I looked there as well and it seems to have disappeared. I did notice there was a typo in the URL so that might be why it can't be accessed by us or any content management systems.
Mike white thinks this has mileage.
@mikewhitesport: Appears to be mileage in Costel Pantillimon to #hcafc reports. Told there's interest but not sure if reported McGregor deal changes that.
@mikewhitesport: Was aware of reports but didn't think/hadn't heard anything at time to suggest anything other than 'paper talk'. Found out more
@mikewhitesport: A good & reliable source

If Pantilimon come in, he will be our first choice without a doubt. But I suppose it will all hinge on McGregor coming.
I wouldnt have thought we would spend 4 million on a goalie. That is over 25% of the total transfer budget they have said they would spend. It doesnt leave much for other signings.
Agreed. £1.8m gets us both Schwarzer and McGregor actually.
Expect some loans in sometime in august once the big boys get back from pre-season globe troting tours. Man Utd kids more than likely imo.
Why the **** would we waste our 2 loan spots on untried kids in the premier league? I think it's far more likely to be older players who are surplus to requirements at their parent club but can't get a permanent move, shay given and his ilk (just an example I don't think we'll loan him)
No chance, you could get Joe Hart for that! Saying that I'd rather have Pantilimon, Hart is ****e.
Panties a £1.5m player absolute max.
They paid £3m for him, he's got three years left on his deal and they're not actively looking to get rid of him.
£1.5m won't be enough.
But he wants to go somewhere and they wont want an unhappy player on the bench. And if they want £3m+ then we shouldnt sign him, as that's worse value than McGregor at £1.8m.
It does seem that he wants out and that could pull the fee down a bit, but I still doubt we'd get him that cheap.
And they're both worse value than Schwarzer on a free.
You'll hear no argument from me and it would seem him and Borat would be best option as a pair. Both free, Schwarzer has a season as number 1 and passes on experience whilst the Turk gets aclimatised and then, if he's up to it, he takes over long term.
I'd sign em both on 2 year deals. Done.
Olm bcc, don't worry about fees, Duffen will sort it out he knows a good £5million player when he see's one
That all depends on how well these players play. Schwarzer is 41 next, I think, and although he's free, that is very old, even for a goalkeeper.
Alan McGregor is, as I have said before, the best value out there. HOWEVER, if we could get Pantilimon for £3m then at 26, he must represent equally good value as he is 5 years younger than McGregor.
With the new manager coming in he has many options to make. And is weighing up who he see's has a future at the club!
So dont think we will here much till late on next week,
But £5mil does seem a bit much to a keeper that hasn't performed much
