Saints Have £6.8 Million Bid Rejected !
Wednesday, 10th Aug 2016 16:24

Saints have allegedly had a bid of £6.8 million pounds rejected by Dinamo Zagreb, but will they up the offer ?

Saints have had what in effect is a bid of 8 million euros turned down by Dinamo Zagreb for midfielder Mark Rog.

21 year old Rog joined Dinamo Zagreb on a five year contract from RNK Split last summer and his impressive form has also seen him win International honours for Croatia.

His fee last summer was 5 million euros so it is fair to say that Dinamo Zagreb want a little more return on their investment with 12.8 million being touted in his home country, that means that if Saints want to land him then they will need to be looking at around 10-10.5 million euros.

He is able to play in several positions including as an attacking midfielder and as a forward in a wide position.

Rog has also been linked with a number of clubs including Liverpool, Napoli & Villareal, but the word is that Saints are keen on acquiring his services and are likely to up the bid.

Iâ€™m not screaming for marque signings or for Saints to spend money unnecessarily, but if we are hoping to bring youngsters through surely the players we do pay for should be genuine quality or not bother at all.

By that I mean significantly better than we have. This guy seems like 'one for the future' surely â€˜potentialâ€™ first team players should be our youngsters ?

If Les Reed is in charge of the offers, why does he ALWAYS insult prospective clubs with these pathetic offers. He seems to be constently riling and alienating clubs with his amateur, schoolboy negotiating crap, non existent skills. Sack the incompetent tosser now, before he cocks up his 7th window.
Replace Labanana, Puncheon, Ramires, Juanmi etc. IE, attacking midfield. Oh those who can kick the ball at the goal thingy and hopefully don't pass it to the goalie.

Knees-up Mother Brown #24 by wessex_exile

After another weekend break to spend a very enjoyable afternoon with Spireite Craig watching the U’s get a well-deserved point at runaway leader Mansfield Town, followed by promotion back to the EFL for Chesterfield, the matchday Saturdays left before the end of the season are running out. So, given I’m away again next Saturday again to join 9,000+ for the visit of Planet Hollywood, I’m going to slip in a Good Friday special ahead of what will undoubtedly be two extremely important fixtures in deciding the fate of Colchester United. On Monday the family are arriving for their traditional Easter Egg Hunt (and obligatory roast dinner), so here goes for the visit of t’other Exiles to the JobServe. Come on Col U!

Following a disappointing result at Holker Street, exacerbated by yet more poor refereeing to deny us a clear penalty in the first half and award a non-existent free-kick to give the Bluebirds a first half lead (albeit the free-kick was an absolute blinder), and the inevitable postponement of the Donny game on Tuesday, the U’s now find themselves in the relegation zone. It is what it is, and with seven of our remaining 11 games at home, our destiny is still very much in our own hands – but everyone has to do their job, both on and off the (repurposed) pitch.

Thanks to a combination of postponements and a trip to Sutton following the U’s, it has been three weeks since the last blog, as the U’s prepare to face a very tricky opponent in Barrow AFC. Since they were voted out of the football league in 1972 (arguably thanks to Ronnie Radford’s screamer against Newcastle in the Edgar Street mud), the Bluebirds spent 48 years in the non-league wilderness before their return following the Covid-19 curtailment to the 2019/20 season. Some are surprised at how well they’re doing this season, but probably shouldn’t be – under new manager Pete Wild they finished a very respectable 9th last season and are clearly aiming to improve on that this time around. Mind you, we’ve got our own new management team in place too, and whilst wins are proving elusive right now, we’re certainly making ourselves a team hard to beat.

Bill Shankly once said that form is temporary, class is permanent. He was of course correct, but let’s hope never more so than today’s visit to Wetherby Road to take on the form side of League 2, Harrogate Town. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say the Sulfurites have defied the expectations of most pundits, many tipping them to be in another relegation scrap this season. But, long-standing manager (and former player) Simon Weaver has turned things around, and they currently sit just two places and two points outside the play-offs. Weaver was rightly awarded the Sky Bet League 2 Manager of the Month for January – hope he looks after it, because it’ll be Danny’s soon.

February, and the U’s enter the most pivotal month of the season. Six games in just four weeks, with four of them against sides also in the bottom six. By March we should be either well clear of danger, or even deeper in the sh*t. With Danny Cowley’s U’s still unbeaten, and looking stronger game on game, I’m sure it’ll be the former, but first we have to do our bit to consign Steve ‘Sour Grapes’ Cotterill’s FGR back to non-league. After our shambolic 5-0 defeat at New Lawn, nothing would give me greater pleasure, even if it meant losing one of my closest awaydays in the process. What’s the excuse going to be today Steve – shocking pitch, faking head injuries, Mexican banditry or some other bit of sour-grapery bullsh*t?
