cheshireblue Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 There is no way we can rival the sort of offer doncaster would put his way..... It could also end in tears for Doncaster............Championship wages, big squad, big transfer fees..............but relatively small crowds and no guarantee of promotion. Been there with Chris Moore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edhunteruk Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Very true.... lets hope then that shez has had prior warning and is looking for an adequate,if not better solution to replace him. taylor allot macca and kalala isnt exactly great,but its all we have. if they do sign him lets hope they dont go up,serve him right.

leeslover Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Donny's moneybags owner is a known admirer of Kilkenny, so expect something from them. I guess it will be partly Kilkenny's decision, although Birmingham will want something out of it as well. I'm not sure myself that he is good enough to impose himself on a game often enough. I also don't believe that we are going to pay Wellens the wages that we refused to offer him a few months ago. I'm sure Shez has a plan for this scenario.

fleetwood Blue Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 an ideal replacement would be Carl Baker from Morcambe, an attacking midfielder who is good on the ball, he has scored 9 goals for morcambe this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoytonBlueLad Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I'm sure Shez has a plan for this scenario. He'll have targets in mind no doubt. He knew the loan was only until 1st January and there was always the chance he'd have to look elsewhere come now. Agree with the thing about Donny too. Can't keep snapping every "decent" player up from other sides and not see any return. Something has to give in the end. Rich man or not as we know.

BP1960 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Baker is going for a big fee, I'm afraid Latics can't afford him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oa_exile Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Baker is going for a big fee, I'm afraid Latics can't afford him. He is a good player was banging in the goals for Southport before his move to Morecambe in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 He is a good player was banging in the goals for Southport before his move to Morecambe in the summer. So why didnt Latics scouts pick him up then ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oa_exile Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 So why didnt Latics scouts pick him up then ? First of all they didnt ask me and secondly yet another who has slipped to net. Morecambe saw enough of him though i think they paid a transfer record for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanakapan Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Wasn't arguably our best ever side assembled on that basis? Henry and Milligan win it and give it Holden and Adams to do the biz. Agreed, not rocket science. KOTK Have always thought we need to get back to yard dogs. Shez in Chron..we need guile !!! Well isnt that supposed to be coming from our on loan Premiership level playmaker ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j@cko Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 accordin to a mate, (and its probebly a load o balls) but...if i dont mention it and it happns i'll be gutted cos i cant say i told ya so...anyway this mate o mine is well in at citeh, and he reckons we are signing a lad called Kelvin Etuhu on loan, is a product of thier youth policy and is in the same mould as paul moulden when it comes to scoring goals at his level, for those who dont know Moulden its a lot!

garcon Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Given that Kelvin Etuhu hasn't been a total stranger from the first team this season, I doubt it. But you never know. And you're right - you'd be gutted if you'd said nowt and it was true! Happy New Year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfOAFC Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 from an monetary point of view £100k does seem a massive, massive bargain. don't know if it's even possible but, if we were to match what Doncaster are offering it's surely got to be a good investment?? could easily get £500k to a million for him in the summer, couldn't we? he's not overly injury prone and we'd have also him insured I assume.

Well I think if your voting on a poll then this is the factor that says if its popular or not..... I dont really comment when voting...becuase my vote says it all 9/10 times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boundaryblue80 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 KK utterly overrated. On a good day a cracking player, on a bad one hes anonymous apart from his petulance getting him booked and him giving the ball to the oppo to score. KK cant unlock tight defences that visit BP. The 3 good games he's had at BP in the league this season have been Crewe, Donny and Luton. 2 came to play and gave KK the space for him to be effective. And still, albeit unjust, we only won 1 of them 3. As I said 3wks ago, its laughable IMO to suggest KK was destined for the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
