals then come the next window clubs would be lining up with offers.

Im pretty sure Omar knows the time he can earn in football is very limited so would be a fool to turn his back on it, may have earnt a wedge but at 28 another 4-5 years earnings could be lost. he should be at his peak playing years now. another good run with us could resurrect his career and get him that one last big deal and real financial security.

I think you can see from the answers above that we've all taken different nuances from his comment but the common theme is that he's not coming.

Does Hurst always adopt the persona of D*ck Van Dyck in Mary Poppins when he's approaching players? It's not surprising that we miss out on a few, they must think he's a right pillock.

It only takes a phone call to prolong this topic, or end it.

Scoff all you like Bobby but I've just been for brunch at Millfields and you won't believe who I bumped into...
