There's one here. </p> http://www.barnsleyfc.org.uk/bbs/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=134663&mid=896790#M896790</p>
Hohoho I said name how many regular 10+ goal championship strikers, under contract, under 27, changed hands for less than 1.2m? </p> Doyle no championship experience at all when signed. You are a fruitcake if you think we'd have got him this season for 1.2m </p> Scotland no championship experience at all when signed. You are a fruitcake if you think we'd get him following this season for 1.2m </p> McCormack no championship experience at all when signed. You are a fruitcake if you think we'd get him following this season for 1.2m </p> Smith is not under 27, he might change hands for 1.2m but I doubt it, unless his contract is up. </p> Philips 36, we tried to sign him this season. He was 32/33 when he changed hands for 1m/700k, not under 27 and what were his wages. What was his contract position when he changed hands for 700k? Changed hands for 3.2m when 30. </p> I'm still frankly bemused how you think we paid too much when I reiterate that you really don't know how much we did pay for him. If he got 13 goals this season, which I would have said was entirely possible, then IF we paid 1.2m it would have been decent value. </p>
RE: Seems very clear to me He'll not have it. He prefers some half remembered statement from a source he can't quite remember than an official statement on the official site of the club that actually bought him. I don't know what he's going on about now. Summat to do with not being able to buy some players in the summer when I never claimed we could.
RE: Seems very clear to me All he has to do is look out of his back bedroom window. All the answers are there.
sitting in a tree who rattled thy cage. We will have paid market price for Hume. No other striker with comparable championship record / contractual / age changed hands last close season for less. Not that I know of. I've asked Jay to name one but he seemingly cant. The palace game was called off because no fecker wanted it to go ahead, BFC , CPFC, rozzers the lot. Physics defying unmeltable / unshiftable snow ice / snow / mysterious all weather surface aberations had **** all to do with it. If you are daft enough to think otherwise so be it.
RE: sitting in a tree I think you need to calm down a bit me old.</p> £1.2mill, snow & ice. </p>
I'm hardly irate I just asked a simple question to establish Jay's basis for his opinion we paid too much for a player. He's not satisfactorally responded though you seem to be backing him up in some attempt at ridicule. I will again say that no fecker on here knows exactly what we have paid for him and if he had maintained his previous good scoring record at this level he would have been decent value. As for the snow and ice you have brought it up twice in a dig since I last posted on the subject. And i'll reitterate, you are naive if you believe the match was called off because of unchangeable unsafe conditions inside the ground or outwith. Not that I am particularly bothered that it was called off I just challenge the excuses proffered.
Jay Bothroyd? 26 championship goals to his name compared to Hume's 25. Plus 3 premiership goals and a few cup goals against higher league opposition. Just 1 year older than Hume and with a year left on his contract. Cost 900k less than we paid for Hume
