I thought we paid £400k up to £750k, which must have included promotion to the Premier.
Since then he's been in a side that finished bottom of the Second Division, and then forth in the Third Division.
This is before the worst recession for 90 years and the worst recession English Football has seen ever. How many clubs outside of the Premier League have paid £1m+ for a player since we did in January 2008?
Also comparing one of Pardew's purchase prices with the respective sale price is no guarantee of accuracy. Look at Varney, Andy Gray, McLeod, we got less than half what we paid for Varney, we got a quarter of what we paid for Gray and if We were offered a tenth of what we paid for McLeod, I'd drive up to The Valley and take him to his new club myself.
Let's also remember that Murray made it clear that he thought Bailey would go last summer (when the football economy was better) and we received no bids at all for him then. I read from his comments that he wanted to cash in on him.
He also has one year left on his contract. If he waits for twelve months he gets a free and a huge pay rise that he will never see if the club he goes to has to pay c. £500k transfer fee.
I really hope I'm wrong, but I truly believe that if he is going to go it is going to be for a lot less than £1m.

He turned down Celtic and is apparantly close to signing for Boro (that was at the start of the week)
He doesn't want to go that far but there have been no other offers for him and the club want to cash in on him
there have been other offers just that the Club havn't accepted them (yet). I also don't think we'll get much more than a million. Just a year to go on his contract. A bidding war may push it up a bit but not by a lot.

[cite]Posted By: kings hill addick[/cite]I doubt it will be anywhere near £1m, if we actually receive any bids at all.
Why's that, we paid £750,000 for him...and I can assure you there's plenty of interest...what odd comments.
so what if we paid 750k, which we didn't. We paid a lot more for McLeod and I doubt we'd get anything for him. What we paid is of no consequence now. We are in the position of needing to sell and there is only a year left on his contract. My guess is we'll get around 900k.
come you all know that only soundas can post anything about Nicky Bailey and anybody else is talking tosh on the subject. Large dont guess, soundas will have your guts for garters.
Stubley that story was just a reaction to this morning's Daily Mail piece and the Daily Echo generally knows nothing till after its happened! Hope its right mind.
REPORTS that Boro have agreed a fee with Charlton for Nicky Bailey are wide of the mark.
The London-born 26-year-old is one of Gordon Strachan’s top summer transfer targets and a national newspaper this morning reported that Athletic had accepted a bid of £1.5m for the goal-scoring midfielder.
But the Gazette understands that the report is inaccurate.

What is wrong with whispering sometimes...people often whisper me about things at the club and I whisper to them.
I don't whisper more or less than anyone else from time to time.
Just because no one whispers you doesn't mean that there's not a fair bit of it going on...I can assure you there is...never understood why it's a problem...so are you saying that no one should whisper anyone then...how odd.
can I ask do you whisper more when you disagree with what people have posted about Nicky Bailey ? It's just it seems if people post something not positive about Nicky you take exception to it ?

No not at all...it's just that I know him and his family so I don't want to post too much about him openly on here (they know my poster name on here and so I don't want to have any awkward situations)...so maybe that's how it seems.
They are good people (and I really do mean that), so when I see something that I 'know' to be crap then I may well respond and yes it might be in a whisper...what's wrong with that fer Christ's sake?
He really wants to stay with us and put right what went down against Swindon, but that seems not to be an option.
He was with his agent this evening and nothing was said so he hasn't gone yet....but there's one club inparticular that's 'hot to trot' shall we say.
Of course some last minute bids might come in once the word get's out that he's about to sign elsewhere....I know he very much wants to stay near his family....but that simply may not be possible in this instance, which is going to be very hard for all of them.
I like the man and his family...I'll defend him against crap comments and make no excuses for that. If you think that's strange then I too find that a bit sad.
fair enough Soundas£ BUT I doubt they tell you everything and sometimes it wouldn't be in their interest to do so. We'll just have to wait and see but it won't stop us speculating.

to be fair, were you and NLA any different about Jonjo ?

Thanks Steve.
And may I say once again....whispering is not at all uncommon on here....there's far more of it goes on than you think.
uncle referred that it was rude...not sure if he said that just for effect...but if anyone whispers me then I treat it with respect...whether I like the content or not is neither here nor there...if someone want's to talk 'man to man' then I'll 'always' respect that and I think others should too.

Not to sure what your problem is but do you want to show me where i reffered to it being rude??? Although when i was a youngster growing up i was always told it was rude to whisper. Still i dont know where i have said that on this thread so please enlighten me.

I whispered something to Bart yesteday I think it was....apart from that, nothing for yonks.
Oh FFS....LOL, good night all.
