Do you agree though that for Wakey to let one of their key players go now there has to be a really good deal offered from our perspective. We are unlikely to be able to replace Brough before the end of the season and perhaps you are breaking your rule of no transfer fees to force our hand.

I don't buy into we need the money, we have just saved a fair wedge on Newton's wage and if we needed the money we would just keep that and not bother trying to sign Cooke.

I have no idea on names at all - except that they are not any of those allegedly involved in any incidents! I have heard that we gave a list of 5 players that we would be interested in - and that's as far as the trail goes.

You may not pay cash, but there may be some 'under-writing' of contracts - which amounts to a similar thing, and it keeps your policy intact.

Interesting few days ahead - shame it didn't all happen in the close-season!

Then presumabley you aren't getting danny, well this season anyway??
To be honest Robinson ran him ragged so why you want him I don't know?!?!?

ok but we wont be letting him go for nowt and it would have to be to our benfit or we would say no.

Thats why I put that post on, its so difficult to choose the best option. This thing with Brough and Hudds has been going on far too long for there not to be something in it. For me Brough is one of those that has a plaster for every sore, it seems that whatever you offer him there will be something else that doesnt suit him. But back to the big question though, do you let him go or do you make him stay, just glad its not my call. So long as it works out for us I'm not fussed either way.

Your not wrong there, Even when he was at Salford he always saved his best game for us.

Tell you what Wadders old boy, If Broughy does go to your place there will be plenty on your board who have sworn blind that there is no way Brough is going there left with egg on there face

Yep Chizz its a tough call

However like I said remember Griff and what those shudds ts did to him

I think to be honest you've got to forget about the money, it's about weather or not his heart is in it, Kear will, know and make the decision, if one has to be made on that.
The money angle can work either way, I would imagine what's best for the team is number 1 priority, if we have to take 1 step back to take 2 forward later then so be it, it's his "kevin keegan selling andy cole and then buying alan shearer" moment!! If this is the case it shows kears continued commitment to the club, so maybe as DBs off at the end of the season anyway, it's a bit of a win win situation for us?

Isn't Korkidas still under a Giants contract...

yet he is the general of one the top teams in the country , i never rated mike ford but many others disagreed

yes I think that's right we have him on a seasons loan

That's why they need Brough.
