    - but to be honest, that's stating the obvious, (NCFC) - NCFC4life, Dec 16, 12:59:19
      - and does that mean on a message board fans can't give an opinion (n/m) (NCFC) - Chopper, Dec 16, 16:11:41

  - A benefactor ? (NCFC) - Cannydc, Dec 16, 12:11:38

        When you factor in bonus and other benefits (n/m) (NCFC) - the Tilt Man, Apr 1, 20:09:56
        
        true, but it seems ridiculous to me that we find a good player (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 16, 12:43:45
        
        The asking price isn't reasonable. (NCFC) - Jono, Dec 16, 12:48:30
        
        Acording to Karen Brady we didnt even bid. (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 16, 12:51:08

        but until January, we can't find out what has been thrashed out behind closed doors (NCFC) - pants, Dec 16, 12:53:06
        
        we could still pick him up in January (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 16, 12:54:59
      - Yes... (NCFC) - Jono, Dec 16, 12:19:11
        
        Well as they said themsleves you can't make a profit in the championship. (n/m) (NCFC) - Andyjzr, Dec 16, 12:21:10
        
        However you can in the prem, our chance of getting there are 0 without invesment. (n/m) (NCFC) - Andyjzr, Dec 16, 12:25:10

        how do you know how much wages he would be willing to accept? (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 16, 12:26:45
        
        I'm speculating, of course... (NCFC) - Jono, Dec 16, 12:28:35
        
        he was NOT a key player, he was signed for a measly 1.25 million (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 16, 12:30:41
        
        He was a key player in their promotion year... (NCFC) - Jono, Dec 16, 12:34:27
