does this mean we can shut this thread down and start up a new striker thread

[Westbars Spireite]

Pretty much. He'd have signed if we'd come up with the readies.

Rob Staton just tweeted he's signed for the Blunts

Someone had better tell Chris Turner!

I'm actually more depressed and seeing him clutch that Blunts shirt than I am about town missing out on his signature.

I didn't realise (if true) that he was actually sat there pen in hand ready to sign for us when DA pulled the deal.

Also, watch him score a goal that's significant to us at the last game of the season

[Westbars Spireite]

I don't know how close a deal was. Where did you hear that?

[LuSiVe]

From the same person that said Leeds second bid for Cooper was £650k, so ....

Oh no! crisis! people are so melodramatic, player chooses one other club over another, can we move on?

[LuSiVe]

But might explain why Cookie was so, so angry at the lack of money for a striker, making us look stupid etc ...

just heard his interview on Radio Sheffield

what he said, along the lines of "this is the right move for me and my family and I turned down loads of clubs"

what he meant "nobody could pay me what I wanted but Sheff U could, so here I am"

spot on

That's exactly what I had heard and that's the only reason the whole ordeal has frustrated me so much.

[Trigger]

In hindsight, if cooper does leave for a million, maybe not signing him would have been a mistake.

But without a time machine or mystic meg, how was we to know?

[Radders]

I was kind of hoping this Higdon thread would run and run - but now he's signed for the blunts he can do one! We have better things to write about

[LuSiVe]

Do we?

Saves you having to update the index that you said you were going to do on page 75, if it dies now

[LuSiVe]

This thread will never die. We'll spend the season:

a) Complaining about all the goals he's scoring for Sheff Utd and how we should have ponied up the cash
b) Laughing as he gets banged up for decking someone in one of Sheffield's many fine pubs and thanking deity we didn't

In fact there are more Higdon related posts now than there has been for weeks

Gutted he'll be playing for the blunts and not us next season, but at the end of the day if we cant afford him we cant afford him
