Crawley Town / Transfer Deadline Day

Post by BartonRaz »

Yesterday Matt Tubbs signed for Bournemouth for a fee believed to be £800k.

Today Peterborough have bid just shy of £2m to take Kyle McFadzean and Tyrone Barnett.

If they take that, plus the money from the FA Cup runs last season and this, I reckon they must be running a very tidy profit. Incredible really considering the amount of money they've thrown at it themselves.

Just need some good scouts and a rich backer willing to take a gamble and look what can happen.

Not really. What Raz is saying is that despite the fact they've thrown millions into the club, they're probably still making a profit. We didnt! In fact all the players we made a profit on, were sold for far less than what we could've got IMO

I've never really liked crawley town, but fair play to them, i just tend to think that it'll go wrong for them as seems to happen to most of the clubs who come into money

They've turned down £1.9m, mental.

Ridiculous from Crawley. I'd have taken the money and run for hills. Not a chance in hell either player is worth £950k.

having money doesn't mean you'll get anywhere, or win things. it's a gamble that very rarely pays off. much as i detest their manager, he seems to get results.
