Well it's Bart, Hammond,Gobern and Fonte taking on Man U all by themselves obviously with the help of the Academy.

Morgan and Gobern both in 2009.

You do not know what we might do or not do or even if we bid at all for these players. I have absolutely no idea whether we have significant money available or not. The Posh chairman said he'd had no bid from us for CMS and as for Austin no-one knows if we bid or not.Obviously any bid we might have made for him wasn't enough and that's about the end of it.All we know is that NA said significant bids had been made for a couple of players but the size of "significant" would depend on the quality of the players in question. 100K would be commensurate with a League 2 player and 50 million would be about ball park for Rooney. Brighton apparently bid 400K for Harley but he went to Swansea on a free because they're willing to loan him back for 4 months.

we might have offered 50£ plus our rejects.Having made a bid does not mean it was anything like realistic value. Millwall are said to have bid 150K£ for Puncheon ,true it's a bid but nowhere near our valuation obviously.

that can't have taken up much of your time though, bet you've been arguing with Northam Lights on 606 and won't admit it. See Weston has been telling him to watch out for legal action.

For Puncheon? you betcha,

In fact there have been quite a few cases of players signing new contracts with the precise purpose of obtaining a better deal for their club.Should we not get promotion (but we will) a 4 and a 1/2 year contract will just get us money for Lallana (and incidentally more money for Bournemouth)Although I don't know where Bournemouth would have stood if he'd moved on on a free transfer, in theory they'd get nothing.

But football is different, it's not a precise science.Sport is sport and with it go all the "aléas". It's why you can't be sacked for being crap in football and why contracts are fixed term.

As I read it you don't have to buy a ticket for Carlisle if you've already got one.Perhaps it's just misleading as is "non restricted sale ".Sales remain linked to the match against Carlisle United on Saturday 12th February, but if you have already bought a ticket for the visit of the Cumbrians, then you will not have to purchase any additional seats for that game. Not very much ambiguous there really is there.

I'd much rather it was the other way round though.

Of course he comes out of the Auxerre formation centre where the grand manitou Roux presided for a couple of decades. If you look at the players who came out of Auxerre it's like half of the French national side for 2 decades. If he's still got what it takes to have got in there in the late 90s then he can be pretty good for us.

Anyway it's thought to be about 800K maximum with a fair bit on goals and appearances. I thought we might have fancied him at that price,can't see us bidding 1.5 for Austin when we might have got Madine for about 400K down or something like that.

Confirmed. France 4 are showing 6 FA Cup games this next week-end, we're on from 18.10 to 20.00

how much did Sheff W pay for Madine just out of interest, bet it wasn't 50p

Barnard is quick, can't use both feet and has problems with his equilibria though.

Ah Austin, isn't he the bloke for whom we're supposed to have had a bid accepted and yet his manager says that only Blackpool's bid comes near their estimation of his worth. Now is that a paradox...nope both can't be true,that's not it then, aha I know what that's called...bullsh*tting.

no it gives credence to those who are suggesting it's 10 million or bust.I don't care either way personally but since somebody has been pushing pushing pushing this deal there's going to be fall out or a falling out.I don't think he's anywhere near our best player anyway.

I might even go with Butterfield instead of Richardson,

Ticket free for all from 9 am tomorrow. Even those who already have tickets can apply for more.No restrictions applicable.

Don't think AOC will be going now, Wenger is interested but not £10 million interested. If it's £10 mill now he'll go nowhere.Probably not even £7 mill

we will be getting 3 times that for our TV appearance on Saturday.

so why did we put in "significant bids" then? We obviously wanted to buy players but only up to a point.

Strange how this has gone this way. When I was at Taunton's the Catholics had their own assembly apart from all of the others. If the Headmaster had something unusual to say they came back at the end. No-one gave a toss or spoke of disrespect.

Although we have never had any proof whatsoever that this specific branch of the family owns anything like that amount. They had enough to buy the club and take us forward a bit, whether they've a billion at their disposal is something else.

In the good old days you wouldn't even get into the reception hall at Auxerre if you didn't have 2 good feet.
