Double edged sword. A player or agent wouldn't think twice about doing it the other way round if they got a last minute sniff of a more lucrative move. Harsh but they are the rules of the jungle. Some you win, some you lose. If we get a sniff of a better deal we've got to take it. This…..probably exactly what happened with Redmond?

Until I see Travers holding up the scarf in front of the entrance to Clayton Wood I’m saying nothing……..

It’s business, if the club think they’ve got a better opportunity then fair play.
I’d also take it with a pinch of salt. Despite Sarkic coming across well in interviews, social media etc. I have it on good authority that his attitude was very poor.

I think this one will come back to bite us on the arse.
The lad is a very solid keeper and a steady head at this level. Certainly good enough for a playoff chasing team. He wanted to come and play for us, would've been able to stay local and we had the deal practically done.
Proper shithouse move by Stoke. If we don't end up getting Travers now we will look very fucking stupid.
You can guarantee Sarkic will end up getting a good move to another Champo team, and have a blinder against us.

It works both ways, AN has said before that he's had players driving to sign for him then turn the car round and go and sign for someone else literally last minute. Also if its in the sun its probably rubbish.

we have been told we have a competative budget so if we could not agree terms with Sarkic he must be asking for to much,if thats the case good riddance we move on

If this report is accurate, hope it doesn’t have any impact on Hoever assuming we are in for him.

I think travers has been out number 1 target and we kept Sarkic alive just as back up.

What's the odds on us getting Travers and him hardly playing due to injury and Sarkic going to another Champo club and not missing a game.

I think he's called Travers not Travis, not that I've ever heard of him! Either way I'm sure he would not wish to be mistaken for disgraced former Radio 1 DJ Dave Lee Travis aka 'the hairy cornflake' 😉

Travers is a really good keeper. He's an Irish international, competing with Bazunu and Kelleher for the starting position (one area where we are strong!). I'm pretty sure he went to school at Confey College in Leixlip, Co. Kildare, and was a year ahead of Nathan Collins. My wife taught there at the time, but she doesn't remember teaching either of them.

Only those at the club will no what has gone on.
But, perhaps:
*Stoke want their own permanent GK this season and are prepared to push the boat out for a proven one of high quality.
*The opportunity to sign Travers on a permanent deal has unexpectedly presented itself.
*Travers has signed already.
*Stoke then immediately withdrew their offer to Sarkic#
#Highly doubt that Stoke would reduce their offer to Sarkic when they could just withdraw it; especially if Travers was their preferred GK target and Stoke know it is done and dusted.

I know Sarkic was house hunting locally just after he'd signed for us on loan, he had a viewing at my mates house (Wasn't Trentham 😉🤣) so guessing he was planning on staying local at that point in time whether it be he stayed at Wolves, or came to Stoke permanently.
Regards the player, we may have left him in limbo and blocked his negotiated move at the final hurdle. As others have alluded to, players wouldn't hesitate in doing likewise to us. Not saying Sarkic would definitely have gazumped us, but he most likely would have, so this kind of thing is dog eat dog!
As for Wolves, we still owe them massively some level of skullduggery for flogging us Afobe at a huge profit a few days after re-signing him back from Bournemouth!

No it's not a good look on us, but if it benefits us in the end? it could fuck us up if we want anyone else from wolves

The reality is, we're getting a better goalkeeper and saving over a million which can go be used on other transfers, it's good business. Sarkic will get another move and should quickly get over it, probably on the afternoon he rocks up at the Bet365 and has a blinder against us undoubtedly.

Dont get signing Travers on loan* unless we need the money that had been used to sign Sarkic to go towards another permanent signing.
* only because the club have suggested their preference is permanent.

Could we loan Travers and get a possible permanent deal included? A bit surprised we walked away from the Sarkic deal!
