Hawkeye Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 got to admit, even with the russians on board, im surprised tubbs has gone there. thought he would be worth a look, but agree with the majority - not at £800k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattitheowl Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 That's just the problem,we know he has the money. The club needs to stand on its own two feet. We can't expect Milan to pour millions in every transfer window. He is in this to MAKE money. We are like the ratty old house people buy and do up with furniture from IKEA to sell at a profit. We are never going to be able to afford the top of the range kitchen with granite tops and marble floor. We can't throw the teddy out every time we miss out on a player. Just remember where we were 14 months ago! I never EVER want to go back to that. I would rather spend eternity in league 1 than have that awful time thrust upon us as fans and fear never watching my team again! Just not bothered...

AgileBeastt Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Wouldn't pay £800k. no where near worth that much.. Maybe if he can prove himself in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But doesn't Mandaric have to weight this up with the fact that if we don't do up - and signing quality like Marshall will only increase our chances of promotion - he'll lose another £4m?

Eaton_Swfc Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Id have took him for 800k, without a second glance ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juror8 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Bournemouth have had there squad cherry picked over the last couple of years. From memory they have lost Brett Pitman Josh McQuoid Danny Ings Danny Hollands Jason Pearce Rhoys Wiggins Marvin Bartley Anton Robinson Liam Feeney All those players would be good enough to get promotion to the championship for them, bet for them its nice to do it too some other team. Hadn't realised quite how many players they'd lost. If they still had those players and financial backing they've got now, they'd be the strongest side in the division. Good job they didn't get taken over sooner. I'd be gutted if we'd lost all those players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kernowl Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Seem to think he played for Salisbury City against us in the cup some years back. Just a kid back then. (remembered the odd name) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the fee is the problem though, it is the wages. OK paying £800K, but if he wants £10-12K a week that soon adds up! Just not bothered...

True mate,I will always be greatful that he saved our club and I'm well aware he is here to make money but the fact remains,if your going to shout your mouth off about bringing people in then bring them in ffs,if not then don't say anything. For what it's worth I wouldn't have paid a fraction of 800k for Tubbs but fair play to B'mouth for having a crack at it. We were warned by Leicester fans that he likes to make big noises and fails to deliver and it's starting to ring true. The price of failing to gain promotion will be far greater than a few hundred grand and I hope Milan understands that. We will have our day in the sun when Milan has decided to sell us on To richer people ie Leicester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torryowl Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Just seen that he is set to sign for Bournemouth. Does anybody remember the radio interview with our scout saying that Matt Tubbs is a great player and one that we should definitely have looked at years ago, but now keep tabs on for the future. He wouldnt be a gamble at all and would be a great player for us in this league and hopefully the championship. A but pissed that we havent gone for him to be honest. ryan lowe last season scored 29 goals for bury ,we signed him for around 50-100k( depending on who you believe) and the bloke struggles to make our starting eleven ......matt tubbs as scored 10 so far so his record aint as good as lowe's so why would you want to spend 800k on him .

Juror8 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 800k is a good deal for Bournemouth but wouldn't have been for us. They're buying the prospect as much as the player so are prepared to pay a premium. The prospect being: Tubbs' goals could be the difference between playoffs/promotion and not. Deadline day's looming; they know they're short of a goalscorer; and they seem to be prepared to throw money at it. I don't think he'd make that difference for us. They're signing him as their main striker. People are disappointed that we're not adding him as our fifth. He wouldn't walk into our team: Lowe's scoring record in those divisions must be comparable; Madine is one of the first names on the teamsheet; and it's going to be tough to drop O'Grady at the moment. Even Morrison is staking a claim. No point buying for the sake of buying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCOWL Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 800k for a 27yr old who has never played in Lg1. That's absolutely mental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 They've always viewed him as one that got away It's a massive fee for a first division club but he's a local lad who should quickly settle into their side Reminds me a bit of when Southampton signed Lambert, Tubbs goals may well carry Bournemouth to promotion next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geriatricowl Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Why do we honestly need Tubbs? He's not played above League two yet we've got Madine & O'Grady who are younger and are proven at this level. Besides we've got the prolific Lowe and Morrison. Why would we need another striker? Not a priority. Absolutely agree ! we are okay for strikers . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
