???? 0 Posted October 8, 2009 Why has our offer for Seaborne been made so public? in the past our offers for players were hardly ever made public were they?Now ive never heard of this player before, but apparantly he is quite highly rated, now its made public surely this has come to the attention of other clubs (bigger clubs) after a cheap young defender. And may ruin our chances of signing him...bad move by the club. agree? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
O.T.B.C 0 Posted October 8, 2009 I would imagine that it would be Exeter wanting more money and getting other clubs interested for a bidding war. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graham Humphrey 13 Posted October 8, 2009 Not sure if he''d be too bothered about the opinions of a bunch of people who have probably never even heard of the guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Perryman says it was a derisory offer - it may have been "five figures" but we believe it to be below £50,000 (You paid that for Cody). Perryman says: "There are reports that Norwich offered a player in exchange but that is completely untrue. The Norwich valuation is a complete joke. I accept that we may well lose him to a bigger club but we are not going to lose him for the sort of money they are offering. Norwich wrote to us with an offer which is completely unrealistic.".

Camuldonum 0 Posted October 8, 2009 Nope. You ended up very close to £50k for Cody but there are add ons - sell ons, first team appearances, goals scored. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
