Colchester wanted a million, we wouldn't pay it, we continued our interest

trying to bargain them down to 700,000 or summit

I think they might have accepted that but we probably thought we'd get it down a bit more

Went on for ages, well over a year then Newcastle just waltzed in with 2 million and that was the end of that
