There's unconfirmed reports we agreed a fee and he turned us down and wants to fight for his place. 

If there's any truth in a fee being agreed, there's a fair chance he may come as I'm sure it will be made abundantly clear that he doesn't feature in the managers plans.

Might have been a low fee with a decent salary and a promotion bonus. He'd be ok as a squad player.

No to be honest, I don't.

No. It makes no logical sense, especially given Dowling's previous comments regarding Gayle and committing to heavy contracts.

There is absolutely no way this is Nick (unless Nick has stolen this username). Posters from the old rivals board will know this guy (DF).

You quoting initials there chap? Wink

Yep. Been lurking since the days of the rivals sites.

Now those Friday afternoon board invasions were an entertaining Friday night read.

It's gonna run and run!

Yes I have no doubt.  I have my own fan club.
Problem is lots of people get tired of it and it spoils the bored when it appears in every thread.

Ahhh those invasions...I've gone all misty eyed, they were the reason I had to choose a new name (not that the original is banned from here)

Do Rich, Kappa et al every frequent these parts nowadays?
