BP1960 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Is this a record level of giddiness over the signing of a full back? Gunner Halle ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsPete Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Gunner Halle ? Probably George Hardwick ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I vaguely recall some excitement when we signed Chris Armstrong, as he was highly regarded. Mind you there was as much excitement at the time that we might sign Jon Newby, and he never even joined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Gunner Halle ? I don't think there was ANY excitement around us signing Gunnar as he was a complete unknown before he came to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddySmoker Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I don't think there was ANY excitement around us signing Gunnar as he was a complete unknown before he came to us. I was excited since he had a ready made chant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusoe Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Started at Bury. We signed him for about £200,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueatheart Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Started at Bury. We signed him for about £200,000. And we sold him for significantly less than his value at the time. But that's water under the bridge. He had to retire about three or four years ago as he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 We took peanuts for him as it was slap bang in the middle of our financial meltdown. Same as the others who left at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Clint Hill and Fitz Hall. Regularly premiership and championship performers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latics_Fanatic Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Imagine us spending £200,000 on a player these days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Imagine us spending £200,000 on a player these days... Latics paid a fee of £200,000 for Kenny Clements way back in 1979. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoytonLatics Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Have we paid a fee for Mills? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddySmoker Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Have we paid a fee for Mills? Yes take 5 noughts off the Kenny Clements figure and then divide it by 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Sinnott Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Yes take 5 noughts off the Kenny Clements figure and then divide it by 2 So, 1 pound then...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddySmoker Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 So, 1 pound then...? give or take a quid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngen Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 So, 1 pound then...? Technically if you take 5 x 0 (nought) away from £200,000 and then divide by 2, you get £100,000. Give or take a pound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimsleftfoot Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 If the Bosman ruling did not exist, we would still making signings for big cash money, though selling for more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Og Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Possibly true but no-one can reasonably defend the idea that selling players who have no contract was logical or moral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
