Stearman

[alex]

Totally agree FT. If Sunderland came in with anything 'silly' then we'd sell. No one cares about looking foolish when millions are concerned.

You can't imagine this then Duzza?


"We were desperate to keep hold of Richard, our long was to term goal to build the team around him. However, Richards desire to further his career and play Premiership football combined with the huge sums of money involved meant that the best decision was to allow Richard to leave. We are sorry to see Richard leave and wish him all the best for the future."

Absolutley! but not today

 

[PFKAKTF FOX]

Every player at the club has a price that the club would sell at

Exactly what I was saying.

 

[Melton Fox]

Exactly what I was saying.

I said it first

 

[Durham Fox]

Exactly what I was saying.

Sunderlands bid must way off their valuation though for them to come out with this statement.

Why not today ??

The club didnt care last year about foolish statements made about Connolly especially with over 3m burning a hole in their back pocket.

Really do not think anybody at the club would give a flying fcuk about earlier statements made today, if they have just sold Stearman for above 2m.

 

[Jeff]

Exactly what I was saying.

What you said is "I think the club may be aware of interest from the premiership and are possibly holding out for a higher bid. I would not be at all surprised to see Stearman move on today"

Which makes it sound as though they're actively trying to sell him. If they were trying to sell him I don't think they'd have made that statement, knowing they'd end up having egg on their faces by the end of the day. If a huge bid comes in of course they'd sell, but I don't think they're expecting it to happen.

Well I agree but why make the statement then, there was no need.

Or they are trying to force Sunderland's hand into making a 'silly' offer.

My point jeffrey, thank you.

Our understanding is that it was a 7 figure bid, but nowhere near a price the club would sell at.

Apparently the outgoing phone line at the Stadium of Light is red hot as they throw bids around to see what they can hook.

If they've offered say £500k, they are not suddenly going to jump to £2m (incidentally i dont think theyd sell for less than £3m)

 

[PFKAKTF FOX]

Well I agree but why make the statement then, there was no need.

So when they do sell they can stress that it was because it was such an amazing offer as opposed to the fact that they have sold because we are skint or lack ambition. Fecking obvious really.

I think you need to chill out a bit :icon_wink

He's still a city player for fecks sake!

 

[Melton Fox]

The club can only have released that statement on the official website for one reason and one reason alone.

If they didn't want to sell him, they should have clammed up and hoped to god that nobody else came sniffing. If it was an innocent statement, then the f*ckers need sacking

The story had already appeared on other websites, if they had made no comment it would have just fueled the speculation.

How long does he have left on his contract?
