Omar Bogle (again)

Let’s face it, he’s going to want decent money. If we sign him, it’s a massive show of intent but it also puts him under extreme pressure. Does he want/need to be a big fish in a little pond? It could be a genius move or go spectacularly wrong, I don’t think there’s an in between.

Ritchie Wellens has said they have had interest in Omar Bogle and allowed him to think about it over the weekend, and that ultimately, hes not in their plans.

Question is, are we that club?

Honestly guys, and I say this without wanting to offend anybody, it is absolutely embarrassing reading this every week.

Quoted from jamesgtfc

He's earned a life changing amount of money since leaving here. That changes people and makes them re-evaluate their priorities. I don't think he gets much enjoyment from competitive football anymore.

I can't imagine that he's earned enough to set himself up to retire and not have to work. I'd have thought somewhere in the region of £5k-£8k a week whilst at the championship clubs and probably about £2k a week now. About half of that will go to the tax man and then being a footballer he'll waste a lot on cars, gadgets etc. I'm sure he will be set up nicely, but it's not going to be millions where he can just stop trying at what should be his peak.

Literally thousands of professional footballers on this island and this forum (and some facebook groups and SM hashtags) are obsessed only with the ones who have previously played for us.

Well welll well, what’s all this then. Some interesting conversations going on here.

Good job I’m on wind down at the moment. If anything comes in within the short time remaining, then I’ll pm one or two of you to let you know.

What I can tell you, is that we have unfortunately missed out on two strikers over a period of the last three weeks. One of which has gone to a NL rival. The other was a a loan from a prominent Championship club

Here you are clout chasing and not stating any names AGAIN.

Bournemouth are a prominent Championship team and one of their strikers has just joined Scunthorpe for the season.

Do players still get 5% of the transfer fee? If so that's about £35k earned twice within 12 months plus any signing on fees. I would say he's definitely got enough to live mortgage free and pursue other interests.

I know what you mean BUT we do have a former manager at the helm, who has already brought 2 players (LJL & Pearson) back from his previous GTFC squads, and has a reputation for signing players for multiple clubs (Toto, Nolan, Henderson).  

Plus many Town fans haven't seen us score a goal at BP for 18 months+, AND Omar seems out of favour at Doncaster, so its almost inevitable that until Omar finds a settled new home, there's gonna be speculation he could be on his way here.
