Theres still allsorts of talk amongst our fans that your club are interested in signing Bradders, and have made an improved bid after the original offer of 850k.
The summer window closes this week of course, so do you reckon the bid of over 1 mill will be officially put on the table ?.
It is possible Acido, although nothing on our official site. We don't usually spend a great deal although we bought a Cech international winger for £850, 000 last week. I see you had an ace result on sat, I reckon you will be coming back up for next season.Quote:

We think Bradshaw wants out and that a deal will be worked out with some team, maybe for exactly £1 mill. We signed him for 850k and are always looking to sell for a profit.
£1 mill seems reasonable, he is a good player, and you have just shelled out £500,000 for a midfielder from Bury. The improved offer is in the Sun.Quote:

We value Bradshaw at over £2 mill because of what he might be worth to us at this level this season, and hes got some of his contract left as well. But as usual we'll end up selling him on the cheap, and it will be 'undisclosed'!.
Remember signing this star striker from us in '82, we were all really disappointed to see him go at the time and it was a really low tribunal fixed fee as well. That accent is ghastly though isn't it. :P

I missed that period of footie Acido as I was working in the middle east on oil rigs, but sounded a good time. He has a good recollection of Barnsley and your fans though, as for the accent, was his or the interviewer's the worse, no they are both good.Quote:

I like the bit about the massive culture shock of going up north or down south, when its something your not used to as a young player.
Well its happened, and its a pathetic piece of business for us to be honest. Why on earth didn't we sell him properly then before the window closed, instead of doing this 'loan with a view to a permanant deal' thing ?. :O
Apparently its the most Millwall have ever paid for somebody (when the full amount is eventually paid), but not surprisingly the amount and the length of the eventual signed contract are both undisclosed!.

Yep, seems it will be £1.25 MILL a fair price as I said before but we welcome him to the Den. I have posted on your site with some reasons Thread... Like you I was surprised.Quote:
