He lives in that new housing setup at the left hand side of the motorway when heading towards Barnsley, you can see it from Post Office pub near Darton. I somehow think the price on his head has been compared to Craig Davies. I doubt we would have been daft enough to have a get out clause on him when we signed him for not much less. I expected at least £750K for him, even though I think he's worth more, it wouldn't be Barnsley if we didn't get ripped off.
Why not? Grabben going for £3m - scored a few more goals in a much better team. Start off high and end up somewhere in the middle, that's how you negotiate isn't it? It was the last time I did it.
Who told you that? Barmy hearsay doesn't help our cause. Like Chef Tyke said Grabban is off for three million and he didn't outscore COG much in a much better side. If we sold him for 350k we might as well fold and build some flats on Oakwell.
It's not particularly the fee that's important as long as it's reasonable. One year left on contract. But the club will reduce it's wage bill considerably, allowing 2 or 3 other players for same amount of wages. Rumour of club starts with a B but not Bolton !
But will those two or three players be as good? I'd rather tell COG he's going nowhere (if he badges for a move) and risk losing him for nothing next summer (but hopefully be back in the championship with his goals).
The policy of selling our best and replacing them with a handful of cheaper players has worked out really well over the last few years
Chris O'Grady is a Blunt, he hates Wednesday and Barnsley. He'll only need a move to Donny afterwards to complete the South Yorkshire set.
