Osborne deal close, not sure on Asante and Gateshead's valuation of Jones wasn't deemed as value for money so we moved on.

Ginny, does that mean it's not far off, or am I being gormless and stupid?


I have no idea how far off it is, or even if it's still on at all.

Marcus getting frustrated with the negotiations.

Looks like we'll be ending the chase soon one way or another.

Some pretty strong stuff in there! Expect Solihull will cut off their nose to spite their face and lose him for nothing in the summer.

That's what I can see happening now too.

When they read these comments from Bignot they'll just dig their heels in even more or refuse to sell to us.

That wouldn't bother me too much because we're not in a relegation battle and aren't in desperate need for players. But I'd just hope that they player(s) concerned would still want to come to us in the summer for free, rather than have extra competition or higher level clubs in the chase.

I'd be interested to hear the other sides story but MB does sound sure of his and Towns position on this. Sure, we walk away and lose Osbrne but there are other players. Solihull though are left with an unsettled player who has clearly had his progress in football blocked. And Solihull lose any chance of getting Towns potential bunch of young stars on loan there.
Town under-evaluating, or someone at Moors with a bit of a grudge with Marcus?

No hint of any other bids either, maybe they're waiting on this 'bidding war' they all predicted, only to find other clubs reluctant to go above Towns valuation.
Hope to find out the whole story soon, once the deal is thrashed out and he's wearing a Town shirt.

Didn't arsenal only pay £50,000 for that young non league player they just signed?

Or SM are waiting for Bogle to be sold so they can ask for a greater wedge of cash upfront from a cash rich club.
