Mark Posted 15 July 2004 Share Posted 15 July 2004 Dave Bassett I'm thinking, we are struggling to bribe him with our famous get out clause, as we cant give him something gay like 100k cause we're buying him for 500k! I'd be extremely suprised if we got him now. Though he has played most of his football down in London, Watford, Wimbledon and West Ham, maybe he wont fancy it up there :w00t: :!: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scow Posted 15 July 2004 Share Posted 15 July 2004 Maybe we shouldn't announce we're getting someone before we complete the deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87fox Posted 15 July 2004 Share Posted 15 July 2004 Maybe we shouldn't announce we're getting someone before we complete the deal? This is completely right. That's why I think this thing with sunderland has happened... If Adams hadn't opened his big mouth and told everyone we'd had a bid accepted then Sunderland maybe wouldn't have known and not put in a bid. We should have played our cards closer to our chests. Big mistake on this one Micky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right and have a point but it isn't really much sense to make public about your deals, if not for the reason I previously stated then for pissing off fans when it falls through.

Scow Posted 15 July 2004 Share Posted 15 July 2004 Just an underhanded ploy to increasing Season Ticket sales. Mace et al need shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad biker Posted 16 July 2004 Share Posted 16 July 2004 In the words of Jimmy Greaves, it`s a "fanny old game Brian" though I`m loath to mention it again as I got really naffed off about it before, Benty had AGREED to sign for us, in fact it was minutes from a done deal until Everton, resigned to loosing Rooney, made the lad a fantastic offer, shit loads of cash and premiership football, Mc Ateer, well I can`t tell you what happened there but let`s leave it at, be VERY pleased that the deal was called off !!! Connolly has agreed to join us and is due to sign later on today and it should happen, I`m confident it will, BUT as I said before NOTHING is 100% certain in this business.

Guest Guest Posted 16 July 2004 Share Posted 16 July 2004 If you believe it, he will come Sunderland were always interested in Connolly, and were alerted to what is going on by the players agent, not by anything that came out of the club Are you really naiive enough to think that Mick McCarthy was sat reading the LCFC website, saw Micky's comments and then dived in ? That is not the real world of football, and everyone knows it - but some of you immediately move to criticise Adams/Bassett/Mace/Filbert Fox or anyone else because it gives you the opportunity to indulge in some more petty small minded moaning. Did you ever think that Micky might have been trying to whip up some enthusiasm from the bank of miserable whingeing that has been going on all summer ? Give the fans some good news at the first opportunity ? And if it was an attempt to stimulate more season ticket sales, then so what ? Should we not market our club at all, then, and stay skint forever ?? Have a good word with yourselves, and stop looking at the down side of everything. Connolly will sign today, and this team is more than good enough to compete in this league this year. There's no room in this world for blind faith, but there is equally no room for pathetic moaning at every opportunity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hullfox Posted 16 July 2004 Share Posted 16 July 2004 Guest Get yourself registered my friend. We need all the sensible posts we can get here, well said. Believe me, it is only a matter of time until Filbert Fox starts getting blamed for whats happening. Everyone else is in the firing line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted 16 July 2004 Share Posted 16 July 2004 I shall remain an anonymous mystery Remember that even if Connolly had slipped through our hands it would all have been down to greedy players and greedy agents and the seedy world of transfer dealings - not because we were trying to give a gee up to some miserable tossers who do not live in the real world By the way, you don't see anyone moaning that Norwich have openly declared their interest in Scowcroft, do you ?

Mad Biker confirmed it will be Monday now - But as he said, nothing is certain in football. Agents are parasites on the game, they need shooting.
