[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

I refuse to believe Billy, goalscoring centre forward legend of this parish, would even consider doing such a thing.

I believe, according to contemporary terrace humour, Terry Curran possessed such an abomination,.

 

[spongebobblade]

I also strongly agree.

I would also like to strongly agree with your strong agreement

He should be shot, even if he does or does not tow a caravan on the Queens highways.

You are assuming that the deal never materialised because of NM and his Agent being BTC's.

Yet according to Richard Cadette, the Agent at least was eventually satisfied.

Now maybe NM on his own decided that he could get better elsewhere, and so turned you down?

But here's a more plausible explanation. The Agent started touting NM around some time back and realised SU were in the market for a striker. He spoke to you, saw you were v.interested, briefly overplayed his own hand (commission), but backed off so as not to scupper the deal. Terms were agreed between SU, player and agent.

SU then spoke to BFC, who were asking more than you were hoping/expecting/prepared to pay. In the end, CW would not go over his limit, as is his usual modus operandi, BFC would not go below it, as is ours, and so SU declined to lodge a bid (no point).

Which was the real reason NM's head wasn't in the right place: his best (only?) chance of getting his move to the PL this window now looked like foundering, because neither BFC or SU would budge.

"C'est la vie", comme disent les Français...

Nobody except the closest to each club knows the main reason he isn't here, probably come out in time but fir now who cares? We both

Barlow was the first United player that I can remember our fans booing.

Tony Fenoughty Fred?

Tony Fenoughty Fred?

Never saw him play BB, was he another booed by our own supporters ?

Yes, younger brother of Tom? Forward but generally got a bit of stick not in the Jones birchenal class but I remember him scoring a brilliant goal in front of the Kop from distance over McFaul? We were losing 0-2 and won 3-2 against Newcastle and that was the winner, well that's my memory of it as a young lad anyway! Bet silent remembers it.

 

[Champagneblade]

Wilder likely had both on his list of several potential strikers.

I'd say McBurnie was always one of the top ones because of what he can bring. You wouldn't say him and Maupay are the same type.

When it became apparent Maupay was messing about, whoever may that be, Wilder was happy to move onto Mousset and McBurnie as the pair he wants to sign.

I've been consistent to say I'd rather McBurnie than Maupay.

Maupay may be a future replacement for Sharp though he will have to improve his finishing to fill that void when it eventually comes up. Not a dig, by the way, quite a few Bees have said he needs a few chances. Though I hope Billy can be around scoring goals for a good few years.

You mean Tony Wagstaff? He scored the winner in the dying minutes. Don't remember the match as I was too young then.

I don't remember Tom Fenoughty having a brother
But we did have a Tony and Barry Wagstaff, but none of those mentioned on here so far were very good

Played together for Matlock Town

Obviously Tunstall Fred isn't as old as his avatar idle

Barry was a half back/ occasional CB and Tony played inside forward and occasionally striker. They both left us for Reading in 1969, pretty average players really as I recall (I wur only a lad) but they still amassed over 250 games for us between them.

Tom needed a bit more meat on him as I recall, he left for Chessy around the same time as the Wagstaff brothers went. I don’t recall his brothers playing for us Doc, were they on our books?

Thanks for that slight distraction, a joy to read. Now, back to business...….Has he signed yet?!

Pretty sure Mick was,don't think he made a first team appearance though.I think all three played for Chesterfield and Matlock Town.

Yep and Jim Iley ( ex blade ) scored a screamer for Newcastle.
Remember it pissed it down in the 2nd half and as you say we turned it round and won 3-2

[Rob86]

I think we wanted McBurnie and Maypay. Then Maupay (or agent) started thinking he was the GOAT and was going to wait for the big boys to come knocking and he’ll end up at.............. Brighton. GLTTL

I should imagine following the conversation Wilder had with him (or agent) there was a deadline set. He replies at the deadline that he’s still holding out and at that point Wilder says fuck him and quite right.

The player’s (agents) primary motivation is clearly salary, fair enough, but that not how we operate. You earn enhanced contracts and that’s how it is.

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Conor Coady would be an absolutely perfect signing for us. He has all of the attributes to be outstanding in the Basham role and can also cover DCM and potentially RWB. He's a great age, knows the place, a good leader and has plenty of Prem experience. He's one I wouldn't mind us throwing some money down for, he's as close to a guaranteed success as you could get.

Surely Coady is now a £30 million player.
It would be great, but realistically I can’t see how we afford him.

There's always a weirdness surrounding us and Coady. First, the fact that Liverpool sold him to Huddersfield for less than we'd allegedly already bid (obviously some subterfuge there). Then the outlandish rumour that we'd bid for him this time last year, despite the fact he was the captain of a Premier League side.

Tom was a great guy. He played golf at the same club as me when i was much younger. Think he became a chemist after finishing football from recollection.
