    Cold calling

    Possibly just a fluke, I've never been in an accident and still get those calls asking me to claim.

    Not sure they will, don't think Caldwell will be up to the task in the championship.

    Bassala Sambou

    tbf Armtrong is almost a year older than Sambou so he is a year ahead of Sambou in development, who is to say next season Sambou wouldn't be doing what Armstrong done for us if he stayed. Also worth noting that Amstrong is exceptional for his age, he has been recognised as the standout English...

    Wigan

    When I was referring to being bankrolled, I mean their initial rise through the divisions in the early 00's The only reason they have cash now is they are still receiving parachute payments from there premier league relegation season, once that kitty is blown they will sink back down the divisions.

    Wigan

    I'm guessing this Wigan fan is probably between the ages 15-21, he has probably never known Wigan as a club before Whelan bankrolled there rise to the premier league and thus thinks they are a massive club. Enjoy it whilst you can as you've got the next 40 years of traveling to Halifax and...

    Bassala Sambou

    Ok, but assuming the above is true than is only proof that Ranson tried to sell him before his contract ran out. Which doesn't match with what you said.

    Bassala Sambou

    Not arguing that Westwood wanted to leave as clearly he did as he rejected our contract and signed one elsewhere but is there any proof he refused a January move or have you just made that bit up?

    Wigan

    Wigan will come straight back down next season, Caldwell is a poor manager who has been masked by having a massive budget due to still having premier league parachutes. Once the parachute payments dry up and with attendances in decline I expect Wigan to drop over the next 10 years to their...

    Yes TM is quite canny with these sort of things, he wouldn't close the door on Sambou

    Bassala Sambou

    I think it' might be a fixed amount now, a formula based on how many years they've been at the club and how many appearances they've made

    Jodi Jones permanent deal.....

    A players registration cannot be transferred permanently outside the transfer window, you can negotiate and agree terms all you want but the deal can't be signed off and rubber stamped until the window reopens. I dunno whether the same applies to non league clubs but the above is true for...

    "Realistic" free transfers or signings only

    Just to add another point to this Danny Fox was sold on 24th July 2009 and this document is about a payment due to CCFC on 31 July 2010 So unless you think we received nothing until a year after he was sold then its almost certain the total fee was above £700k

    "Realistic" free transfers or signings only

    In fairness maybe I'm misreading it as well but to me that doesn't confirm beyond doubt that the total fee was 700k. It says a payment of £700k was due on 31 July 10 and Celtic were entitled to withhold 5% of that payment for whatever reason. To me doesn't rule out the possibility that other...

    "Realistic" free transfers or signings only

    Where was it reported to be 8-10 million for Dann and Fox? Genuine question, I thought all the reports at the time said up to £4 million for Dann and £1.5 million for Fox?

    Feel free to move this but it may be seen more in general chat

    It was being discussed in off topic section.

    "Realistic" free transfers or signings only

    The injury doesn't have to be related to his previous one to be considered injury prone. Don't think you can rely on either of them to play 46 games a season, and for that reason we shouldn't be relying on them to be our dominating defender and leader of our defence. If either of them want to...
