The truth probably being that we offered about half the price to Wolves

Another case of don't believe anything until you actually see it confirmed on the official website
Message boards and media hype only support the agents (parasite) cause
We will never get anyone (as proven in the past) with unofficial spokesmen leaking information on message boards ... is "Serpico" the agent who has been pumping the message boards for info for the last few months ?
If he hasn't signed for the right reasons we are well rid anyway,,

Id leave Sordell and Rodriguez out. Lets be honest. 2 young Strikers both done well at this level and want to test theirselves in the prem.

I think South Wales is still percieved by people from outside Wales as being a rugby stronghold and is one of the poorest regions in Europe, although Wolverhampton is definately a shithole, in football terms it's right in the middle of a football mad part of the UK.

After all, isn't this what we are getting use to reading now....
Truth hurts but you're not wrong.
Unless when it comes to players like Miller & Gestade for example.
City need a big name signing and then maybe other sought after players will then follow him and think "Yes cardiff are a good club and will go places."

The player has said he wants to play for the manager so prehaps we shouldn't look further than that. Shackell and Burnley is again an interesting one Derby don't want to sell but may be forced to and again we should remember Burnley are going to receive £8m in PL parachute payments plus £6m for the sale of Rodriguez.
I'mnot really worried about things at the moment because there is not any mass activity in the transfer market at the moment although I think we are about to enter a period of increased activity.
Whatever the final outcome I believe our club will break it's transfer record during this transfer window.

I'm sure a read an article in the Telegraph a few weeks ago which said that Wolves were one of a handful of Premier League clubs which do not to carry any kind of sigificant debt.
So their paracute payments are basically an £18m cash injection from the PL which doesn't have to be repaid.
Also Burnley have no sigificant debt either as their one season in the PL wiped out most of their debts. So again they are receiving what amounts to an £8m non-returnable cash injection from the PL.

Shame we're missing out on all these targets, which does bring up questions. But at the same time, definitely want players who want to be here to do a good job, rather than those who just come cos we offer the most money!
Mon Jun 18, 2012 1:22 pm
could some tell me is it true we bid 49 m for torris and 44 m for carroll cause we always seem to lose a player by a million
