    That's an impressive car history HIAG.

    The Cosworth was a car that despite being pug ugly - given it was a Sierra - provided genuine Super Car performance in its day. An iconic motor that.

    Great price to be fair, we were looking at £4-5m pre Euros:)

    If HIAG keeps the boxes that they came in, those cars will be worth a lot more too :tongue:

    Not a great price considering they're throwing 40mil+ around for most scraps on the market.

    Pelle is far better than 13mil. Very good striker.

    Price is irrelevant anyway - he's joining the exodus <ok>

    I don't think they play in the J-league mate.

    He's 31 (next week), has a year left and has been carrying an injury for half season. We probably got the best 2 years of his career and made a profit, seems pretty good to me.

    As for exodus we're used to it by now and you can hardly put Pelle in the same category as Viv & Mane though of course the media will report it as such <ok>

    True, it's a nice little earner.

    The problem is with the amount of money the PL is getting you could have kept him for another year and let him go for free. He's a goal scorer.

    Obviously if you get a decent replacement and don't miss him it's happy days <ok>

    For the first point that was very much my stance when the price quoted pre Euros was £4/5m as that will probably only be around 2 places next year <laugh>

    I am cautiously optimistic of Austin being fit n raring to go for the start of the season. Spend £8-10m on a young striker we can develop and job done <ok>

    Interesting stat... with Mane's move, Liverpool have spent £95.5m on Southampton players in 2 years. That's 7 times what Marcus Liebherr paid to buy the whole club <whistle>

    No but that is a true story.

    Although I'm now a responsible father and partner (not married yet). Some of my past would send shock waves through your brain <laugh>

    It's rather colourful.

    We should have just bought the club ages ago. Although It's quite nice having a feeder club with good scouts working for you and getting paid by someone else.

    Expensive in the long term but it's not my money.

    We finish above you these days. We're not your feeder club, you're our cash cow

    I'm half hoping Everton put in a late bid of around £16mill, just so I can laugh at them. Wouldn't wish Merseyside on the bloke though, he's been good for us and doesn't deserve that.
