Moderators Casino Posted May 24, 2006 Moderators Share Posted May 24, 2006 fair enough but he's not going to anybody that won't meet jordans valuation wigan area godsend for jordan a small club, wholl never attract 'big' players (bit like us) but with cash to burn jordan couldn't have wished for anybody better than wigan in this auction cept pompey, maybe #-o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyjoojar Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Think our judgement is clouded somewhat, but still i can't imagine him wanting to go to wigan. We are a well established prem team, they have yet to do that. I would be gutted if those cunts get him for just half a mil more than we bid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mounts Kipper Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Jordan aint stupid he wants to keep Johnson thats why he has accepted wigans bid knowing full well johnson does not want to sign for them, johnson has now stated he will wait until his world cup future is decided, this is buying time to see if any other clubs are interested.

Out of the 3 Clubs that are supposed to be in for him, I doubt any look that much of an attractive destination, me thinks he would wait for a London Club to come n for him!

Moderators Zico Posted May 24, 2006 Moderators Share Posted May 24, 2006 quotes from Jordan on BBC regarding Wigan's bid One club's close to matching our valuation. But whether Andrew Johnson decides to join that club is another matter. aye, says it all to me and then, from the BBC It is claimed that the striker, who scored 21 goals for the Eagles in their Premiership season in 2004/05, would prefer a move to Everton.

yardbones Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Today's Guardian reckons Portsmouth, Spurs and Arsenal are waiting in the wings and that Everton will struggle to pay over ??8million.

jayjayoghani Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/5011266.stm Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan has accepted Wigan's ??8.5m offer for Andy Johnson and warned Bolton and Everton they must raise their bids. Bolton have offered ??8m for the 25-year-old striker, while Everton are prepared to pay ??7.25m. "Wigan are in the box seat," said Jordan. "Everton and Bolton are very keen to have the player's services, but they need to get a move on. "Wigan have offered money I consider reasonable and on the terms I want."

xxxxxx Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I think we should offer ??8.5m, if that what it takes to get him.....not too much more than we first offered. He would surely come to Bolton before Wigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
