CKR to Sheff Utd

[Da Man Clay]

Says who? Are you there on a daily basis?

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Half a mill. Yes please.

 

[dougdeep]

I don't believe this for a minute but I'd sell my granny for half a mill.

 

[Scoffers]

Doesnt seem right to me somehow, no way SU would pay that for someone unproven at champ level, and there has to be some doubt that we'd let him go as all the profits go back to Bury/Agents Fees/Coca Cola

 

[Rusthall Seagull]

There could be some truth in it, as he definitely wants out.

How do you know he defiantely wants out?

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Lets face it,time the season starts we are going to have one hell of a shit team.

 

[paddy]

In an ideal world we should hold on to CKR but at the moment our short term future is paramount because it is likely to affect the stadium. We need an experienced striker, not a raw talent. We saw what happens when the majority of your team are raw talents lat season. If we are to get out of League 1 we need a proven goalscorer. I'd much rather have the money + Shipperly at this stage than CKR.

A bit like England!!

If he is sold it won't be finalised until the 1st July as this will have been when he has been at the club for a year

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Lets all hope that Revell is the new Peter Ward. If we get a decent fee for CKR + Shipperley then Shipperly could support him up front in the same style as Fred Binney.

Could be fixtures etc but do I give a fcuk with France winning last night

Albion hitman set to go? EXCLUSIVE

Brighton striker Colin Kazim-Richards could be set for a dream move to Sheffield United, writes Richard Cawley.
Clubcall understands the Blades are considering bidding for the pacy 19-year-old.

Kazim-Richards only joined the Seagulls last summer from Bury but grabbed six goals in 25 league starts.
United boss Neil Warnock knows that the young forward is raw but believes he has the potential to be a huge success at Bramall Lane.

Brighton would struggle to hold onto Kazim-Richards if a decent bid came in for his services and would demand at least £500,000.

Sell! Sell! Best bit of business since unloading Dodgy Dan Harding

 

[Basil Fawlty]

If Sheff utd offer £500,000 for CKR, we'll have to rip their arm off by the limb, there is absolutely no way we can reject that kind of bid, if this is true.


But I aint believing this untill we hear more.

 

[Normandy seagull]

You think the seagulls world goon would have asked Mcghee if it is true

 

[London Irish]

I seem to remember the sell on clause being 50%. Great. If we get half a mil from Sheff Utd. then 250 goes to Bury and 250 goes in the black hole. Leaves us with Gatting and Robinson up front in a very physical League 1.

I'm 80 per cent sure it's not 50 per cent - the figure was in a pre-season article in the Sports Argus last season and I can remember it exciting little comment at the time because it was relatively low, something around 20 per cent I think but I'll see if I can dig it out later tonight.

 

[London Irish]

Ah, found it straight away - 17.5 per cent - thought it wasn't that high.

http://www.northstandchat.biz/showthread.php?threadid=53370 half way down.

Hope in this case people unambiguously approve of DK's negotiation skills!

I get pissed off with selling our ones for the future because the future never comes.Whats the point?They are sold on if they show any promise.I also think he is worth more than 500k

Personally, I get pissed off with our BUYING ones for the future because the future never comes. It's a cynical cop-out by the manager. He's effectively saying, 'OK, the player's SHITE, but - hey! - don't give me a hard time cos two years down the line he won't be shite and then you'll be THANKING me'.

IMHO spending money on 'one for the future' should be a sackable offence. Cos as you say, the future never comes. That's why we have a youth set-up to bring through TRIED & TRUSTED Albion youngsters.

 

[London Irish]

Real toughie, I would settle for any kind of deal involving Shipperley plus cash.

I think he has the talent easily to score 20 goals in League 1 but he has to want to knuckle down, work his arse off and serve his apprenticeship rather than looking for a quick route to the top.

Only the people who see him in training day in day out will know if he has that desire to succeed with us. We fans can but speculate.
