Buckley signs 3 year deal for £1m (one million pounds!)

We've GOT rid of that POTLESS waste of TIME Dick Tight

Bit harsh but it makes a difference having a chairman with the money to finance a league club. Seem to remember saying similar at Southwick, some years ago, however that is now water under the bridge and we have moved on and can look forward to the good times ahead

You must admit, there is an element of truth in this - before we were scrambling around signing trialists and cast offs the week before the season started

I'm NOT known as the voice of INTELLIGANCE for NOTHING

Was he buying scratch cards with the Zamora cash as well ?

We were, however not scrambling around signing trialists and cast offs the week before the season started on the grounds that doing so was a good thing, desirable in itself.

Which seems to be the delusion under which Ernest continues to labour. He needs to get a new ideé fixe -- this one's past its sell-by date.

Yep, he had a whole roll of them stuffed in one jacket pocket. The other pocket was overflowing with blackjacks and fruit salads bought with the money he got from selling Withdean.

Mmmmm... Why the SURPRISE we've bought two players, one for half a million, and the other for a million? Bennett is probably going to go for the sum total of those two signings, we've sold out our new 22 500 capacity stadium, and we will get a fair whack of Sky TV money during the season

As someone posted earlier, agents will now be pushing us regarding the value of incoming transfers, but I don't think it's the end of our 'surprising' spending tbf...

I think this has to be the start...GP has set the bar as to the standard of player he wants at the club...Quality, and Experience.....I wander who is next??

So Buckley gets a three year deal but Hoskins only two?

Correct. Buckley did cost a lot more though.

It's called negotiating personal terms I believe. Maybe Hoskins got two so that he can get it extended and his wages increased if he does well?
