CONFIRMED David Brooks to Bournemouth

[Nicolaus_Copernicus]

That didn't take as long as I thought it would, £3m per minute or £3m per goal, and £1.5 each for the drag back & the shot off the post. I'm now off to get pissed on pimms in my back garden. UTFB

 

[bromtom]

Bastards.

 

[hazzasufc_]

Typo, corrected it.

Bit of a generous estimate there

 

[Cerberus Blade]

Probably wise to put undisclosed... if we publish £12m, then any club we want to sign players from have the "you have the money to bid more" argument

Won’t make any difference. Everyone knows the kind of money that’s proposed to be changing hands.

As for the announcement, I posted earlier in the week that it would be today as Sunday is always a good day to bury bad news.

How bad it is though depends on what Chris is allowed to do with the proceeds. If he can add 2 or 3 quality players in key positions then it may just be very good news after all.

We need 5 players brought in at a minimum.

 

[Muttley]

I bet our pair of "leaders" are now shitting bricks with the thoughts of having to part with a decent amount of cash to keep people happy.
We'll see.

 

[Blade58]

Well whilst some are disappointed in his departure, I am glad that at least it's over. If CW has sanctioned this move and it seems he has and the player has initiated his move, then that's good enough for me

Time to move on

 

[bromtom]

Wonder if he'll say owt on social media. Thanks United etc or just fuck off straight to the baby Bentley showroom.

Edit: Here it is.

 

[LS5 Blade]

Im immune to it now to be honest. We've all seen enough times that we will accept all bids under the "you cant stop someone playing in the Premier League" line from McCabe.

The rumours of his wage going up 10 fold is a no-brainer for anyone to use as a reason to go, we would all do the same.

The only thing that grates is the imbalance of money in the English game. A club the size of Chesterfield is now using us as a feeder club due to TV money being 95% of their turnover!

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

Genuinely, GLTTL.

Undisclosed doesn't surprise me, I have no faith that we got a good deal.

A future star.

 

[Blade58]

Quality ITK info from “twirlo” there.

Tbf, he did say he could've been wound up by his/CW's mate

 

[Booker4]

No quote yet from Brooks on his time with us. I hope we do get a Radio Sheffield Interview at some point. Always be thankful for last season and his derby game.He cost us nothing and leaves for 12 million plus. Hope he does well even though he' joined a poxy, crap, tin pot club - slightly annoyed at losing our best player to chuffing Bournemouth but that's money for you.

 

[Sean Thornton]

I see Madines transfer fee has gone up to £8 million in an attempt to prove a point. (Watch the Cardiff Chairman query it when they get £500k for him in January).

 

[Ricky]

Edit: Here it is.

This 'once a Blade' stuff is incredibly hollow and tiresome from these players as they fuck off to the likes of Bournemouth.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Weers twenteh milyon bids gone ?

Or even £13m?

How is it burying bad news?its been reported all week.

Comes from Warrington, plays a handful of ok games and leaves for fucking Bournemouth after an agent turns his head.

“Once a blade”

 

[Muttley]

He could've waited another season as we gain promotion. Not much faith in us doing that then has he?

 

[grafikhaus]

Best of luck, David. If you progress it'll be because 'we gave you away' (nowt to do with playing with far better players). A good fee and it enables us to build on The Wilder Project.

All the best.

 

[bromtom]

Yep. If you were a fucking Blade (and he should be one more than most) you wouldn't fuck us off first chance you get. Honestly just feel like I can't say glttl on this one, as bitter as that makes me. No malice from me, but no well wishes either.

Yeah money etc but even with us he'd have been on half a million a year I'd imagine, unless he owes fucking £1.5m to shopacheck or something you'd have thought he could've had a go at going up with us.

 

[Harry's Game]

Undisclosed fee..

Are they going out of their way to piss off as many fans as possible this week?

 

[Rodders]

I see Madines transfer fee has gone up to £8 million in an attempt to prove a point. (Watch the Cardiff Chairman query it when they get £500k for him in January).

How much was the Madine fee?

 

[Sean Thornton]

How much was the Madine fee?

£6m. As reported from every source I've seen ( not exhaustive of course). It's been stated on here enough though , you must have missed it.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Maybe Bournemouth wanted it to be announced as undisclosed? Wild crazy thinking I know......

 

[Harry's Game]

Maybe.

Seems to happen an awful lot with our transfers out though doesn’t it?

 

[Sean Thornton]

Maybe.

It happens a lot to other deals as well. Not saying you're wrong, but we don't know do we?

 

[Muttley]

....and lets not forget to congratulate his greedy agents who will no doubt have threatened him with a "swim weeth the feeeshes" if he didn't move and make them even more money. Bastards.

 

[Boxer Blade]

Move on, as we all know its football,it happens, as disappointing as it is, a couple of quality signings in the next 48 hours and Brooks will be history, Wilder will be making a statement soon about it all and knowing Chris he will calm us all down and then build us all up, its what he's good at, he will tell us that the owners have reminded him of their promise to let him have the full amount of the Brooks fee plus the original budget and he will thank them for it, hiw good would that make you feel, it would me just so I can laugh at all owner haters and bashers choking on their cornflakes, I reckon a few, not a lot would actually hate to here that statement from Wilder.

 

[hazzasufc_]

Fuck me what a shit week

Did they promise him that though? I’ve seen quotes about improved budget but nothing about money from sales.
