sage Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I got told by someone at the DET this week, that we bid £2m for Hooper, but they wanted £3m. They took £2.5m in the end. I reckon a £2m bid before selling a forward is an encouraging sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 maybe....but was that before we paid £1m for B+B? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 maybe....but was that before we paid £1m for B+B? Not sure if it was before or not. Maybe we could have paid both. Thought we paid £600k with add ons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertRam Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Given a choice I'd sooner have B & B than Hooper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby_Dave Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 No offence all but can we not just draw a line under this. We bid, they wanted more, he went to Celtic. Move on!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deserter85 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 The one thing that amazes me is - why on earth will anything think that we've got a chance once Celtic is in the picture. So, how much we had bidded isn't even really relevant. Unless they've played there for a few years and got bored and wants a new challenge.

MrsRam Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I think what we bidded is relevant. We were obviously prepared to spend 2 million on someone - but wouldn't pay an 'overinflated' price for him. The fact is, there was 2 million on the table.

Thornhill Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 MrsRam is spot on, the post isn't about the player but the amount we were willing to spend on him, even if that was before B&B that's a million left over that may still be available. Assuming that this is true, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duracell Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I couldn't sodding care less if we have backing or not, all I care is that we play well. Do you think Boro fans are more satisfied us because they have an "ambitious" board? If we spend £1m on Cywka and £500k on Roberts then no one would be complaining anywya.

If you have the right, prudent manager, then you will get players of the required quality for less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whoneedshuls Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 id prefer to keep the 2 mill and add another 1mill for next august then pay the money to get bueno in on a 2-3 year deal. bailey and brayford will be worth double wat we paid for them at the end of the season. but i wouldnt sell them there both class. roberts is poor get rid and get fielding in if hes cheap enough id go for moore if hes under a mill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donny Ram Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 given the choice ...i'd have all 3. Given the chance I'd rather they sign Bueno based on what we've seen so far. Let's just hope he's still got an appetite when it gets a bit nippy in January and February eh..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming that this is true, anyway. Surely a sizeable chunk of this has been spent on getting Bueno on loan, certainly from what the club are saying anyway.
