Rupethebear 0 Posted January 28, 2011 Just had a text from the Brighton camp suggesting a £1.5M bid has been received. The boy wants to leave and so things look good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,345 Posted January 28, 2011 Only thing that can stop this now is their owner/chairman making a stand for the purposes of saving face in front of their supporters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coelho 0 Posted January 28, 2011 Another £1.5m spent if this is true, this is really ambitious stuff. Who was the last player we actually sold for more than a nominal fee? I just hope all this investment isn''t contingent on us getting promotion this season, and that we''ll end up having to sell in the summer if we don''t go up. Somehow I don''t get the feeling McNally would be that short-termist, but it just makes you realise how much penny-pinching must have been going on in the last five years. ''Prudence with ambition'' has been replaced with ''speculate to accumulate'', and I like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CRAZY LEGS 0 Posted January 28, 2011 just hope someone like burnley don''t out bid uscould happen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e10_yellow 0 Posted January 28, 2011 Nah, Burnley are too busy enticing Charlie Austin away from Ipswich, who appear to have royally screwed everything up on personal terms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joanna Grey 0 Posted January 28, 2011 Something I have always been confused about - If Burnley were to outbid us and even offer better terms but then Bennett turned around and said that he did not want to go there but wished to come to us instead what would happen?

Rudolph Hucker 0 Posted January 28, 2011 I''ve nothing against Brighton or the amiable Gus Poyet. I hope they gain promotion. Brighton are trying to reach up as we are and I think Tony Mac could do a job for them. Cash plus player would satisfy me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

O.T.B.C 0 Posted January 28, 2011 Does your boyfriend know you''re here?Anyway, hope he does sign. We have unsettled him, which is wrong in some respects. We have had this done to us many times, but this may ust show that we have moved forward and will do many things to get some success. Long may it continue.

Rudolph Hucker 0 Posted January 28, 2011 How long ago in a process like this would Neil Doncaster have said okay and sorry before giving up! Lambert is clearly given every support from his Chief Exec and Chair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kdncfc 27 Posted January 28, 2011 In many ways I admire what their chairman is trying to do but the sad fact is that once a player wishes to leave a club the only sensible way out is to grant his request and get as much as you can for him, no point in trying to keep a player who wishes to leave. We''ve had this happen to us on many occasions and in some ways I feel for their fans cos it''s a horrible feeling when your best players leave. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
