[BighandJon]

What worries me is the number of Elvis stories that the LCFC PR team have been putting out today. They always do things like that when bad news is coming... :icon_sad: I really hope its not true or were fecked... :icon_evil

Talksport reporting us having accepted a £1.5m bid for Connolly from Wigan.

oh no! £1.5m is pathetic! It will cost £1m to replace him probably, so it seems pointless selling him!

I wouldn't have taken anything below £2m!

Please don't let it be true!!

This on another forum. :icon_eek:

GTfox - Hi Soho, I can confirm the PA is reporting this as a 'done deal'....the good news is that City are rumoured to have agreed a deal for Riordan (Cardiff are now signing Kris Boyd) plus another player rumoured to a young Scandanavian striker.

 

[lazzer]

no confirmation on their boards they have just signed damien francis from norwich for 1.5

I have not seen anything on the NET. This is sus but it could be true.

I'd be pleased with Riordan... but I still hope Connolly isn't going.

A young Scandinavian striker makes sense as well, because Levein was scouting out there. Could be Jani Strum again

I havn't seen anything about it online, but I'm listening to Talk Sport at the moment to see if I hear them mention it, since they should have news in a minute seeing as it's half past...

i thought jarni sturm was from slovenia or something

Would prefer Gary O'Connor now to Riordan..IF Connolly goes.

GTFox never seems to be right anyway

 

[Yorkshire Vixen]

just hope we dont have to fret about who is going to replace him

 

[drummindefender]

what about boyd from hartlepool

 

[Graz]

Nothing on TalkSports news at 12.30

Although apparently they have more in depth sport news at 1pm

Someone email them and ask

 

[Graz]

Somebody listen to Talk Sport at 1pm for the sport centre, I need to go out

Surely £1.5m would be very good business indeed for a player who cost £0.5m a year ago - and this on a falling market. I'm surprised that anyone would pay over £1m.

If this is the case then all it shows is that Wigan felt they had to pay over the odds because they were desparate and Connelly's goals at the start of the season will have boosted his value - last Christmas we would have been lucky to get £300k for him.

IF the club has done the deal at that figure it is because the financial situation dictates - and it allows CL to bring another of his own signings on a longer (and probably cheaper) contract.

IF it is all true then it was a deal that Connelly would have jumped at - i.e. to be on the big TV stage every week - any professional would do that.
