He was a key player in their promotion year...

...and he renegotiated his contract. And £1.25 mil is not measly, its a lot of money for a Champ club.

And there's no solid evidence that Hucks will retire, just talk.

Besides, we need to live within our means, live Canny said. We can't offer players that sort of money at the moment. Taylor's a good player, and I'd be over the moon if we signed him, but I reckon there's cheaper about who would be as good.

        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
