Tamas *ALL THREADS MERGED*

Not 10 feckin days more complicated though! Methinks his swarm of representatives are holding things up...

 

Simple enough answer to that chum.......dont open the thread if it annoys you so much.

Me ? I'm not bored by it at all.

 

all i know that you need to offer in a conract is wages'contract length'bonuses and clauses

 

Signing on fee, relegation clauses (not any worries about that in this case!), appearance fees (also not relevant here), goal / assist bonuses, release clauses.....

A lot of p^sh to be worked through, but it's been shown to be an easy process in some cases - sadly not here tho!

 

Maybe celtic are playing mind games !

 

with a guy whos had more clubs than tiger woods IMO we need to be a bit more careful

 

Unmerge my thread

 

Despite this plethora of agents he has surrounding him (all wanting as lucrative a cut as possible, understandably), i take these lengthy negotiations to be an indicator - right or wrong - of a lack of passion on his part for this move. People can say a lot about Samaras, but at least he was willing to take a pay cut to come here as he really has a love for the club after his little stint here before - to this end, i am a large fan of his already. With Tamas, there isn't that same feeling whatsoever - his track record is similar to Anelka's in some regards - (the Tiger Woods comment made previosuly was very apt), and a combination of these factors has me more than a tad anxious. As every day goes on, THAT is what irks me, mi compadre.

 

Hauners ?

I think you need some back-up with your view point Hammer.

I cant understand why people are getting so wound up over this. Dont believe everything you read in the papers or other sites guys.

Contracts/Contract negotions arent as simple as Tamster makes out. Its no secret that the nature of the contracts we are offering allow for a slightly lower weekly wage but with larger performance related bonuses.
To me performance related contracts for footballers seems to be the way forward (no more high earners sitting back earning £30k a week for sitting on the reserve bench)
Peter Lawell is working on this signing to improve the strength of the playing squad as well as maintaining the clubs financial strength.

In short he is working in all of our interests, have faith.

 

I agree with that stance 100%, i must agree - and my levels of frustration are not directed WHATSOEVER to a man who has orchestrated the long-term futures of the big 3.

I would just have thought that bearing in mind the actual TERMS of the contract must be being scrutinised to the most minor of details, the duration of these talks is very surprising. That and the fact that he will be more than trebling the money he's on anyway!

 

Ehh ?

I was agreeing with you ! ......."backing you up"

 

I think it's you that couldn't be "more simpler".

Transfers take time, this has perhaps taken longer than Pat McCourt but that's because it's a big signing with lots of agents involved. I can't wait for the announcement.

 

im happy to wait a week or two for him if they want 3 million for him and we haggle with them and 2 weeks later we get him for half that or whatever.......thats good business i trust lawwell to get us a good deal

 

Think you missed my point or i put it the wrong way.

We all know these things have the small print to iron out as per usual.

My point is that Celtic MUST have the bottom line offer they are prepared to pay.

How long does it take to say "take it or leave it" ???


All this commotion over a guy that NOBODY else apparently wants to sign !

 

here mate.... how long does it take to sign a contract ???
Lawell should just have put a take it or leave it offer, it shouldnt be a hard decision. Its not that the negotiations are easy its the choice of club which SHOULD alone be enough to make this guy sign. Yeah i know that lots of agents are involved but its the player who makes the final decision.

Your the simpleton

 

i think some of us needs a time out from this transfer. alot of fustration over prolonged negotiations. we better get used to it as i see it becoming a regular theme with future signings.

you should have a pint of Guinness during this period. as they say, 'good things comes to those who wait.'
