£300k with add-ons according to Fordham. The Crawley manager expected big money if they sold. He wont be happy with that, surely.

I'm shocked and embarrassed tbh, a club with real ambition like Southampton would never bring a guy in from a lower league like this!

Oh, wait...

Can't wait to see what kind of crap the official RFC press officer can make up to make this sounds like we're showing intent of staying up etc etc. :roll:

Interesting that he played in the reserves game against QPR.

Still think this is a purchase for next year, not that I have any problems with that.

CamberleyRoyal Sat in the hotel at the stadium and Brian is sat with three chaps. One is a player (young coloured guy with a beard) and the other two are agents/lawyers.
They are sat by the bar to the right on the seats under the TV with Sky Sports on.


So not Akpan if he really had a beard, unless he was able to shave it off and get to the QPR game by 12:45.

Well I'm pleased with this even if you lot aren't.

Worth watching this if you have player.

Calm, confident and assured on the ball, strong, quick..

Looks to be everything we've been lacking in midfield this season.

Welcome Hope.

I to am disgusted at this signing, we need to sign players that will make us competitive against the likes of Man Utd/Arsenal/Everton etc.... However instead we sign players that can hardly cope with teams like Swindon Town!

Lets just accept relegation now and look forward to visits to the likes of Bristol City!
