I admire your optimism Urchin. I think both would be great, although I prefer Burke (Brum) to Conway, and feel the latest valuation on Mason (as quoted in the recent press) sounds far too high.

OK. Sorry if I misunderstood.

Maybe we offered Barnes what he was worth as an average Championship striker? Maybe we respected AEA's wishes to play first-team football, because he was never going to be better than 3rd choice here? Maybe we offered Grabban what we judged him to be worth as a reasonable replacement for Ash...

You know Grabban was a winger as well as being able to play off of another striker or as a lone striker?

I must admit, I thought it was 5PM but, hey, the key thing is whether he does or doesn't sign.

Thank you. Hope you're right.

Who is Adrian Howard? Is he a reliable source?

Yes. 6 in 24, but a whole lot more. And he wanted to leave, so 'offloaded' is a bit misleading.

And he played as a winger in his earlier career too.

Have you listened to the EH radio interview (link in this thread)? He genuinely seems to think that, if Grabban goes, yes it would be good money, but he'd rather have the player. This suggests to me that we're not over-paying. £1.1m for a Championship striker not close to the end of his...

Penalties are goals, and most strikers score in spurts, so I don't really think any of that is relevant. Well, maybe the penalties bit.

Fair enough. I prefer to focus on his record this season in the Championship tho'; seems the most relevant.

10 in 24 seems reasonably prolific to me; almost 1 in 2. OK, not exactly Suarez, but what do you expect?

Posh Spice is a slapper She really loves to bang So when she's shagging Beckham She thinks of Lew Grabban

As long as it happens, I suppose...

Wow! OK, so hopefully this evening then.

Come on Lewis, you know it makes sense.

I hope so too.

IF...

Nov 2013 - he felt settled at Bournemouth. Fair enough. << Inserts release clause in contract. Also fair enough. >> Jan 2014 - << Release clause triggered. >> A reasonable chance of a crack at the Prem via the play-offs with Brighton. He talks to Brighton. Fair enough.
