fair play to the lad

how many other players of ours will end up at the Nou Camp!?

fair fucks to eidur - he promised if he was to stay in the prem it would only be with chelsea or bolton. a footballer true to his word - a rare breed.

Are we going to make a bob or two on this deal - sell on clause?

there was one

 

i guess it was time related though and has long since expired

Have you got a copy of that quote or a source?

 

Don't doubt you, just would love to see it for myself

i'll have a try mate. as i recall it was in a tv interview with skysports, but i'll have a look round when i get chance.

 

i made a mental note on it cos i thought he was the best player we've had in a very long time. but i'd thought that about alan stubbs.

 

he did say in the rest of the interview that he owed bwfc his career when they showed faith despite his injury, hence his 'promise'. of course at the time you take it with a pinch of salt, but he seems to be sticking to it.

Thought he said on soccer AM

could be soccer am. it was a few years back and my memory just isn't the same these days.

Tell me about it .. sorry bet you've forgot

I do recall he said. he always tries not to celebrate when he scores against us too. I did remember he just smiled when he banged one in last season during that rout at the Bridge but maybe he was just smiling due to the oncoming gay pile on a la Lampard and Terry that ensued. Well, I'd have been smiling if they did that to me!!

But that wouldn't be a gay pile on , just a gang bang

tell me this - if we bid ??8mill for johnson, who i think is nothing more than a good penalty taker, why on earth could we have least not tried to get eidur????

 

now i know that between bolton and barcelona, we are struggling living-standards wise, but he'd have got a game every week for us.

Bolton or Barcelona...............hmmmm...........he would have considered that for all of 2 seconds I think

You've answered your own question there.

 

Live in Bolton and run your bollox off every week or put your feet up in Barcelona?

And for the last time....

 

There is no ??8.5million. Never was and never will be.

 

It was simply a rouse to sell season tickets.

 

FFS.

do we have a sell on clause? good luck to the lad playing in the sun beats the reebok anyday

And where do you get this gem from?

 

If Everton hadn't have come in and bid, what would we have done then?

How come you are privvy to the finances of BWFC, and the rest of us are not? Unless you have conclusive proof, at this moment in time, regarding how much money is in the transfer kitty, then may I suggest you keep your mouth shut

changed our trousers

As Mick says, we would have looked pretty stupid had Everton not come in. Would we have said, sorry, we bid too high, we only meant to bid ??850K

good point on which i agree, for what its worth.

 

so why not make the bid then? he'd almost certainly saythanks but no thanks - so why not shift more season tickets?

You're all rising to a self publicist wind up merchant again.....boys, ignore her, she'll go away! That's unless you're all secretly loving it that is!

Oh come on, are you really that blinkered?

 

For the last 3 seasons we???ve had about 57p to spend on players and then all of a sudden the board sanction an ??8.5million bid for one player, and not even a proven Premiership player. Get real.

 

If Allardyce really had ??8.5 million I don???t believe for a minute he???d spend it on one player who doesn???t even fit into his hoof-n-hope way of playing football.

Not only did we bid 8.5 mill , we actully started at 8 and went up, if we didn't have the money we would have took the easy way out at 8 million.

Right here's a thought - if it was all a ploy to raise season ticket sales, don't you think it would have made more sense to bid for Eidur rather than a small bald bloke?

 

Use your brains.

Aw, your naivety is quite sweet.
