Looks like he's gone to the pie-eaters for ?4m.

Unless it was a pre-signed agreement (which I'm guessing it isn't considering Bolton want more) then I don't see the issue. He was their player of the season and pretty much kept them up. How would his stock not rise on the back of that? I'd tell them to fuck off out of principle. Infact I'd prefer not to sell to local rivals, but then again, we don't know what Coyle had planned for de monies.

Whelan is a fucking cunt. Even if he offers 4m tell him 5m, the guy is an arsehole.

Supply and demand. Senile old cunt.

I am surprise the senile old cunt is paying in pound sterling, I expect him to correct himself and start paying in old money in the next few days.

Let him whinge

 

It means fuck all

 

Bolton upsetting folk again

 

I fucking love it, it's been too long

?3m was for a reserve goalkeeper with less than a dozen games behind him in the PL.

 

We're only asking ?4m for the current Player of the year at a Premier League club, with almost 50 games under his belt.

 

So Whelan only rates his club's current best performer at less than ?4m?

 

?4m should only be the starting point for a deal: there should be various add-ons etc.

I'd rather sell him to Villa for ?3.75m than to Wigan for ?4m.

 

Or 5million

Start the car.

 

better deal for both BWFC & AAH.

Indeed well done us for a change held out for asking price now and could come out if it better off (moneywise without the debate of better keeper etc)

Or 5million

All paper talk but if we won't budge from ?4m why don't villa just offer 4.01m? Or 3.9m even? What do they gain by offering ?1m over asking price?

[/quote ]why is it that it only seems to be us that cant sell a player for his true valuation, al habsi player of the year at wigan specialist position on pitch 29 year old cant get 4 million, should be at least 5 million, cahill england international, premiership regular cant get 17million, should be 20 million, yet jones blackburn played hardly any games 16 million no prob, henderson one cap one decent season in pem 20 million no prob. this may change of course but we never seem to be able to get the true worth like other clubs do.

You can't compare young players with Cahill, who at their age was sold for ?5m. He might be worth a bit more now, but not much. Being an England international doesn't help. They are better prospects than him, simple.

And then again, Carlos, they might not turn out to be any good and that'll be another ?15m-?20m down the plughole. They're taking more of a risk.

Villa maybe offering a deal that Wigan cannot match, 5 million maybe more than pies want or can afford to pay?

we could want 4m up front.

 

villa may be offering 3m the 2m on appearance etc.,

 

 

101 coombinations, but hopefully wigan be left pissed off.

I really, really hope he goes to Villa.

Is that not the definition of a prospect?

Yep ..... and isn't the implication of 'a prospect' a significantly higher risk investment ?

Back to the pies, the bit at the bottom doesnt really fill me with desire

 

The Oman international is being sold by Bolton to raise funds for targets including Birmingham striker Cameron Jerome.

If we sign Cameron jerome, we are going backwards!

Fortunately, although it was from the Mirror, it wasn't written by Alan Nixon

Not that adding Nixon's name to it adds any credibility IMO.

i reckon we're signing him to replace SKD this time next season hardworking type and a big unit leading the line as opposed to banging in 12-15 goals a season - he would appear to have the "package" from a physical point of view and with a bit of coyles magic dust he could be a decent player plenty young enough to improve - remember when we signed some stiff on a free from southampton he's gone on to be a legend and england international.....

no, no, no , no , no, no

no, no, no , no , no, no

Yes maybe - if he's our "goals" for next year we're in deep shit, I always try and look on the brightside....
