    You mean the ITK crew who know that we were just 'driving up the price' for conor townsend and didn't actually want to sign him? As oppose to all the previous evidence which suggests that a) we don't offer enough for players (in fee or wage) and b) our owners are notoriously ****s at negotiation e.g. changing the deal at the 11th hour.

    Adkins has himself said he’s disappointed to have missed out on signing Townsend.

    Whilst the owners aren't given they've pocketed another £300k from the 40% sell on clause.

    I heard it was a done deal. It wasn't City who moved the goal posts.

    They rejected our bid immediately, describing it as 'nowhere near our valuation'.

    Which turned out to be fairly accurate, as he went for three times the amount we bid.

    Doesn't seem accurate at all IF our bid waived the sell on fee.

    Must be disappointing as a manager to miss out on players over comparatively small amounts.

    Driving up the price for CT was clearly an excelllent idea and knowledge of this being the real reason of our interest was surmised by anyone aware of the situation.

    So, no. Not that ITK crew at all.

    I've seen this from a few different posters on different bids, how does anyone know what was offered? I know there will be rumours/ what people think was offered, but how can anyone state that they know what was offered

    The Express & Star have a good record and didn’t even bother with ‘fee believe to be around’...

    ‘The 25-year-old left-back became the Baggies’ fifth summer signing on Saturday when he joined from Scunthorpe in a £750,000 deal‘.

    If anybody is at the Ferriby game, be a dear and just ask Nige why we're going into the Villa game without an in-form striker? And could he possibly buy one, even if it's the top scorer from the Greenland Premier Division?

    Can't see City ever signing players with medical problems who are less than 100% fit, can you?
