Surely not?

Wish I had known I would have bought him myself and used him as a chair

i would have put him in the hall as a coat rack

I would have put him in the bathroom as a toilet roll holder.

I would have used him as a washing line pole in the garden, fuck keeping him warm.

Id have bought him if someone would have lent me £200.

Stop being so horrible!He may use this site and comments like that could seriously affect his confidence!

Footballers have feelings too you know!

I hate when people on here post "internet warrior" type snipes about past or even present players when all they are guilty of is maybe not been quite as good as we had hoped when we signed them. Some people have no class.

Maybe theres some administrative fee involved with signing players? It could effectively be a 'free transfer' with the receiving club covering costs?

It's called having a laugh you miserable sod! I doubt he would actually let me use him as a washing line pole anyway.

I'd have thanked him for THAT goal in the FA cup

and a derby day goal.

No one in there right mind other than KK would have paid what we paid for Jon Macken. He had previously shown nothing other than being a decent championship striker.

My friends works in the media in the preston area and friends with people at Preston. Apparently they were going to accept £3M for him but Moyles instructed then to go with £5M and work there way down. They went back to City at £5m and we said fair enough.

Utter madness.

Not.
He went for "an undisclosed six figure sum".
And it wasn't 200.00

I fail to see the issue. He went on a free transfer from Palace to Derby and then Derby sold him for £200 to Barnsley one year later. Looks to my like good capitalistic practice by Derby making a profit in a bad economy.
