Correct. We actually don’t know what are budget is, and I am guessing we won’t know. For all we know, we cry empty pockets, but actually fund players we really want.

 

You'e alright thanks Ronnie but I've no interest

 

Still highly unlikely for me. I'd be delighted to be proved wrong though providing it's us he comes to, but can't see it happening.

 

no chance he'll come here.

 

The board may sanction paying him more in wages being as he comes for free. He is worth the 250000 transfer fee we paid for Shay. Split that over. 3 year contract and that’s very good wages for league 1. There is also the option for a sell on in a years time which can’t be ignored as part of the investment meaning city would only need to pay a third of the 250000 outlay, if they sold him.

 

Don’t think he’s Parky material. Too diddy.

 

worse due to those who haven't renewed !

 

Be a cracking 'nearly' signing would this. 'Just missing out' to one of the aforementioned clubs would be a real statement of intent.

 

You of little faith

 

In fairness, if this rumour is correct, the likelihood is that we are less likely to get the deal over the line.

Nevertheless, if it comes off. Be a decent signing.

 

This has come from a very good source but the fact that according to the same source we have just signed an attacking midfielder in my opinion puts the rumour to bed

 

Yes I think so but a small increase may have filled the gap. Wasn’t talking about that, I was thinking that maybe the owners are pumping more money, but keeping quiet about it, as you would, wouldn’t you?

 

Be sensible Ron, he'd have cost us at least as much as Dack cost Blackburn if we'd tried to sign him last summer.

 

Because of the price Ronnie. It would have been silly to spunk £750,000 on one player last summer, even if hindsight says it might have been better value that McCartan, Reeves & Poleon combined.

We have to live within sight of our means if not within them and those fees are the kind that only the likes of Blackburn will pay.

I noticed the other day Wiki says we paid a fee for McGowan, which considering when he went abroad it was for £500,000 then it won't have been insignificant. These owners aren't afraid to pay fees.

 

£750K ? ..............I bet if City had hit hard enough and fast enough, we could have landed the lad for less than £500k !

 

But what about his wages he won’t come for ten bob and a packet of pork scratchings

 

I doubt he'll want the pork scratchings.
