I heard a rumour at the weekend that Luke is unhappy at the club and wants out. Apparently it's a done deal and that's why he wasn' t in the squad although reported as injured. I really don't want any sniff of this to be true but has anybody else heard this rumour?

Oh well if 3 million quid comes in a good job done by Pards getting the club an extra 500k in !!. Thats what it seems to be like these days.
Rumours are exactly that though.
Rumours are nearly always unreliable and it would be pointless to hypothesise on how people are managed on the basis of one.
Not having a go at Solidgone or anyone else but how many players are "rumoured" to be about to be transfered/unhappy/on drugs/shagging the managers wife/gay/etc/etc every week.
Except most of it turns out to be true, Henry...
Anyway, do hope that's not the case for Lukey.
must be right next to me Maria, he was sitting directly behind me
hear hear
Varney was 'The Bloke Behind Me', as Wyn Grant might have said ......... ;o)
You don't even know it's true yet still use it as a chance to slag Pards, unbelievable.
Has yet to prove on a consistent basis why we paid £2.5m for him. That said he's still our best striker we have currently and should be on the teamsheet every week.
Much like McLeod, the fee Pardew and the club pays for players is irrespective of the players themselves. Unfortunately some people think it is the player's fault that they cost so much and if they don't perform it is a stick to beat them with.
No disrepect BRE, but this is exactly the sort of example how we are collectively the most unrealistic set of supporters in the Championship.
Varney was signed for big money for this league, for whatever reason has not done it, yet some (and you're not alone), expect us to get even more money for him ??
Whatever the profession, it don't matter how much you pay someone they can only be so good.

If a team from the Prem say Boro had a punt on him, the amount of money floating around in the Prem I don't think it would be too unrealistic for us to get £3m for him.
Only last year people like Jones/Chopra/Koumas were going for alot more than that.

Who is slagging Pards, hope u r not jumping to conclusions, there is a coaching team within the club, not just one man,
Maybe that's naive of me, but considering he was playing non-league 4 years ago, he's probably pinching himself that he's come this far.
If he plays, he stays - will be more or less his reckoning, I believe.
