Reckon AN would have preferred to have him signed two weeks earlier though

Managers often talk about the importance of getting players in early to take as fuller part in pre-season as possible.

Seems like Hull were always going to sell at ?7m so not sure why we didn't just offer that earlier if we were happy to pay it ultimately.

  - The biggest being an acknowledged failure. And the third biggest (Hooper) landed us with (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Jul 24, 22:53:45

    - Brady will be given though, I'm sure (n/m) (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Jul 24, 22:54:36
      - Brady will be *fine* (n/m) (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Jul 24, 23:03:14
- Maybe they didnt think he was worth what was being asked. (NCFC) - usacanary, Jul 24, 22:44:44
  - No (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Jul 24, 22:51:47
    - No matter. (n/m) (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Jul 24, 23:16:10
    - we didnt offer 5p..... we offered millions for a player with 1 year left.... (NCFC) - usacanary, Jul 24, 22:52:51
      - You were talking about Mars bars in a shop. (n/m) (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Jul 24, 22:53:54
        
        never mind.....Im thinking the point is lost...... (NCFC) - usacanary, Jul 24, 22:56:49

        That's right, for the 'Mars Bar' that you referred to. (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Jul 24, 23:08:07
        
        If the Mars bar is normally one pound then offering 5p is redic. (NCFC) - usacanary, Jul 24, 23:11:30

        And the kit launches - could've been him instead of mulumbu or cafu (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jul 24, 23:13:15
        
        he WOULD not have signed then.... LOL (n/m) (NCFC) - usacanary, Jul 24, 23:14:22
        
        Ok (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Jul 24, 23:06:48
        
        yes, but we dont know if Hull were willing to sell at that point. (NCFC) - usacanary, Jul 24, 23:09:19
  - What if you ended up having to pay 7 million for it though? (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jul 24, 22:45:44
    - It had better have huge encrusted diamonds . (n/m) (NCFC) - usacanary, Jul 24, 22:51:53
      - Which would break your teeth and cost even more in dental fees (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jul 24, 23:14:16
- You know no details - if he ends up signing, job done McNally (n/m) (NCFC) - trianglepatch, Jul 24, 22:40:52
  - Reckon AN would have preferred to have him signed two weeks earlier though (NCFC) - Dr Baker, Jul 24, 22:55:19
    - and i would like 12 inch dick........guess 11 inches will have to do.... (n/m) (NCFC) - usacanary, Jul 24, 23:00:06
  - Correct (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jul 24, 22:46:05

      - not at all. My position is unchanged (n/m) (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Jul 24, 22:45:55
- He clearly has. The massive twat. Utterly ridiculous that we may have secured a top target (NCFC) - norway, Jul 24, 22:39:23
  - Think we tried to be professional and keep it under wraps but Hull chose to never shut up (NCFC) - shortfatb, Jul 24, 22:43:41
    - Don't dispute that they've gobbed off, but hell of a lot of smoke (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Jul 24, 22:44:57

  - It's fair to think that we've made very low, unrealistic offers resulting in this dragging (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Jul 24, 22:39:00
    - Looks like we've got our top target for ?7m (NCFC) - avenging canary, Jul 24, 22:42:48
      - exactly... we arnt even most other PL clubs who have rich owners... (n/m) (NCFC) - usacanary, Jul 24, 22:53:50

      - Give ya 5p (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jul 24, 22:47:11
        
        Cheapskate (NCFC) - King, Jul 24, 22:54:42
    - The only difference in this transfer over others, is that Hull have continually gobbed off (NCFC) - Yellalee, Jul 24, 22:40:42
