    Cheap then ?
    Multiple wages of that type in the squad cannot possibly be covered with ticketing income,
    ( Average gate inc seasons 21k ) and commercial activity……Therein lies your answer.

    If it was 100k we paid for Tommy Leigh that can only be because of his age and hopefully potential, with regards Walker playing a role that is alien to him was probably the reason he was caught offside so many times, he sees the player receiving the ball and expects the pass but it does not come hence he's offside. you may remember a lad we had called Dave Staniforth a very good centre forward who knew how to run the line very rarely getting flagged for off side.

    Not the most prolific centre forward we ever had but a very well liked player.

    And mine. We had some players back then. I went to Bobby Kennedy's funeral recently and Joe Cooke and Garry (Gunter) Watson were sat behind us.

    100k???

    I hope not!

    He was a lad that needed out of MK Dons after upsetting the fan base, there's no way we should be paying anything like that.

    We're doing everyone involved a favour taking him.

    So you've seen him for less than a couple of full games and deemed he's not worth the money? How about waiting until he's had a run of games to see if he can recapture the form that had him being wanted a year or so back. To be fair the run we're on and being cup tied hasn't given him a chance to get established.

    Errm.

    Nothing in my post said he wasn't good enough. I said the circumstances suggest we are doing everyone a favour.

    Poor post.

    "You've deemed him not worth the money."

    A verifiably false assertion. He might well be worth the money, but not when they're desperate to sell and he's desperate to move on. Anyway, let's move on.

    Debating over a fictitious figure posted on Twitter. The only verifiable figure we are aware of is the Franchise paid £300,000 for him…

    And if they paid £300k in the summer, they definately won't have sold him on for less than £100k.

    Oliver scored again for Shrews yesterday. Is the more league goals during both his loan spells than in the last 2 seasons for us?

    Maybe we should get him back for league one. After all he scored a hat full there for Gillingham a few seasons back

    Cheltenham wanting to sign Sam Stubbs on a permanent in the summer. Sounds like a good move for him if comes off
