He probably watched our match against Saints on Friday. That would certainly have made his mind up.

amor was probably desperate to sign for us until he realised how nasty some fans can be on internet message boards

Standee's right on this. Hypothetically, if we were in for him, if Amor just categorically refused to negotiate terms with us it wouldn't matter how much we offered to Wakey. Saints then have no reason to match our offer, regardless of how much Wakey stamp their feet.

Oh yeah I'm aware they couldn't force him to go to the highest bidder, my suspicions arise from the fee of only 50k. Surely Wakey would be very reluctant to accept a lower offer when they are so desperate for this 400k. It all suggests to me we weren't in the running for him, and if that's true I'm disappointed. Thanks for a reply that wasn't intended as a dig |

| Quote: scarrie "I don't know how it works either but I suppose it depends how mercenary Wakefield are feeling. Perhaps Amor stated his desire to join Saints but Saints wouldn't offer more than £50k. Wakefield then accepted Saints offer as a compromise between getting as much cash as possible and getting Amor a club he found acceptable. Just a possible scenario.
Wakefield seem a decent club so it seems plausible to me, I'd hope Hull would conduct themselves in a similar manner.
Of course it's possible we were never in for him but I don't see how we can lambast the club for not outbidding Sts when we don't really have a clue what went on.'"
I am sure if we were in for him that could have very likely happened, it's just disappointing to see a good young, English prop (a position in which we are in need) go to a rival club for such a small fee. I'd like to see us be ruthless in the market as other teams would be, Wakefield's loss should be our gain, however sad it is for the sport. |

How long did he have left on his contract though, wasn't it only a year? Reckon 50k wouldn't be far off the value of the remainder of his contract if so. |

We should have made him a priority. Saints recruitment has been excellent so far.

Maybe the case,but I think we have both missed out on the best available prop for different reasons. |

If Wakefield don't accept your offer then you Can't speak to the player. If Hull had offered 80k then He'd have only been allowed to speak with Hull as Saints and Rovers both offered 50k. It would have been for Saints to match Hulls offer. Hull obviously didn't offer as much because Wakefield accepted two bids of 50k for Amor. One of those from Rovers and the other Saints.
Amor was then given permission to speak with both clubs and choose Saints. You win some you lose some. |
