Surely they didn't think Halifax would give away their best striker for free. I wonder how much they're asking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Quick skim through their forum says they think 100k would be fair for Gregory, a few doubting whether he could cut it at this level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot on their forum suggesting he's League Two standard, but they still think he's worth £100k. Not that it matters, I don't think we'd even offer a third of that.

deyres42 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) If Johnson thinks this guy could be the difference between staying up or not then 100k is chicken feed really. Sounds as if we are on the limit budget wise though so imagine it depends on Rooney and Byrne going out the door before we see any in-comings.

LJ said we already have room in the budget for new players, but it's an issue of squad size and players would have to go. If think if he finds a striker and can bring him in, Rooney will be out of the door. Edited January 16, 2014 by dec666 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs synic Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 In the unlikely event we could sign him permanently for this season and next I couldn't care less if he's six weeks away. He'd be our second best player. based on the fact that hearts gave him a free transfer ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 based on the fact that hearts gave him a free transfer ?Yeah, because Hearts have loads of money like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfatjoe1 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 If we are lucky enough to sign a bit of quality then it will come at a price. Baxter and Croft were not natural athletes. Driver has a poor injury record. Goodwillie is a bit of a dick. Personally I like to see a touch of quality. Often worth the entrance fee and sometimes makes all the difference.

Perhaps we need someone to capture the imagination as in 1960 when the crowd pleaser Bobby Johnstone was signed..gates went from 4, 000 to 17, 000.

With respect BP gates were much better than 4000. Before Bobby J arrived the attendances were 8929 7784 6412 8398 10860 (my first Latics game) 6477 9824 the lowest two were mid week matches - 5.30 pm kick offs (before floodlights) But your point is well made ...

Perhaps I'm thinking of 1959 Pete when there seemed to be poor attendances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
