Ram@Lincoln Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 If the numbers are false then where has the DET got the numbers from and why are they reporting them as facts? Usually the DET are bang on with things like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anon Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Wasn't he meant to be 17 when we signed him in 2009? I've found articles stating his age as 17 when he signed for us and 19 in 2011 when he went to Oldham. Soccerway list his date of birth as 1992, yet he appears to be 24. How could he get away with lying about his age? Don't we request any documents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambam Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Maybe he is the one who stated we bought him for that amount. Given his record of porky pies...... Sounds about right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramblur Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Thinking back, I do not ever remember this being reflected in any set of accounts. I know it is not possible to identify individual signings but you can normally piece together rough estimates for transfers for each year (well at least Ramblur can!) I think I can probably show this to be a complete nonsense.The 09/10 accounts show new additions to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple answer, he didn't. Thorne got injured in his first pre-season game. Not really sure what you want the club to do about that, and he'll be back soon anyway.

tinman Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 The article was written by a national paper with the DET just copying it. The numbers will have been inflated, possibly by abalinba himself during the trial to make himself look better and garner some sympathy for the extent of his crash.
