Kilgallon latest - hold onto your hats

[Ollessendro]

Wasn't it from Newcastle?

I think we truned down £3 million bids from both Newcastle and Boro.

 

[Autumn]

3 million? 4 million? They were never that high, plus it came with terms attached....Ones people would have whinged even more at.

A couple of loans there might be and Kyle N makes sense if and when Killa goes.
But we're looking at short term expediency for the timebeing.

are you Yoda in disguise?

Hmmm, much negativity I sense in you Lenners

But in reality that mans that Killgallon has calculated that he'll get a better deal by walking on a free at the end of he season. Should an offer come in that make's that not the case, he'll be off like a shot.

He has no Loyalty to SUFC, just like any other player. Sad but true.

Seems like they couldnt afford his excessive wage demands.

 

[Autumn]

See just shows no one listens, I've already told you all over the last 6 weeks his wage demands.....

I've mentioned what the scouts from various clubs say, and he's not worth the 28K plus benefits Paul is asking.

I've already been bollocked anyways for talking on the forum about it, so sod it

I mentioned them when he first put himself on Sky Sports News, and a few people said we should pay what he wants!

 

[alcoblade]

He'll be off nowhere before the end of the season unless United decide the money is acceptable, in which case he's got every right to go.

errrm, yes....

I'm not sure what your point is. My point is only that Kilgallon is doing what all players do - screwing the best deal for himself. I only raised it because it was suggested that what he'd done was refreshing. I doubt I'm alone in not viewing the workings of grotesquely over paid footballers as "refreshing". More a sad reflection of human nature at it's worst.

Trust me, I don't know who's more deluded, them or Paul and Matt. He'll end up at Everton, good relations over there.

I can't legally scan and put up official documents, if I could I would, but you were right even back then

yes everton not heard fee yet

 

[Foxy]

He'd was parked in the car park as normal.

Car needed a wash though, perhaps he did that instead?

 

[tomtheblade]

yes everton not heard fee yet

They probably think they're getting Jagielka mk.2


They're not.

 

[Linz]

He was sat behind the Blades bench in his post-match suit (which involved a very nice purple suit and tie combination).

Maybe we're reading too much into it and had a late fitness test? When Beattie was "poorly" with the "flu", I didn't see him round the club.

He supposedly wasn't fit enough.

With Seip making a good start to his blades career so far, would it have been sensible to risk Killa anyway?

 

[alcoblade]

But if he doesn't break his contract how is he disloyal?

He's clealry talked to Burnley and would have been off like a shot if they'd paid him the required £28,000 for every "working" week. He's neither loyal or disloyal - just out for himself, like every other footballer. I'm not knocking him, I just don't find it "refreshing". (I wish I hadn't got into this.... )

Would the blades give Killa a signing off fee?

 

[Chingo]

The sooner he gets out of here the better , he will be playing to avoid injury ala M Brown if he stays ... if he goes we can get a few players in and everybody wins.

Can't blame him but I have heard there is no way we could have matched the terms he was after.

I thought a pre-season friendly was more our style?
