DTLW's right, they wanted £6m and we only offered £5m. (I think)

I remember their spokesman saying their had been no bids accepted at that time last year.

Someone said they had heard it on Solent and posted it up to SaintsWeb and here, but no one else had heard it or did hear it from then on so it was considered a load of tosh.

Then Burnley's spokesman confirmed there was no truth in it.
 
See Rob Green has been released from West Ham. Could do worse than the England number 2.

Yes but I highly doubt you guys would be prepared to pay the 50k a week he wants.

Yeah, couldn't agree a new contract. I guess the writing was kind of on the wall with the rumours about Jussi J going there and also having just signed Henderson from Pompey. Also in accordance with their let's buy as many players as possible routine, they have apparently bid £4m for Grant Holt...

Most of the stuff is paper talk so I don't get where your getting the "let's buy as many players as possible" We have only signed 1 player so far and he's a Goalkeeper because Green is going

I would think West Ham will have to increase that bid, probably double it at least. Proven premier league strikers that are English don't go for four million. Its a bit of a disgusting offer tbh. So its hard to judge our offer for j rod to that one but Holt must be worth more.

So how much would you pay for a 31 year old who has only had 1 good season in the Premier League.

He can't be that good if he is 23 and still playing for Millwall (2nd tier) if he was that good he would be playing in the premier league already...

I can't see us buying him.Not what we need.

?! Your whole sqaud were in the Championship and most of them are over 23, are you saying they can't be that good?
 
If we want to sign players like Trotter then we might aswell just give up now.We won't get far by signing players like him.

What just like Swansea did by playing people such as:

Angel Rangel
Ashley Williams
Neil Taylor
Nathan Dyer
Leon Britton (who played at L2 level)
Joe Allen
Danny Graham


And Norwich with:

Anthony Pilkington
Elliott Bennett
Steve Morison
Kyle Naughton
Bradley Johnson
Wes Hoolahan
Andrew Surman




You're talking a load of guff.
 
Using DTLW's lists:

Angel Rangel - didn't play in Prem until 28
Ashley Williams - didn't play in Prem until 27
Neil Taylor - didn't play in Prem until 23
Nathan Dyer - didn't play in Prem until 23
Leon Britton (who played at L2 level) - didn't play in Prem until 28
Joe Allen - played in Prem at 21
Danny Graham - didn't play in Prem until 26


Anthony Pilkington - didn't play in Prem until 23
Elliott Bennett - Played in Prem at 22
Steve Morison - didn't play in Prem until 27
Kyle Naughton - joined Premier League Spurs at 21, didn't play regularly until 23
Bradley Johnson - didn't play in Prem until 24
Wes Hoolahan - didn't play in Prem until 30
Andrew Surman - didn't play in Prem until 23

On those two lists, only two are younger than Trotter is now. So all of them were clearly backward steps.

Let's see what those players do next season...
 
The least Banana expects is Messi and Ronaldo!

Good list DTLW <ok> Proves a lot.

So when people say that players like Sharp an Hammond can't make the step up, let's just wait and see.

Everyone thought Hammond would be ****e but I backed him from the start and he proved the majority of people wrong!
