    Yes Norway but they are just boys, unless of course we are trying to get the very youngest first team average age:)

    I know it's hard to be patient but we all knew DG was going to go (and as I write he is still our player) & the first Buckley offer came in nearly a month ago now.
    Any others are just unfounded rumours at this stage so it's just scaremongering to suggest a fire sale.

    Most free agents become available from 30th June so any signings from out of contract players won't happen till well into July although i hope that when DG does put pen to paper we see swift signings to bolster the squad.

    Here are the main details:

    The Hornets and the Seagulls agreed the deal, which also includes a sell-on clause for Watford,
    meaning they would receive 15 per cent of any amount above £1million should Albion sell the
    winger in the future.
    Buckley cost an initial £200,000 from then League 2 Rochdale in January 2010. Appearance clauses
    in his contract meant that this figure eventually rose by a further £39,000.
    Dale's sell-on clause, built into the deal which brought Buckley to Vicarage Road, means the League
    1 Spotland side will benefit to the tune of 20 per cent of £761,000, the difference between the two
    sale amounts.

    Over £600,000 clear profit on a player who looked unstopable some days, yet on others could not stay on his feet. MM clearly thought about him as a bench warmer some of the time.

    To be fair I think that I would have taken that.
