          this will all come down to who pays better wage
          now if its down to him wanting football every week then its us or bolton
          forgot to mention sunderland interested too,they can pay more than us in wages
          but i feel he will go to bolton before us.

            If Bobby wants him Whelan will get him. The Zog money will see to that. Unless noblot sell Cahill they have no money. The fact that they screwed £4m out of us for Ali makes me think they are badly in debt.

            As for Sunderland, SWP has already stated that he is settled in the Manchester area therefore may not want to up sticks if he can play for a local team.

            I’ve heard he just loves our 3rd kit and would kill to wear it!! ;)

            Not a chance, I wouldn’t have thought, if the lad is looking for around £50/60k in wages.

              I know what you’re saying Griff but if he gets moved on from City I can’t see anyone in the EPL being prepared to pay his wages. He is 30 in October and is a pace player, whose legs must be slowing down a bit.

              Having had phenomenal wages for 8 or 9 years I think he may take a drop to get more games.

              The next few days will be interesting. :think:

              Have to agree with young Griff here :shock:

              Whelan will not pay a fee and a good 3 year contract for those kind of wages. He possibly could if he was in his early 20s but the fact he is nearly 30 means his days as a big money winger have gone and Big Dave won’t sign a player unless there is a chance of a profit at the end of it. Sad to say but a fact, Shoe string again by the looks of it.

              Our best hope is a season long loan and maybe pay the full wage until his contract runs out and then he will move on somewhere else, Maybe West Ham or someone like that, Provided they come back up.

              Please forgive me i have just been on newsnow, I have committed internet suicide i know but on there it says that he was training with us last week while city were on tour. Could be an interesting development. I wonder if it was verbally agreed that we would loan him but city are trying to ship him off permanently at the last minute.

              it seems to be whelans recent policy, it hasnt always worked in the past, but i actually think that it is one of the main reasons we are about to start our seventh premiership season, and in fact one to be proud of, just as much as crewe or west ham are proud of their youth setups.

              just to add

              i wont lose any sleep if swp does not sign for us -he is one of the most overrated players i have ever seen – and he has also been crap every time he has played against us.

                So on that basis he’ll play in a couple of away games all season. That’s about SWP’s limit anyway. He epitomises the overpaid, underworked “Squad man”. He can run (or could run when he was younger) and his adopted dad’s a former footballer and a former TV presenter. And that’s about it.

                You’d be chucking money away on him and would be better spending the Nzog money on someone with age on their side and hunger in their belly. At least they’d give a fcuk!

                putting it that way you make him sound like one of those antipodean steroid built has beens you lot rely on.

                  Damn your eyes Yosser – you made me look.

                  However, on a positive note, and off topic I know, but at least we are not signing Barton…..

                  That article where DW gave an ‘exclusive’ to talksh1te stating that if Roberto wanted him then he would try to sign him.

                  This is how the conversation probably went….

                  “Hey son! what do you think of that Barton fella?”

                  “Wouldn’t touch him with a barge-pole boss”

                  “Great….I’ll get a little bit of kudos ont radio and tell ’em all that you’re the boss”.

                  Publicity is publicity – as they say (or do they?).

                  Oh, and Mr LMB please try not to lower yourself to Mutties level by bringing in the “the other sport”. You cannot reason with a (cough) man whose sole contribution to serving his Queen and country – and protector of our shores – is making sure that the overpaid pilots get their over-the-top allowances for ‘roughing it’ in the local Hilton.

                  Jury is still out on SWP….my mixed thoughts were not about how much it would cost rather…. is he good enough?….. would he fit in?…..do we (the team) and himself suit each other. After all, back on cost now, if we are to invest in an eighth season (to bring in the readies ) we need to speculate a little.

                      You really must improve on your reading…..I would recommend Sun Tzu……you being a military man and all that.

                      “Know your enemy……..” and other worthy words.

                      Sun Tzu, Cracking horse that at lower class races, :P :P :lol:
