[MilanoMackem]

He can fuck off and have all the tans and essex birds he wants now the wannabe playboy fuck.

50 pages lads. Must be obsessed.

 

[sksk3021]

sure we could not that we will but do think so with Advocaat

It's not impossible but any forward with any kind of pedigree at all is going to be £6m. Hopefully the club have identified someone but in a market where championship strikers are going for £8m-£15m they will be doing well.

Here's a news flash for some of our lot.

9 million is not a lot of money in PL terms in 2016. Some are acting like it's a bonanza.

Holmesdale.net which is CPFC forum are spunking over him and his potential and how great a deal it is. They will be in for a massive shock!

Has potential and only 22.

 

[Mowgli]

Sky are saying 9m plus add ons.

They aren't

 

[Shangri La]

That was 12 years ago

Eh? I'm aware.

I'm saying at the same age, the same season in terms of their career, Defoe managed 11 hoals in the Championship.

I think this is a very pragmatic decision and underlying it all is a piece of astute business.
He was coming to the end of his contact not so long ago and we filled his mouth with gold to stay. In doing so we boosted his value. Now that we have sold him we recoup most if not more than the ridiculous fee we paid for him and free up 60,000 smackeroonies a week. That's a significant contribution to the wages bill and one that he didn't really justify.
I like Connor and there is more than a grain of truth that he was always, and to his detriment , played out of position. But as the model of an old fashioned centre forward the consensus on here was that his decision making was poor, he didn't utilise his body strength and presented a poor ariel threat.
Sometimes things don't work out even with good will and the support of fans.
I don't think he will be that well remembered, maybe he will be one like Ally McCoist that will go on and do better things.
Just wish he hadn't gone to Palace though.

Very good balanced post

In safc terms it's 3 Liam bridcutts

 

[Shangri La]

What are his good attributes?

He scores more goals than our other strikers despite being just 22 and having played out of position all last season.

He's quicker than our other strikers.

Has more talent than our other strikers.

Tries harder than our other strikers (barring perhaps Graham, but )

How much would you be asking for Wickham ...... you seem quite sure £9 million is nowhere near enough.

 

[East Riding Mackem]

so we'll have one striker on a long-term contract and he's 32. Let's hope they've got a decent replacement line up (unlikely)

 

[Rickybilly]

Terrible deal.

Yeah, we should have insisted on them taking Graham as well.

 

[Laidback Jack]

He's a young English striker, we should be saying "Pay £10m or tough"

On a side issue, Palace are forking out quite a bit recently. Reckon they're planning on selling Bolasie?

Still shorter than Wickham!

Graham and Fletcher may as well not be there, they're hopeless

 

[Bear]

The Editor of the Daily Mirror Ed Malyon on Twitter reporting that's the basic fee for Wickham.

A bit undervalued?

Stopped reading there

 

[hank evans]

Shame everyone will prefer to believe the worst price quoted.

Ive heard 4.8million. They still us 50k off gabbiadini aswell. The fee is being paid in installments of 8k per week for 11 year. We are quids in.

 

[luvulongtime]

we can use the money to buy Alvarez

 

[Shangri La]

Yep, hopeless enough that literally nee one wants them, meaning we have had to sell our best striker.
