You can have a lot of fun round the back of the bike shed.
I know I did.

Ha ha at least we can don't all take these things too seriously eh! ;o)

Agreed. Do they still have bike sheds, what with getting driven everywhere in Chelsea tractors....ah...jumpers for goalposts eh?

The phrase 'it's on the OS now' is sacred. You just don't fcuk about with that.

Thought only Henry was allowed to post those 5 little words....

Henry Irving

I can't believe that even as respected and venerable poster such as yourself, Fanny, could get that wrong.

It has always been:

"I'll believe it when it's on the OS"

Nothing less, nothing more.

Fanny Fanackapan

Thanks, Henry...I think.

I'll have to look up "venerable" though.

Played for Chelsea and Spurs and had some success as a manager. Bit dodgy by all accounts.

1.5 Million bid rejected supposedly with many other clubs watching the situation:

Impressed if true, rejecting 1.5 million shows intent IMO

Bexley Dan

really makes you wonder how much some of our other players are worth - i know there's potential / age and playing style etc to factor in but lets face it, he was never a lynchpin of our side last year and was missing for a big chunk including the real crucial games when we 'broke' the rest of the division. I'm really liking the sound of this and whilst i was and am an admirer of the way he plays, i think we will benefit from a replacement due to the things he lacks.

if true I wonder if we're holding out for more money .. or someone in part-exchange

(let it be Heskey ... let it be Heskey ... DOH !!)

stop_shouting

Absolutely mental. Fantastic that we've got the bottle to turn down a bid of this size but there is no way Stephens is worth £1.5m!!!!

JT

If we can push it up to £2m, it would be an incredible bit of business

cafcfan1990

I just think its good we are not snapping their hands off. If we get 2 million for Stephens, I think we could sign 2 players with that money to improve the midfield.

eaststandmike

Be interesting to see what we get for Solly if he does go because whatever Stevens is worth Solly has to be worth double

Swisdom

If other clubs are interested maybe we can start a bidding war

GretnaGreenAddick

If we can get 2 million and Chrissy gets most of that for replacements then a great bit of business IMO.

dickplumb

I hate this time of year,so much rumour,so little real information.Roll on 11 pm on Friday.Hold on the loan window will still be open,reaches into the medicine cupboard for some Valium ,be gentle with me Nurse.

Swisdom

This transfer window is almost convincing me to go out and buy Football Manager on the way home

Glad it's been rejected but surely if we're rejecting that we can reject the 2-3 mill bid for solly??

I second that mate. The later that it gets, the worse it is, as you do not get much time to replace players.

Addickted4life

Also I'd be very tempted to take 1.5 mill, but if we can drive up the price then brilliant!!!!!

Every little helps : )

redman

even if it is £1.5m it won't be that up front. Be contingent I suspect

DRAddick

So we've turned down 1.5m (sky) and are demanding 1.4 (crawley)? I respect the board sticking to their guns but not impressed with their business sense!

CAFCsayer

Snap their hands off and sign Quinn pronto
