4-4-2 0 Posted July 17, 2008 As if we can''t even outbid Stockport for Thompson.!!!All we needed to do was up our bid by 50k and surely he would move here and not there.We must have the money because it looks like we had a million pound to waste on Carrol, a player who has yet to prove himself any where. Even Chris Brown scored more goals than he did at Preston!!! Come on Glen, sort it out, 150k for a proven goal scorer or 1mil for well not a lot!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

colneycanary 0 Posted July 17, 2008 I think he has to be worth the gamble. If he doesn''t make the grade here, we could always sell him on later to a league 1 team and will most certainly get what we paid for him back! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
