Bless. No more bias than anyone else obviously - I see as I find. And you're still not prepared to admit you're in the wrong because you misled everyone by using the wrong term?

Oh, I see! You meant TRANSFER fee!

:thud:

After all that.....

Never mind though, your point was still a load of bollocks all the same. Targetmen at Championship level rarely cost anything like a £500,000 'signing fee'. For instance, Ricketts cost Leeds nothing, Shipperley cost Sheffield United nothing, Sidibe cost Stoke nothing, Thorne cost Norwich nothing, etc etc.

You mentioned Freddy Eastwood earlier. Since when has he been a target man?

Hang on, don't tell me: targetman is another football term you're not familiar with.

:thud: again.

We can't even afford their wages though.

Do my views now look so outlandish now? A competent Championship level player will cost at least £500,000 to sign, won't they? Looking at the examples of Parkin, Tyson and Eastwood? Money we don't have even before the wages we couldn't afford.

The three players you've mentioned there are lower-division goalscorers who are not proven at this level at all. You've chosen three young hot prospects. Of course they will command decent fees.

But they aren't the type of player you're crying out for, are they (except maybe in Parkin's case)? Surely you need a big targetman to play alongside the lighhtweight strikers you do have?

Saturday's game was generally a piece of piss for our defence as you were unable to win anything the air. And that's no suprise given the size of your front men.

f*** me, the same LAME joke in your last 3 posts. And it doesn't even work considering I paid up this morning. Still, it's easier than admitting you are wrong I guess.

That's funny - your name is still up the top of NSC on the list. Obviously takes a bit of time for debtors to clear their good name.

(That's 4 by the way :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: )

You've got some brass neck coming back here after all your made-up crap about signing-on fees. Can you READ properly next time? :lolol:

But it seems you want to rehearse the same debate all over again. Bollocks, I'm game :clap2:

Now what did McGhee say was the problem of attracting the likes of players like Shipperley here - you know, in that Echo article that you so dilgently posted what seems days rather than hours ago?

Can you READ that properly? :lolol:

It mentions the stadium situation and our wages policy. These are the main reasons why Shipperley or any of those players did not come here, we can't afford them and we can't compete with clubs with decent facilties! That's why we went for CKR, because we also wanted a young player who would hold his value rather than an affordable has-been on the way down (we've been down that road with the likes of Paul Kitson) who we would get nothing back for.

SAKE, just because your club has nearly gone bankrupt spending money it doesn't really have on players, you seem to want to wish the same fate on us :salute:

Whilst everybody is going on about Eastwood we did try for him in the summer.(as did other clubs)
He didn't want to leave Southend. He didn't want to leave home (his statement on the Southend club site)

But mine is the last post on that thread you sad tit. You only had to read it to see.

Oh wait, it's the fabled plastic "misunderstanding".
