I'm not convinced City currently have the firepower to convert enough chances that will come our way. This lad from Brentford might be the final peice of the jigsaw or another waste of wonga. It's Bruce's call,he ****ed up big style last season in my book,taking the club back up again would make the club look better in the shop window and attract any would be be buyers. Appleton OUT.
There's no "could possibly" about it - the total they are asking, so we are led to believe, is £9 million. Just not all at once. If you were buying him with your money you would have to earmark a £9 million spend.
David Burns @bbcburnsy I hear a whisper @HullCity have had an offer from @whufc_official for Tom Huddlestone and they've also asked about Jelavic. #hcafc
No, it's potential. £7m is guaranteed and then there are add ons which may or may not have to be paid. I very much doubt that Proschwitz cost the reported £2.6m nor did Ince cost the previous reported £2.2m. Clubs like to inflate figures so that it pleases fans
If we get promoted and trigger the £2m in add-on's, well have an additional £60m to take it from, we don't have to earmark anything.
It wasn't set by tribunal, we agreed the fee with Blackpool and we paid £1.6m, the rest was add-on's that we never triggered.
So that tribunal hearing and the setting of a mandated fee we had to pay Blackpool that was only settled about six months after we bought him was unneccessary because we'd already agreed a fee?
