Tie Bi went back to France, we offered too little. Deal might still happen. Especially with all or some of Hollands wages knocked off.
Potter seems like a random one...not sure what money tree we will pluck £250k from
I never understood how a player (Tie Bi) playing at a decent level, that a promoted PL team (Hull) were interested in, could be in our wage bracket. Surely he wouldn't have had a trial unless we were aware of what wages he expected?
Maybe he thought he could convince us to break the bank; maybe we though we could convince him to take a cut. Neither happened.
Barnsley have just sold a full back to Wolves for 700k so recouping their outlay's on O'Grady and Jennings.
Golbourne looked more than decent against us .. VERY good coming forward
Find it odd that a player would voluntarily drop down a division, when he was in the Barnsley first team. Suggestions by Flitcroft that money was the motivating factor...

imo it is in most cases. I maintain that if say Morecombe offered Rooney 300k pw he'd be off like a shot no hesitation. Not saying that applies to ALL players but reckon it would to most.

of course .. and for the foreseeable future, Wolves will be a bigger club than Barnsley irrespective of in which division the respective clubs are situated

Bristol City now in for Jon Obika. #cafc boss Chris Powell tells us in paper today that resigned to missing out on the Tottenham striker. - Cawley
I really don't think he would want to come to us now. Apart from Pigott and the other youngsters, we have Yann and Church on permanents and Sordell on loan. I think CP would look to start all of them before Obika gets a look in and I can't see him coming unless he felt he was pretty sure of a starting 11 place. He needs games and goals to make a fist of his career. I think we should have Pigott at 4th striker and spend any wages money on strengthening the defence and getting in a creative CM.
it doesn't matter how many strikers we have, if there is no creativity behind them then whoever are the strikers, they won't get many goals. I also think the 4 we have are no worse than Obika and in some cases better.
Obika has pace which none of Pigott, Yann or Church has in abundance
Sordell maybe but Obika is a different type of striker.
I'd be interested to know how you think they differ? I don't disagree with you, I've just not seen enough of Sordell to know what type of striker he is...?

Cawley saying in the SLP that Bristol City are preparing a bid for Obika and that Spurs are holding out for a fee.
I wonder what we will offer Obika? : - )

Jose Fonte did it with Southampton, he left Palace in the championship to go to Soton in league one!
