If BWFC do manage to spend ??8.5 before the start of the season, then will you come on here and admit that you were wrong?

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?

 

No, because no one would believe Eidur would sign for Bolton ??? if he was available there would have been a queue of big-name clubs from England and abroad (as Barca have proved).

 

But it???s quite believable AJ would sign as he???s playing in a lower league and is pretty much unproven at the top level.

If BWFC spend ??8,500 on transfers I will post my norks :D

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

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

 

 

She wrote a letter to Gartside complaining about one of the wheels on Stelios's car being over the line of a parking bay and our Chairman wrote back disclosing all BWFC financial secrets and transfer tactics for the summer :D

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.

 

Aw, your naivety is quite sweet.

 

My naivety, the problem we how have is that every player we try to sign there clubs now know we have at least 8.5 million to spend, so their price will go up , is that what you call a double bluff, for fcuk sake I hope you dont play poker

I will take this as a legally binding contract then :D

you have witnesses!

 

does it include signing on fees. player son free transfers dont sign for nothing

When the really big clubs start bidding for a player the whole process changes.

 

The top clubs know that the player will want to play for them so much that even a conservative bid will be accepted by the club because they know that the player will just reject any smaller teams that he doesn't want to play for. That's what's happened here. Johnson never attracted the very top clubs but he is at the very high end for the chasing pack hence the bidding war with us, Everton and Wigan.

 

Eidur vs AJ is no contest but the respective clubs that were in for the 2 is a no contest aswell.

 

Frankly there was never any chance that Eidur would've come back here as much as he does love the club. He's too good for us, sadly its as simple as that.

So that season he scored a shit load for Palace doesn't count then?

 

Question for you - why do you bother?

I will only post my norks if at least ??8500 is spent on TRANSFERS, it does not include wages for free transfers.

So one season is ???proven??? then?

 

So you think Michael Ricketts is proven Premiership class?

 

Come on, you???re just talking rubbish now just so you can argue with me.

i am not on about wages i mean signing on fees. they are part of the transfer. does the didi ??500,000 count. get them norks posted!

Ricketts didn't do a season. Johnson has.

Signing on fees do not count.

 

If Bolton pay Liverpool ??500k then I will post my norks, but until he signs on the dotted line my norks are staying safely in my 34d bra.

He desearves it!! and good luck to him. Because he is a player that Chelsea relied on last season when they won the Championship and that Barcalona have got a bargin for ??8million. Will improve Barcalonas side and will only win more things and it is a dream move for any player. Won most things in England and even if Bolton did go in for him anybody would choose Barca over Bolton. But one thing is.... Do we get a percentage of the money that he has been sold for???

we'll probably get about 60 roubles.

 

its been 6 years and as i recall, when the board were offered 4mill they nearly bit chelsea's arms off. i doubt they'd have thought that much about anything other than all that lovely money to invest in bread making ovens up at warbies.

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

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.

 

 

I'd say there's a possibility that the board, realising that they just nearly lost our all-time greatest manager to the England job, decided that the only way to keep him happy is to break the bank and invest a bit into the team. Sam has taken us from a team struggling in the second tier of English football to become a team consistantly in the top half of the Premier League. I can't really think of another gaffer who could have done that.

Gartside always stated that he budgets for 17th position. Our three consecutive higher positions have brought in significantly more than the ??8.5m he has to spend. As it was primarily the playing staff and astute team management that got the BWFC business this extra prize money why shouldn't they also reap the rewards?

eidur left on the cheap, cos all interested parties made a big play on his previous ankle trouble

 

only chelsea came up with the goods and paid up front

 

the bank saw far, far more of the sale money than bwfc

i would love nothing more than to think we had ??10mill to spend this summer.

but there's more chance of me dyeing my hair ginger.

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.

 

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.

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?

 

why waste time on bids for players we won't or don't intend on getting?

 

do people really buy season tickets based on who we bid for?

 

if so why not bid for ronaldo?

aye, looked a fat past it brazilian knacker last night, like we'd bid for that

Traf - we don't want to see your tits :-$

 

We bid ??8.5m and he chose to move to another club, and I'm prob the only one who thinks this, but AJ wouldd bang in more goals next season than Eidur. Gudjohnsen is more a playmaker than goal-poacher, his wonder goal v Wimbledon and then the shocking miss afterwards confirms this.

 

Bring back Mixu :D
