William Darby 0 Posted June 23, 2010 It''s an investment on a 23 year old. Not a ''kiss it all goodbye'' on a 30 something[:)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matt crowhurst 0 Posted June 23, 2010 think as well as someone said on another thread that we were owed money for the shackell transfer so we probably only paid the £500,000 with the rest what we were owed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
singing canary 0 Posted June 23, 2010 agree with that .... but this also says we have some serious money clout . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Someone has found more money than you or I will ever see in a lifetime and put it into the club so that we can sign this player. That is an awesome commitment which i respect.

The Walking Man 13 Posted June 23, 2010 Nobody outside the two clubs should know because the fee is undiscclosed, but i''d be amazed if the fee was 1.2million after all that''s what Wolves paid for him and has then had a season of not playing. Regarding the potential discount from the Shackell sale, that may have been negated when we got him back on loan i.e. Wolves waiving a loan fee... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
singing canary 0 Posted June 23, 2010 agreed, but somewhat stunned from a club who say they are skint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Essex_Canary 6 Posted June 23, 2010 I''ll go with Lazy journalism from the E&S mob. Its reported that Wolves paid £1.2m for him last summer, so the journo has taken a look and thought "I know they''ll want to recoup what they paid, therefore he must have been sold for £1.2m"The Daily Mail are reporting that he''s cost us £500k which I think is far more likely.We could fill an entire matchday squad with midfielders at the moment!!

I am a Banana 0 Posted June 23, 2010 I think the 1.2m people are talking about is rubbish, we couldn''t afford to pay that and then another 5-8k a week in wages! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
