New signings?

[Rich]

Evans, Treacy and France.

What I want to know is what happened to Little and Gray?

 

[ThatJa]

As Blackwell said, he'll make his mind up before tomorrow.

 

[Hartyblade]

Can someone please give some information on Treacy and France? All i know is France played for hull and was trialing on the darker side of town.

here you are confirmation of deals

 

[Sensiblade]

Wiki for Evans needs updating
as does France's

 

[Rich]

ta. Didn't hear/see the press conference so thanks for that.

Not too bad, hopefully with Treacle and Evans being youngsters it'll add a bit of zip. Not sure about the £3m price tag on Evans though, hopefully somebody knows something I don't.

 

[uniblade]

£3M Lol

If we are promoted and he plays in 99.9 % of our games

Probable fee £1.5M

haha, not much chance of that happening then..

 

[Hartyblade]

Evans will be a star this season. Think it's some good business and happy for once we are taking a gamble.

Also, im laughing to hard at all the threats some piggys are giving Ryan France on my facebook. lmao!

 

[dj_uk_1234]

£3 million for Evans if it's straight up front is a bit steep.

Also, heard 7k a week wages for France? Again, lot of money if he has a dodge knee.

Promotion - doubt it!

 

[Foxy]

£3 million for Evans if it's straight up front is a bit steep.

It rises to £3mil based on clauses. They also have a sell-on clause.

 

[Bladesman]

What about Walker returning on loan?

 

[madeinsheffield]

What about Walker returning on loan?

I'll take that, I think he'll give his all, seen him U18s etc and he always looked committed

 

[Jimbo]

Considering France has spent all preseason on trial at W*den*sday, only to turn them down out of the blue and sign for us.... he's just become my all time favourite United player ever!!! Just for attitude alone he deserves a Commemorative Wall!

@Foxy

do you know if there was a sell on clause put in the deal for Naughton & Walker?

 

[Foxy]

@Foxy

It's standard policy now to add a sell on clause to any of our academy graduates. As to whether or not Harry has compensated us in other ways to get round this i'm not sure.

I'd have thought we will have a clause on both of them.

 

[Come from away]

I know it's early days but has anyone seen France and Treacy play??? OR will Bury and Lincoln be our first look? I suppose this reduces the odds for Gray and perhaps Little.

He didn't really turn us down out of the blue.

We saw a problem with his knee, we offered him a deal because he was dodgy and may be injury prone, you offered him a better deal, he took your offer.

Anyone would do the same.

 

[Jimbo]

you offered him a better deal, he took your offer.QUOTE]


I'm guessing the 'better deal' we offered was the opportunity to play for anyone other than W*dnesday!

 

[Foxy]

The problem with his knee only really emerged this morning though, after he'd signed for the blades. Before that Mr Laws failed to mention it funnily enough

Yeah, funny that!
I hope someone's picked his dummy up for him, it looked a little like he dropped it... or did he spit it out? I'm not sure.

Of course. It would be us lying.

 

[Foxy]

Of course. It would be us lying.

Just think its quite convienient that we only get a statement about his knee this morning... After they knew full well he'd signed for United. Yet, they did actually offer him a deal anyway.

BTW - the £7k rumour is wide of the mark according to what i've heard. If my source is correct, you are in big trouble if you couldn't offer him more

Do you think the positive spin on the failure to sign the other contracts is also a shining example of the truth?

 

[Come from away]

We apparently are still after O'Toole who just had a knee injury. I guess this is why we have medical specialists who can judge the level of risk. Nobody can anticipate what happened to Bullard for example. Hulse seems to have comeback OK, although it took a couple of years.

According to BBC they couldn't offer Woods or Spurr a decent new contract either.

Do I get the sense this shiny new Strafford Revolution isn't really all it was cracked up to be?

 

[Foxy]

Don't worry, the KFC king has spoken to put an end to their concerns:

Today is officially the great big spitting of dummies and going over board without understaning the full facts day.

Also happening today is "Ye Olde Fudders jumping in on the feeding frenzy whilst making sure that they don't use the ID's that won't get a following day."

Have at it dudes!!! - oh most of you didn't wait for the invite

[puts iPhone back and goes back to chilling out]

and..

Guys you need to stop using the same phrases as GHO bluewotsisname ben et al!!!!

Sorry only trying to help as clearly you are never gonna move on so I thought it would be more interesting if you made it harder to be spotted

PS - kivo and t'other dummy spitters - today is not a day for me to attempt major dialogue, it's the last day of my so called first break since getting involved in raising the titanic - will just say "Trust & Faith.....we shouldn't have to explain everything in great detail" and "when did we ever say it was gonna be easy".

Fulham knew he needed an op at some point in next season or two, all that money every week and he's on physios bench...stinker

hhmmm and still no buyers, is it pigsh*t or bullsh*t coming from S6, he's no better than Sheard, false hopes and promises, he's conned em all.......serves them right

 

[Sensiblade]

Wendy's keep going on about France's Knee problems.
Is it me or do pretty much all Wendy players have injury problems at a higher % than most teams?

Yeah, I've heard Swine Flu's getting worse!
