Does seem a bit steep !

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

Surely we can only fund that with a fee from the sale of Hammond.

 

[house your seagull]

i work with a dale season ticket holder and he doesn't rate him that much! he has good tally this season but reckons he has a very slow footballing brain.

300k !!! i bet they're rubbing their hands together

How much do you think we're going to get for Hammond?! I can't see us getting more than £50-75k, which means that according to those figures we'd still be spending another £200k+ on him. I suspect it's more like £150,000 for Murray, with up to half coming from any potential Hammond fee.

 

[Munkfish]

i would imagine it will be lots of top ups goals scored promotion etc

 

[ManOnTheRun]

Blimey ... We're RICH!

I think we'll get £150-£200k for him. I would be surprised if Murray cost £300k up front.

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Good business that imo, ever since the speculation started I have been following his progress, solid player who knows where the goal is.

If we have ambitions to push on this term we will need an out and out striker, midfield looks impressive on paper now, so a target man should make the difference.

 

[The Wookiee]

Would rather we fork out £300k for Fleetwood

BBC gossip[ column has Sheff Utd considering £400,000 bid.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Will Hammond sign his contract now?

 

[Kylies Stunt Arse]

Will Hammond sign his contract now?

Not if we need to sell him to fund this!

I wouldn't be surprised if there is a player swap involved. Gatting maybe.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Do we need to sell him to fund this?

Didn't Hammond say he wanted ambition at the club? Does this not show clear ambition?

Who cares! In Forster and (if we get) Murray we look like we have TWO strikers who know where the goal is.

Seems expensive...

But might TEMPT Hammond to stay which is worth paying slightly over the odds for.

It is because Hammond is offski that we can afford 300k in the first place.

BBC gossip column is quoting the Daily Star. Case closed.

Hammond could go on a free transfer in the summer. Why is a club going to pay £150k+ for a player they could get for free in 6 months time? I know some football chairmen are dumb, but there's stupid and there's stupid...

 

[Monkster]

I CAN'T believe you have put a Bid this high in, you really are being MUGGED by the dale

Sell on clause central for an average player

 

[Brighton Breezy]

I doubt that.

We were bidding for the likes of Constantine etc last season without selling Hammond.

Too often Knight seems reluctant to put his hand in his pocket and then he comes out with a ridiculously over priced bid - its about time the club was run by someone with just an ounce of business sense.
He's done well to sort Falmer but every thing comes to an end and the time is now
