PlayItLivo Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 (edited) How much did we get for him? Best business in the world, in the history of ever. Edited May 13, 2011 by PlayItLivo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldhamSheridan Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 How much did we get for him? Best business in the world, in the history of ever. Now this is a good one. Best recent business £500k for Trotman. Best ever? Milligan £1M? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie_J Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 How much did we get for him? Best business in the world, in the history of ever. £250k, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No we always sell ourselves short you know we should of demanded a cool million when he was here. £750,000 for Scott Spencer and Neal Trottman and people think we sell on the cheap.

To be fair nobody questioned those deals. We have let players go on the cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie_J Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 And £250K for young Philiskirk too? Seems Philliskirk is signing with Sheff Utd permanently, so we'll be seeing him soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longtimeblue Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Apart from the summer of hell name them? Merely pointing out that you picked two transfers that weren't really critisised at the time, One of them for a young lad that people knew very little about and the other for a player that had played half a season or something... Think it was pretty much unanimous that half a mil was too much to turn. You can't pick and choose your facts to emphasise a point. Fair do's we got good deals on those (and others)... But we've sold on the cheap, and we'll do exactly the same in the Summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mighty_bosh Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 It seems ridiculous that we got an alleged combined £550k for Eardley and Eaves compared to the £750k for Trotman and Spencer. A sign of our recent financial situation I guess. Anyone know if we had any extra clauses for Eardley and Eaves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A sign of our recent financial situation I guess. Anyone know if we had any extra clauses for Eardley and Eaves? We got nothing on eardley I think its fair to say We are I believe from a Bolton supporting friend with contacts pretty well claused up with Tom Eaves £350k+ add ons for a striker who has yet to score a competitive senior goal is pretty good value for money. The reason we don't get any massive figures for anyone is because most of the players who come through the ranks here don't go on to great things. This year Eardley was the first player in a decade to come through our youth team and get into the premiership.

We will get what they are worth or what someone is willing to pay If we get half a million offer for any of our current crop I would bite their hands off.

A sign of our recent financial situation I guess. Anyone know if we had any extra clauses for Eardley and Eaves? Trotman - not far from the real deal when we sold. We did keep him on for a year when he was injured as a kid, crafty decision to sell maybe... Spencer - take the money and run. Enough money to take a kid away unless we really do think we have a Rooney on our hands, and if one develops late into a Rooney it doesn't make the decision wrong. It's the odds. Eaves - as above Eardley - probably would have moved on anyway, he did go very cheaply. The contractual position might have been better if it hadn't got to the stage where his mum was coming into the club saying that he wasn't going to be signing another contract because of the fans telling him he was :censored: all the time.

laticsmad Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Speaking off great players to leave Oldham. In the paper today Dennis Irwin was named in the Sunday Telegraph's all time greatest United team. He's in there with Keane, Cantona, Charlton, and one George Best. This man is surely the most talented player ever to pull on an Oldham shirt!? Feel free to disagree!

Stevie_J Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I don't disagree at all, Denis Irwin is one of the finest full backs ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 George hardwick made a fifa top 100 players ever, which is something of a top trump to pull. I never saw him do anything that Terrell couldnt have managed though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razza699 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I remember at the time it was a choice between him and Lewi for Everton with Lewi getting injured they opted for Spencer , both on the scrap him now. Spencer looks like he has a right billy big balls attitude Eaves lad if you are seeing the Spencer story thats not how to conduct your career if you are released by Bolton tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
