just assumed the money was going towards new players and their contracts, not current players wages....difference being it reduces the amount we had to spend probably my own fault, for actually believing something i read

How can anyone take any of that as gospel, man. Jesus f***ing Christ. Well what would you rather he said, yeah we gonna spend it and then f*** all happens. At least were being told straight about where it's going. Also to you f***ing idiots Pardew said straight after when Carroll was sold that the £35M would need to include wages for players as well, so don't go on about you didn't know this bollocks. aye, but when that was said...i (dunno about everyone else) assumed he meant new players and their wages, didnt expect them to be earmarking some of it for in case Jose signs a new deal. (cant remember where i read that, may well have been the ronnie gill) have to admit, the optimism i had earlier in the window is definitely disappearing after hearing some of the s**** he's coming out with about Zog etc

took the day off as well....but staying in town till about half 5-6....darlo's a s*** hole read on the darlo website the grounds about 25 min walk from the station http://www.conferencegrounds.co.uk/darlington.htm#By%20Train

be good to see him back on the pitch tomorrow hope he can manage his major role whilst fighting for his first team place....

ad like to keep him

good to see us stepping up our interest since downings made his move jesus christ

with that positive avatar i can't do anything else but believe you

aye, its a bit of a shitter i wish i could bury me head in the sand during every transfer window and just find out the squad at the end make it less stressful. but instead i sit at work f5'ing it

was it not in the echo as well? :frantic:

i fucking hope not, if he's says he's staying, he's gone...if he's says he's going, he's gone

hmm....as good as ours? seems he's trying to stop it going to the panel

+ 15 to bring in matuidi fuckin hate transfer windows

apparently money from 'the carroll money' had been put aside for the replacement so we can spend his fee on paint for the penalty spot

i'm with the people who dont mind if he sees his contract out in reality, i'm pretty sure anyone after him is looking at him thinking 'last year of his contract? we'll get him cheaper than what fat ash is asking for towards the end of the window' ... much the same as the zog situation. i'll be happy as the next person if he's still here come september, but i'd go as far to say i'm certain he wont be

from the journal this morning, said he's expecting him to run his contract down

6 years!!! More money out of the 35 million! Sweet Jesus of Nazareth...just flinging this money about willy-nilly...! keep going like this we'll have to sell colo to cover the cost. Any surplus can go towards new shower caps

wasnt it 6?

Colin who? the one and only....

Even for £35 million? I doubt we would get £35million for him - for that price I would consider it (though it would be on the same basis as the Carroll deal, it gets reinvested fully in the team and not on fancy showers and toilets at the training ground) Of course we wouldn't get £35 million... £15 mil tops. Unfortunately, the owners of the club will probably sell him if an offer above £15 million comes in... may be me being naive but if 15 was the top offer to come in i dont think we'd let him go another season like last season and he'll be worth a lot more come next summer ...and I think that it was they are holding out for. Like Dave said a few months ago, they will hope he improves on last season, thus proving last season wasn't a one-off. He will command a better fee this time next year. To be honest, I hope he picks up silly yellow cards all season - even if that means he only plays 30 games a season, a price worth paying to keep him here. that just fucked my head cant say i hope he picks up yellow cards, and to be honest...even if he does yet still plays the same as this season, dont think it'll make a difference to people coming in for him

we've donated the rest of our transfer money to charity, cos mike's nice like that
