It's been widely reported that it was £250k, as was the Ipswich bid that was also rejected. Obviously, we've no way of knowing for certain, but these things have a tendency to leak out, all our deals have been 'undisclosed' this season, but we still know pretty much what they all were. I wonder if we won't bother signing a left back at all now, Brandon Flemming might end up being back-up.
Yes, people claim that the only reason other clubs, from smaller cities especially, get higher crowds is there is nothing to do there every time crowds are mentioned. Nothing to with them being more football orientated places of course.
Kinnel. Could we put up with the moodiness and the irrationality and the ‘if you really don’t know why then I can’t explain whys’ just for one game in every five?
If Kingsley plays like he did at the start of the season Fleming could be 1st choice, then destined to sack us off at the end of the season like Clark and Tymon
We can moan about missing out on Townsend but if he really went for £700k, given the tight funding, I'm not sure that would have been a good use of what little cash super nige has to spend. There must be some half decent kid available to loan from somewhere.
Butterfield lives in Leeds and his wife is from Hull. I know his wife's parents. He was on loan at that massive club Sheff Wed last season but didn't do much for them. He is on a massive salary at Derby so will only be coming here if Derby pay most of it.
Given that we had a 40% sell on clause with Townsend would we have had to pay the £700000 or £4200000 with the 40% deducted not sure how the 40% clause would have worked if at all, if we'd bought him.
The source for that Butterfield story is garbage, it's just someone on Twitter who claims to be an ex-agent, but has barely any followers after running transfer stories for a year.
