Huh? Has someone hacked your account (you don't normally spam or advertise, do you?), or did you not copy and paste a link properly?

EDIT: Ah, see you've amended.

We've dodged a bullet.

 

[dwayne]

We've been completely played.

 

[dougdeep]

He got a nice wage rise out of it anyway.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Meh.

 

[Neecha]

We've dodged a bullet.

Not sure if you had a look on the AFCB forums but there fans were rubbing their hands together when they realised the fee involved and mentioned he misses a lot of chances etc etc
sound familiar?

 

[pasty]

So a player valued at 1.1M doesn't fit our wage structure, but a player valued at 2M does? Sounds like Grabban or his agent making excessive demands to me.

 

[El Turi]

Disappointing as I think he would have been an improvement on Barnes. Another sign though that we seem to be the only club in the division adhering to FFP.

 

[Beach Hut]

He would have been a big outlay for not very much in my view.

I was more referring to having avoided signing a mercenary shit. But point taken!

 

[Eksman]

Nevermind! Its a shame but it will come good when we sign mason

Can't compete with Bournemouth in terms of wages then, can't compete with Burnley. Or wont. Looks like we'll be in the Championship for a long time then which is fine but only a matter of time until the new supporters drift away.

 

[WATFORD zero]

Re-signing at Bournemouth - Ambitious sort then

Can't and won't are two different things.

Would like to think it's more a case of "won't be held to ransom on wages" rather than can't compete.

 

[Petee]

Average mediocre player, definitely not worth 1.1m. How we can think of swapping Barnes with Grabban and making a loss at the same time is ridiculous....

Or its that he has no ambition and probably had absolutely no intention of leaving anyway - but just wanted a wage increase so used the 1st club who payed any sort of interest in him.

We can compete against clubs like Bournemouth, but when players want to act like this - then the club can do nothing.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Just dissapointed with our distinct lack of ambition on the pitch.

 

[The Wizard]

'Albion are expected to revert their attention to Cardiff's Joe Mason. He will cost around £2 million but will fit in with the Seagulls' wage structure.'

Good news then.
