God we could do with him now

Ernest · Oct 28, 2014

Shame we didn't sign him permanently

southstandandy · Oct 28, 2014

A player of his ilk is just what we need now. If only...

BensGrandad · Oct 28, 2014

Wasnt that over money yet again even in those days as he wanted an allowance to move and your mate Dick refused to pay it.

Did we try? even if we did i think we could not offer enough back then,some things never change.

Man of Harveys · Oct 28, 2014

Top, top bloke - hero of Cardiff. Shame that we didn't have him for longer.

Razzoo · Oct 28, 2014

Scored a proper screamer against Chesterfield iirc.

Yeah, I remember that. Fantastic goal.

Wasn't the dispute something to do with him wanting some cash/fee to offset the difference in house prices between Stoke and Brighton.

BensGrandad · Oct 28, 2014

It was and DK refused to pay it.

Something like that. Think Aachen gave him something like 250k relocation and we couldn't match it. Long time ago so brain may be playing tricks!

Blimey, if he wanted that amount, no wonder we didn't sign him

He only played a few games in Germnany and we tried to resign him when he came back I think.

Refused, or couldn't afford it, or needed the money to spend on wages and rent for the rest of the team, and the ground.

Good luck Chris but I will always remember you for causing the best commentary reaction EVER:

BensGrandad · Oct 28, 2014

Not sure of the details but DK said No. At the time we had a number of wealthy supporters propping up the club, so it may have been them who said no but it came from DK as chairman, as it would

TWOCHOICEStom · Oct 28, 2014

That dive in Cardiff :bowdown:

No, you've got it spot on.

Another striker signing we've missed out on :angry:
