Pigott will be more than happy to stay and get paid for doing f all till his contract runs outDuvB wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2024 11:57 amPigott is on big money reputedly, so I wonder who will take him especially on last season's form. We may have to subsidize his salary or if no-one takes him, even pay up his contract. Oh dear
I suspect we do still 'believe we 'get a discount' which is why he's never keen to accept our first offer.Long slender neck wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 7:25 pmProbably get somebody on a free like most our signings.Bergen wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 6:43 pmHow much will we have to pay for a better striker who scored 13 goals (or more) last season?Long slender neck wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 6:12 pm Has always contriubted a good number of goals, but at the same time not so many that he's irreplaceable
As for wages, I dont know what Ruel is on or commands now. Market rate I guess. We dont get a discount because he's come through our ranks.
You mean , just like last season .Ski Sunday wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2024 12:25 pmPigott will be more than happy to stay and get paid for doing f all till his contrsct runs out
Seen the articles about this. Well within his right to move on but not too gutted he is off...could have had 20+ goals had he not missed the easy chances!
BRISTOL ROVERS !!!

Have they offered him £75 pw more !!!!
All the same I'm surprised he would move to Bristol Rovers . I was expecting if he left it would be for a club like Peterborough.Loyal_Supporter wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2024 4:13 pmIf the guy doesn't want to be here then they can go.

Yeah true...maybe shows his ambition? Or maybe that he thinks he can't play higher than League 1?RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2024 4:25 pmAll the same I'm surprised he would move to Bristol Rovers .

I meant no disrespect to Rovers, Saxon . It’s just that Peterborough seemed to be odds on his most likely destination.east saxon gas wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2024 4:50 pmtish tish - the Gas is a destination of choice for all aspirationsRedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2024 4:25 pmAll the same I'm surprised he would move to Bristol Rovers .

(not really, but I think I'm probably pleased about this. Bristol Post says we are 'closing in on a swoop' - which I think means that discussions are quite advanced, but it's not yet a done deal
What we really need is to offload Pigott. He’s had plenty of chances at Orient but it just hasn’t worked out for him or us .Top of the JES wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2024 5:06 pm Whatever we get for Ruel will boost our fund for securing El Mizouni.

Disagree, I think he’s a decent forward but not an out and out strikerBIGRON wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2024 5:52 pmAgyei is a donkeyCurrywurst and Chips wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2024 5:37 pm If he leaves our only remaining striker is a donkey who scored two goals all season
No surprise there, tries to hold the club to ransom each time his contract ends. Glad they've not given in, he's not worth paying through the nose for. Now get someone who wants to be here and preferably can trap a ball and pass itwe have an agreed budget and wage structure here and it is important for the long-term stability of the club that we stick to that. Myself and all of the footballing staff are aligned on that.
