RW interview after Burton

[B.whitehouse+10more]

And that will probably be 18 or 19 year old academy players as per last season.

I think we have as it stands a really good squad of players, and Ritchies work with them is coming to fruition as shown in recent displays. It has been stated the aim this season is to stay in league 1 then to move on next season. This is why new investors are being sought by the club to provide the finance to buy the right players in the summer. If Agyei wants to move on then let him there are others out there just as good if not better. Look at where Josh Koroma, Bonne, and Dalby are now not exactly setting the world on fire. January is an awful time to get players in , there will be lots of desperate clubs out there paying well over the odds for players who are probably over the hill. I don’t want my club to be amongst them.

[Hoover Attack]

We have a really good squad of players and are aiming to stay in League 1? That doesn’t make sense.

[The Reverend]

Interesting you change your views like the weather!

Can you point me in the direction of a single comment where I’ve said that I think we will be impressed with the January transfer activity….

Still using words to suit your own agenda.

My agenda being what exactly? Asking people to back up false statements they make about me?

[Bandy Legs]

We have an option on Galbraith for 25/26, so he can’t walk for nothing in the summer

Re number of loans, we are trying to sign Keeley, odds on Hemming returns to ‘Boro, that will mean we have 4 loans, space for one or two more, although obviously can only have 5 in the match day squad.

Where have you read we are trying to sign Keeley?

Only on here I think or X don’t think there is anything from the club

Just signed a new contract at Spurs until 2027.
And some people think we are in with a chance of signing him

It’s been in several interviews, one was with Josh referring to talks between Spurs & O’s, another was with an O’s director(?) , can’t remember who , so it’s not what we think, it’s what the player & club have said. I doubt very much they are making it up. Whether it happens is another matter entirely.
Oh, and RW said we’re trying to sign one of the loanees, when DD said who, RW wouldn’t say other than it ain’t Currie, Kelman, Donley, Perkins. Pick the bones out of that, it ain’t Hemming!

The Interview Richie said
" Josh has just signed a new Spurs contract & is at a Premier League club & is out of our league".
Perkins is at Leeds & is on big wages Donley is also a premier League player, Currie isn't the one because Oxford still want him.
Richie said Charlie Kelman is out of contract in June, so from 1st of January he is allowed to talk to clubs.

[PKM]

Ritchie in the interview said we can’t afford Charlie’s wages and would have to pay a fee, so no chance re Kelman.
Maybe RW’s just playing his cards close to his chest, but JK said quite clearly that Spurs/O’s are in talks.

[The Reverend]

We have a really good squad of players and are aiming to stay in League 1? That doesn’t make sense.

To be fair he didn’t qualify in what context we have a “really good squad of players”.

I agree that we do have a “really good squad of players”… for league 2.

[Bandy Legs]

Ritchie in the interview said we can’t afford Charlie’s wages and would have to pay a fee, so no chance re Kelman.
Maybe RW’s just playing his cards close to his chest, but JK said quite clearly that Spurs/O’s are in talks.

Please put the clip up where Richie said we are in for Donnelly & Kelmans wages are unaffordable so we can see for ourselves.

Whatever Charlie’s extortionate wages are right now, no one is going to offer him similar next contract.

I think we have the makings of a good squad but a couple of weaknesses, most notably in the forward position where only Agyei can lead the line, the wings where we miss Theo and Graham badly, and the 10 where we only have Galbraith.

I remember this one, it was on the Richie Q&A with Orient Outlook.

Just had a look and the ep was left at the end of the interview, found the exact quote in the captions...

Episode 371 around 15 minutes in:

"...again we can't afford Charlie's wages..."
"we'd have to pay a fee for Charlie so that's a no-go as well"

Also later on there's a discussion about Keeley where Richie says he's a player we're interested in signing on a permanent deal

[PKM]

Thanks gshaw for that post

Bandylegs, I didn’t say RW said we are in for Donley, it’s the opposite, he’s on premier league wages that we can’t afford.

Be great if we can sign Keeley, think he’s a real prospect

[B.whitehouse+10more]

Still using words to suit your own agenda.

My agenda being what exactly? Asking people to back up false statements they make about me?

Wellens has clearly had orders from the top to set low expectations about January. We desperately need some investors who are actually willing to spend. Grateful for everything the current owners have done but clearly they have run out of interest and/or cash. Going to be very hard justifying season ticket price increases again if they consistent bring in freebies and loanees kids every transfer window.


Interesting how the piece above was deleted from the conversation as my comments related to this. First of all what proof do do you have to use the word “clearly” twice in your above statement, first he clearly has orders from the top to set low expectations about January, secondly the owners have clearly run out of interest and or cash, just because they are looking for new investors show they have the clubs best interest at heart as they have done since they stepped in and saved the club from administration , you do them a great disservice. Finally what proof do you have season ticket prices will be rising next season, as according to your recent comments we are building a squad for league 2.

It’s not what you say it’s more the way you empathise it with words that are not actually true mate just tone it down a bit

Was also said that Spurs moved quickly to get that new contract sorted when they heard of our interest in signing Keeley during the summer.

Doesn't really make any sense for Spurs to be in a rush to sell him even if he's never making their first team. Having taken to League 1 football so well you'd think it'd be worth them trying him out at Championship level which would increase any potential transfer fee by a significant chunk.

Or any of our loanees. It's what other clubs are prepared to pay for the division they are in.

What a doubly hilarious post.

First you reply to your own comment (I guess you forgot to log into the other alias account first…??). And the comment you reply to is having a dig at me for not including something from earlier in the conversation yet you elected to remove the most important bit of the conversation: the thing I was actually replying to (where somebody falsely accused me of changing my opinion about January transfers).

You’ve had an absolute nightmare here. What’s even funnier is that some of your criticism of my original post is actually fair enough but you’ve completely misunderstood what I was responding to Cockhat about in the first place.

[faith1234]

Well we all know what that means more loanees great fgs sell so.e dead weight moncur

[Bandy Legs]

Ritchie in the interview said we can’t afford Charlie’s wages and would have to pay a fee, so no chance re Kelman.

Maybe RW’s just playing his cards close to his chest, but JK said quite clearly that Spurs/O’s are in talks.

So no confirmation that RW or one of the Directors have said we're signing Premier league player Keeley contracted to Spurs till 2027 & would cost a fee & who is on Premier League wages which are more than Championship wages, but we can't afford Kelman

Please put the clip up where Richie said we are in for Donnelly & Kelmans wages are unaffordable so we can see for ourselves.

I remember this one, it was on the Richie Q&A with Orient Outlook.

Again nothing OFFICIAL, just an informal chat between our manager & players in a perfect world he'd like to sign & 2 unofficial podcasters who are O's fans is your link to RW saying we are signing Keeley OFFICIALLY rather than something OFFICIAL by LOFC.

Very strange contribution to the thread

[Bandy Legs]

Bandylegs, I didn’t say RW said we are in for Donley, it’s the opposite, he’s on premier league wages that we can’t afford.

Be great if we can sign Keeley, think he’s a real prospect

I didn't say you said anything about Donley.

I quoted what RW said, however as we can't afford Donleys wages, can I ask you how we could afford Keeleys being he is also a Premiership player on Premiership wages at the same Premiership club Donley is at on wages you have just stated we can't afford?

[RedDwarf 1881]

We have a really good squad of players and are aiming to stay in League 1? That doesn’t make sense.

It does when you add Clare , Archibald and Graham who are all out injured and not contributing. In my opinion If Archibald and Graham were fully fit I think we’d be in a playoff spot at the moment

Donley Tottenham think could make it and holds good value either in for Tottenham in the future or probably 10 mil from a Championship club, Keeley they don't value at all really thus he will be on low wages

You think Theo and Graham would add eight points? Theo is so overrated on here and Graham hasn't played more than about 6 games in a row in three years
