Matthew Le God 585 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Amazing that somebody paid £6 million for Dave Kitson, football truly is a fantasy world.... I see your Dave Kitson, and I raise you Ade Akinbiyi. I see your Akinbiyi and raise you Ali Dia on a free transfer and actually playing a game. Well done Graeme... Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Holden 102 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I see Burnley have signed Luke O'Neill.Will be disappointing if he turns out to be good as one that got away. He played a couple of times for the first team but never really looked up to it, but he was raved about as a youngster in the academy for years. Hopefully a good prospect for the future, but he'd better be as cover for Trippier rather than a replacement. Link to post Share on other sites
G-Man11 2,241 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 All of this talk has reminded me that we spent £5 million on Lee Hughes ffs Link to post Share on other sites
SCIAG 1 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Have you got a link to support that? I know one of the coaches in the Sunderland academy and when i mentioned that he nearly pee'd himself. Says thats not even close to being true. http://www.metro.co.uk/sport/football/867836-connor-wickham-clause-gives-future-transfer-hope-to-spurs-and-liverpool £8m up front apparently. The Mirror mentioned a similar up front fee. Amazing that somebody paid £6 million for Dave Kitson, football truly is a fantasy world.... It was £4.5m rising to £5.5m, and he'd had a great season. Until about February he was the top English goalscorer in the PL despite playing in a relegated team who gave him very little service. No settled right winger, and Stephen Hunt on the left (when he wasn't on the right). Link to post Share on other sites
Powlay 0 Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 IIRC, it was nearer £6m and addons. the winning the league bit is totally made up as well. Link to post Share on other sites

cms186 344 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 i think the story was something like he would have settled for 20k, leeds opened at 30k and ridsdale took his look of suprise to be one of anger at the pitiful offer and upped it to 40k before johnson or his agent could say a word Link to post Share on other sites

kstoyle 18 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Any Peterborough fans on here? Rumours you have bid for our (Torquay) keeper Bobby Olejnik, but I see on Sky you have bid £400k for the Gillingham Gazzinga. Is it likely you would have bid for 2 League two keepers?

kstoyle 18 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Olejnik is an excellent keeper. Probably the best I have seen in supporting Torquay for 20+ years. He is far, far too good for League 2. Link to post Share on other sites
