E I E I E I O 0 Posted June 29, 2007 Why is Cureton an Undisclosed fee?????Earnshaw''s was not! I will tell you why:So as none of us Know how much of the Earnshaw sale has gone back into the transfer fund! The board will spend about 2 Million with Marshall £750,000 of that! Then tell us They have spent it all! Watch the next few signings be Un-disclosed fees while they bank and invest money on Non-Football issues!They are a joke: 1 out for 3.5 Million - 1 in Undisclosed to date and 2 freebies!!

Time to go Delia 0 Posted June 29, 2007 Its because we have paid almost a million for an old 32 year old whos real worth is £200,000 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grando 336 Posted June 29, 2007 Because they''re embarassed that they''ve had to panic spend £750,000 on a 32-year-old - matching the sum that Colchester wanted (funny that we never seem to get anything near the amounts we want).Grant is pretty blameless in this, and there''s always hope that Cureton will do his stuff, but the board are chumps when it comes to wheeling and dealing, make no mistake...

Huddy 0 Posted June 29, 2007 You seem to forget the multi-million pound bids for Sharp and Varney. Your evidence doesnt exactly give a balacned view of events does it.I don''t know why there is an undisclosed fee, it happens alot but it aint exactly rocket science. Colchester valued him at 750k i think, so i would guess that we paid roughly that. The NCFC board would expect us to work that out, and i can''t understand all this rubish to be honest. It clearly leaves around £2 Million, plus the extra kitty invested (which i believe is there). I''m afraid you negative, whingers are clutching at straws just to get your daily moan at the board out, to help you sleep better.If i''m wrong, and we dont spend i''m sorry and i will be venging my fury with you...... but please wait and see.

Freeza 0 Posted June 29, 2007 It is odd, you can only hope they''re trying to keep their cards close to their chest so that other clubs dont know how much we''ve got to spend.Col U were asking for £750k tho weren''t they?It is frustrating for us fans but hopefully beneficial to the club in the long run.

In Dubious Battle 0 Posted June 29, 2007 [quote user="ncfc1"]Its because we have paid almost a million for an old 32 year old whos real worth is £200,000[/quote]Why would we pay more than colchester were asking? i know our board can make foolish decisions but that would be incredible!I believe they wanted £700,000, quite a lot still if we paid that but if his goals fire us into the prem it''d be money well spent. Remember he was last seasons top scorer in the championship to say he is worth 200,000 is a little silly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr Terrible 0 Posted June 29, 2007 Cureton was for sale at 700,000 so i reckon after a haggle we probably got him for 600,000Jamie done well last year but now we need to buy a proven scorer at this level to partner him.Martin is still learning and Brown does not fill anyone with confidence.If we are to believe the board were not intending to sell earnshaw and replace him with jamie, sharp, or eastwood they need to prove it by bringing in a partner for jamie.If we believe the board were going to sign eastwood, sharp or jamie anyway aswell as marshall{ 500,000+ for marshall, 2m for sharp,3.5m in for earnie} we now have 6m minus around 600,000 for jamie so leaving us with around 5.4m to spend-say 1.4m in wages for new players we have 4m left to spend on players.Does anyone believe we will spend 4m on players?

renegade tootsie 0 Posted June 29, 2007 What really worries me about all this is the bloody fixation with strikers! Our club and fans are obsessed with them!
