Just heard that despite claims of significant invesment, the hollands move has left us with around 90k? Anybody have any idea of who we could get for this price?
The fact we've just sold Jeckinson for a fair bit, I would highly doubt 90k left to be true.
Both would be good signings in my book. May take a while, but as with Benson last year, I can see us getting these both over the line eventually. We must have some really decent money by league 1 standards. You must remember that 90% of teams in our league will spend nothing in the way of fees - so with our attendances we will also be able to pay more wages. There really is no excuse for not getting a team that is play off standard at least.
A few quotes from Colchester, we made a low 6 figure bid, he's out of contract in a year, they're saying we'll have to make an "extremely large" offer.
It is encouraging that we seem to be cherry picking (or at least being linked with) some of our rivals' better players. It may turn out that these initial bids are just testing the water, and may be enough to unsettle the player.
Were they (or the manager) not denying that a bid had even happened yesterday?!

Turns out that's because the chairman rejected our bid straight away
“I’m delighted with the way Robbie has handled this,” said U’s boss John Ward, who returned back to his desk at The Weston Homes Community Stadium yesterday following a two week break. “He didn’t even disturb me with it while I was away – he just rejected it straight away.
Maybe the offer was in fact rejected by the chairman because his manager was on holiday?
It might also be the case, that if they did allow the player to move, then they would first of all need to identify a suitable replacement. And that is the management team's job, not their chairman's.
Their chairman won't be totally against making 6 figures out of the deal, providing they can secure a replacement at a fraction of the cost.He'll see that as good housekeeping. and a good deal for the club.
It's the manager who won't be quite so keen to lose one of his best players.
Seem to remember John Still saying something similar to the Benson deal last year, lets put our money where our mouth is .... manily on the proviso we can shout 'BEEEEEEEAAAAST' at him
Charlton will up offer for Bournemouth's R Wiggum & hope to land him by next week

Charlton talking to Max Blanchard the out of contract Tranmere defender.
The next manager of Barnsley FC will not be Russell Slade and will be Phil Parkinson. Parkinson is has told Patrick Cryne he would like the following: -Hameur Bouazza will join on loan from Millwall but with a hefty loan fee of around £200,000. -Izale McLeod will sign from Barnet for around £100,000. -Darren Ambrose will sign from Crystal Palace for around £1 million. (This will be the first signing of the new takeover). -Mark Hudson could join from Cardiff after handing in a transfer request. -Josh Wright will sign on a free transfer after being released from Sc**thorpe United. -Zheng Zhi will join on loan from a team in China. -Darren Randolph will arrive from Motherwell for around £100,000. -Frazer Richardson will join on loan from Southampton. -Nicky Bailey will sign from Middlesbrough in a deal worth £1 million. (Same as the Ambrose transfer). -Lloyd Sam could be set for a surprise move from Leeds United after claiming he's unhappy with Ken Bates. -His last deal will be Akpo Sodje from Hibs, hopefully a permanent transfer but not quite clear yet. -Parkinson has also told he wants Andy Gray up front by himself at the moment but depends if he can get the likes of Sodje and McLeod. -It is not yet clear what staff he's going to bring in but it is rumoured that he could appoint ex Chelsea player Damian Matthew as youth coach, Charlton legend Keith Peacock as the assistant manager and ex Addicks keeper Ben Roberts to be the goalkeeper coach.
Just seen Jack Cork linked to Southampton, according to the Mirror (may be BS then) they are going to pay him 15 grand a week... shows the difference between the Championship and our league... some of Middlesbrough's salaries make that look as minuscule as well

Yeah but Middlesbrough are headed for oblivion unless they somehow get their house in order.

Lazy from CP. We've had that bloke watched for a while now and knew everything about him apart from his price.
Sort it ahrt.
A few quotes from Colchester, we made a low 6 figure bid, he's out of contract in a year, they're saying we'll have to make an "extremely large" offer.
Perfect arrangement: Colchester get a midfield maestro and we get rid.
Especially as the player has a shorter commute from Southend.
Turns out that's because the chairman rejected our bid straight away

If we can't flog him, we should stick McOxo on a pay as you play deal.
£100 a game should do it and he can pay it in by cheque.
Except the player is under contract - and the law says you have to honour it.
