BroadstairsR 0 Posted February 17, 2011 Does everything need a point. It is just a football forum after all. Incidentally, I was intrigued that £2m has risen to £3m. Does anybody know how. OP perhaps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,509 Posted February 17, 2011 They put the chicken feed on a horse that came in at 1/2[;)] I reckon it''s that we had 1m for Bennett plus 2m from Mickey F. Makes sense so long as the two amounts weren''t previously connected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yellow Rages 0 Posted February 17, 2011 the 2 mil was available before we went for Bennett, just not announced. So 2 mil it is then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yellow Rages 0 Posted February 17, 2011 Because the club told us in their statement Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PurpleCanary 5,554 Posted February 17, 2011 [quote user="Yellow Rages"]Because the club told us in their statement[/quote] -- It did:Foulger confirmed that the £2m was available to Lambert during the January transfer window. "It is a lot of money but it is earmarked solely for strengthening of the playing squad,” said Foulger. “Everyone is happy with that and it was available in January if it had been required for the transfer window."Another point is that McNally''s statement about three seven-figure bids for Bennett (so starting at not less than £1m) probably refers to potential final figures - including various add-ons - rather than the basic fee. David Cuffley said in a recent Q&A he doubted very much if we had made an unconditional £1m opening bid for a winger who''s never played above League One. And the Brighton Argus put our final bid (presumably without add-ons ) at £900,000. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,509 Posted February 17, 2011 So we may not have 2m[:O] What we may have is 2m less what we paid for Barnett, less what we paid for Tierney less the loan fee for Lansbury but plus whatever we got for The Admiral.
