@Bennyy156 Think the story was planted to scare Bolton. Didn't work.

thank fvck for that i shat myself

Couldn't give a feck who they are in for. If we don't sell him then we get Cahill till at least the end of the season. If we do sell him then we make some money and can sign a few players

Not sure about the validity of this, he's claiming actual bid was 8m + 1m after 50 games + 2m more potentially.

That's by the by, the bit I'm interested in is the further one year option. Would that mean the club can enforce an extra year without Cahill's agreement? Surely not?

Can't see us going for that, can't see Cahill go for that one year option either

A writer from the times said that was the original offer, the one cited as "derisory" and reported at £6m...

Ahhh right. Still a bit of a crap offer even when you read the add ons

6 or 8 it's still a joke of an offer!

Aye, is the Alex thing supposed to worry us into selling Cahill for a ridiculously low price?

Often wondered whether something like this would exist ie if the release amount is not triggered then we can extend for a year so as to not lose out on a free.

Seems nuts that GC would agree to that now, but at the time it was signed things may have looked very different.

Yes, but remember, if we don't want to sell Cahill, we don't have to

True HRG, I'm relaxed either way.

Wheater, Knight, Steinnson, Robbo, Boyata, Ricketts, Riley, and maybe Connolly, can all play in the first team that's 8! If we get another body in that'll be 9 and I haven't even counted Alonso or Mears

Today's Metro reckons Spurs are back in the hat for our Gary after shipping 5 goals over the weekend....

[jimbo_bwfc]

Arsenal signed Per Mertesacker according to L'Equipe.

Big clumsy feck*. (Very) rich man's Zat Knight.

[Lofthouse Lower]

he's fu cking rubbish

Second bid "way short" of 12m rejected according to The Telegraph.

Also suggests we'd go for Dann if we sold Cahill. Would be very happy with all that happening. Birmingham are desperate for a sale.

[Lofthouse Lower]

Full text, for those not willing to follow jimbo's lies

Arsène Wenger made his original offer for Cahill, a long-term target, last week but saw a bid of just £6 million rejected out of hand by their Premier League rivals. Though the defender has a £17 million buy-out clause in his contract, Coyle would accept a compromise figure of around £12 million.

The Scot is adamant he will not deviate from that amount, though – insisting after Saturday’s defeat at Anfield that he would not “buckle” despite pressure from Arsenal – and sources at Bolton feel it is now unlikely Wenger will meet their asking price.

Coyle has lined up Scott Dann, the Birmingham centre back, as a replacement for Cahill should the former Aston Villa player leave. Dann is also thought to be a target for Blackburn, another club affected by Wenger’s desperate need for defensive reinforcements.

Dann is OK, nowt special

[mighty_whites]

I reckon that Spurs going to put in bid of player plus cash deal for Cahill. Maybe Bentley and hopefull Crouch or Pav with some cash so we can get Onouha?? I'd also sack off that lanky piece of shit Zat Knight and have Wheater and onouha cb's and boyata rb with alonso when fit lb decent defence.
