Was great to see Nicky Forster last night on the tv. What great goals he scored for the Royals.

WBA have let Koren go for free... If we don't some one else in this league will... and he was a pain in the defence eveything we played them!

Millwall's Steve Morison looks pretty handy, especially if they don't get up, worth a punt?

Ideal Koren was on massive wages.

Under £20k per week (The Express & Star claim it frees up up to £1m in wages) and Baggies fans reckon he was on £15k per week.

Ideal And you think £15k-£20k would fit in well with our wage budget? We didn't want to pay Sidwell £20k when we were in the premier league.

Where did I say we could afford his wages? (and Sidwell was £25k)

I just thought I'd mention it as others have said he is on £30k per week.

EP is saying Zurab looks like being priced out of a move to us. I wonder who we are targeting at CB now?

Damn! Six figure sum apparently. Is he worth that much to us? My first reaction is no, but then again...

I've just read that article and I'm not very surprised by the whinging comments on there, the usual "£1 million is not a lot of money in football, is it?" guff. :roll:

It's that sort of attitude that could get the club into trouble. In the real world, a million is a fcuking lot of money. :roll:

£1m is seven figures.......

If Blackburn are only asking for £100k and that is pricing us out of a move him then times are gonna be bad this summer.....

I reckon with Zurab it'll be fee and wages being the problem. Maybe we should just wait and see what happens over the summer and try get him on a season long loan if nothing else turns up.

Another player who people rated in the past was Andrew Surman and there has a been rumour recently that he might be going back to Southampton. Could be worth a go as he was highly rated in the past.

Yeah, it's 7 figures, but that was the usual comment on that article.

We don't know exactly what the price was.

However, £999,999 is also 6 figures.

There will be lot's of free transfers around !

Looks like we are going to pick up two pretty usefull full backs for nothing so won;t be out of the question to find a centre back.

As mentioned I also don't think the Zurab deal will fall over on the basis of a fee. It may be that Zurab is telling Blackburn he wants the last year of his deal paid p, so they are telling us we have to pay them the equivalent of that for them to release him. There is room there for 3 parties to compromise - he accepts less than he may be entitled to, they pay a bit and we pay a bit. But of course that isn;t the angle that will be put on the table at the beginning of the talks.

You would imagine he would be owed some money by Blackburn as well, which could explain Blackburn holding out for a bit more of a transfer fee.

Have I missed something? Williams is one, I assume. Who's the other? Not Griffin is it?
