    I will not dispute what you write, and happily admit that I am not ITK.

    However, if JP has asked for 2.5 mill up front, do not be too surprised if at the last minute the goal posts move with regard to add ons too.

    It would be a very stupid move for a chairman known for his avarice not to cover as many bases as possible.

    All of the best for next season and to George also, whichever way things turn out.

    I do still think he is a mug if he does not even try to establish himself, in what is a currently understrength squad here first though.[/quote]

    It's what I was told mate. I've recently just read that Alan Nixon (mirror jouno) has said the 2.5m fee also. I'm told the club are confident, eventually. But the ball is in JP's court (Wimbledon theme)

    I was told WBA wanted 2.5m upfront plus add ons rising to 3m

    Derby have offered 2.25m plus add ons rising to 2.5m

    He will sign.. Monday?

    I've also heard from a very reliable source that the Bryson deal has been done and dusted a while

    Priceless for one who lectured us on how transfer fees are not the only cost of a player and how even free signings cost money, your now claiming that investment is only where the club pays a transfer fee - if it wasn't so pathetic it would be...wait for it

    COMEDY GOLD!

    Oh and the bit about Bryson signing a while ago is absolute ********.

    How could he have signed a while ago when Mc publicly stated he thought he had lost him? X

    He could have signed a while ago but he didn't

    There are always gonna be sceptics whom which I can agree with as to why the contracts are being announced over time. It could be seen as announcing good news over time to keep the fans happy for longer periods but in this instance it is not the case

    I trust my source 110% and certainIy wouldn't post it on a message board if I didn't knowing full well is be shot down in my prime if deemed false

    Everyone has and is welcome to there own opinions on what's going on.. I have my own

    Everything I have wrote on my last comment on this thread I have recently been told and was backed up by ssdr almost word for word. Can both our good sources be wrong and if so what was Craig Bryson doing in burnley on that Monday

    On the other hand, if it is true that it's been known to people that Bryson signed a while ago why has it never been posted anywhere. Why wait till after any announcement.. Beats me

    Hmm not looking so good - he's removed the picture of him playing for us from his Twitter account. Might not mean anything ...

    He will change it again next week to a photo of him shaking Mclarens hand, wearing a Derby shirt!
