'using the player as a makeweight'.
Implies player we want is valued more.
Can't be JB then.

interesting point carl about the trip to la galaxy,maybe the signs warning of singing and standing for periods of time may be a good idea.Hopefully diluting the stewards power hungry attitudes. :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Hope its not Burkey as he is a big favourite of mine.

However, we are all aware of his problems with his kids and ex wife.

Thanks for the update Carl. :ayatollah:
Out of interest how far north is north?

Any news of a defensive midfielder coming in to take the pressure of the defence? Granted we need a centre back and possibly left back but we also need to stop the opposition walking through our midfield.

Great update, always keep us guessing!!
I reckon Jay going to Newcastle with Leon Best or possibly Joey Barton or maybe Danny Guthrie as the make-weight.
Then again he could be off to Sunderland but don't know who we'd have off those, maybe Titus Bramble???
Just have to wait and see!!!

No need to name the player who's going.

Just give us the names of who it's not! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Seriously, I hope it's not Bothroyd.


defo not bothroyd carl said in the update we havent had any other offers that the club feel are acceptable!! :ayatollah:

carl could you confirm where wildig is going?

Cheers for the update aswell!! :ayatollah:

Re: " SUNDAY 23rd JANUARY 2011 UPDATE "

Wont be Burke , he said 2 days ago he wants to stay. :ayatollah:

Re: " SUNDAY 23rd JANUARY 2011 UPDATE "

Sun Jan 23, 2011 8:45 pm

Jay Bothroyd spoke with Newcastle and there was an offer made, which was part cash and involved a player heading South, Nile Ranger. City, turned the deal down and have yet to receive a bid that they deem acceptable for Jay.


Implies not Jay leaving as had no acceptable offer, where as seems like done deal for somebody else

Re: " SUNDAY 23rd JANUARY 2011 UPDATE "

Sun Jan 23, 2011 8:45 pm

Hopefully it is burke for conway, and not bothroyd for a sunderland player???

Burke is out of contract and there will prob be a small transfer fee involved.... burke hasnt been the same player this year and i think is missing his kid in scotland and the performances as showed this.

Cheers Cal, what's the situation with Matthews? I like him TBH, great prospect.

I think you have got it there though I don't really want Burke to go. But with his contract up in the summer I can see him go. Rae's time is up for certain.

Sun Jan 23, 2011 8:48 pm

Glad to hear that the meetings between Sam and TG have been going well, let’s hope a deal is struck quickly so we can put the whole matter behind us.

Also glad to hear Gethin is aware of the dire atmosphere at our stadium, turn Block 117 into a standing and signing section please Mr Jenkins!!!

Good update as usual Carl :thumbup:

Very good point, could see it being Matthews personally.

Re: " SUNDAY 23rd JANUARY 2011 UPDATE "

Sun Jan 23, 2011 8:49 pm

Pleased for Wildig, hopefully enjoy his stint and come back a better player.

Great money making suggestion by the way...I want a bit of commission I think!!

Think you are right blue Lloyd . Rae for Conway . Good deal

If Burke gets swapped for Conway then that's a joke because Burkey is superb and Dundee would be getting the massive end if the wedge! Also, what a massive step backwards for Burkey himself

Great work Carl, your liasing with the club is becoming ever stronger, and obviously a good link between club officials and fans. That can only be a good thing! Appreciate the time and effort you go to for being a spokesperson for us fans and a great correspondent for the club. Thanks for the read mate :ayatollah:

Re: " SUNDAY 23rd JANUARY 2011 UPDATE "

Sun Jan 23, 2011 8:50 pm

OOOOOHHHHHH WHAT IF ITS BURKE THE PLAYER GOING, TO CELTIC, WITH LEDLEY COMING BACK!!!! NOW THEN!!!

Re: " SUNDAY 23rd JANUARY 2011 UPDATE "

Sun Jan 23, 2011 8:51 pm

Carl with regard to the pitch, obviously we can't afford the lights, however do you know if the club has explored the possibility of using the millennium stadium's pitch lights? I would of thought Gethin would have a few contacts there and they can't be using them everyday. I know Wembley had a similar arrangment to borrow the pitch lights from Arsenal so it's not an unworkable idea.

Swap for Conway? Hope not - thought he was valued at around £200,000? Burke's gotta be worth more than that?


Not much more I imagine mate. Few hundred K more perhaps.

Obviously if Burke had a while left on contract he'd be worth more.

Anywhere in the SPL would be a backstep for him... as he could have a crack at the prem with us. However, family comes 1st.
