Right, kill thread and move to world football!!!

The season hasn't even started and somehow, I have the same blah feeling as I ended last season...

 

[KUEFC09U2]

Take it that means bony wasn't part of the deal......

 

[BlueToff]

BBC saying £47.5m

Can't knock that. Great deal. That's probably £40m then if you discount Barnsley's fee

 

[HughesyEFC]

Gutted hes gone like

 

[BlueToff]

Yay, undisclosed fee...

Despise that nonsense.

probably always likely, but BBC reporting £47.5m

 

[toffeejack]

happy enough with that. I always knew he'd go sooner or later, the way he laboured around last season meant we were never going to get the best out of him in our shirt.

 

[Chimpy Glassman]

Turncoat gobshite.

 

[Muggins]

Turncoat gobshite.

haha feel better mate?

 

[Tubey]

probably always likely, but BBC reporting £47.5m

If true, stunning deal for us.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

So after all that posturing, we did actually sell for less than £50m as the City-briefed journalists predicted.

Nothing will be the same.

A whole £2.5m less.

And £7.5m more than what those "briefed journalists" said was City'/ absolute max offer

 

[f.t.r.s]

£47.6 mill? nice to see we stuck to our guns on the 50 or no deal...

 

[Tramps_mate]

Time to move on..

Thanks for not trying last year.

Not like we've sold a starting CB either!

 

[Ashtonian]

Take all personal thoughts aside.

Us selling a 22 year old defender for 47 5 million is another great piece of business

 

[BlueToff]

Take it that means bony wasn't part of the deal......

part-exchanges just don't happen in this league mate

Club announcement from EFC soon. Error was City's.

So you saying it wasn't done, or City's error for releasing the info?
