Here's hoping one of them is that Ipswich bid that has been rumoured!

it fucking annoys me that every other website knows more about this Parkin transfer than our own official site.

why can't they get a grip and inform us through this other than via a third party.

skysports.com have said that brighton have pulled out as the 700,000 price tag is too expensive for them. "even though the player himself (parkin) had an interest in us "(brighton).

Why do people think Parkin would not be interested in a move to Brighton? They are in the Championship, can pay higher wages and are close to his home. And don't say it would be a sideways move because it would be a step up in footballing terms.

Not sure their wages would be that much higher than ours. If you look at gate receipts etc.

Please be Ipswich. £700k would be a good price for Sam and hopefully give AK some transfer funds for a replacement. Beckett anyone?

have to disagree with you on that one, yes they are in the championship, but only just, they will again be odds on to go down as they have less money than us, last season they had to sell top players to survive eg.cullip,harding. and there is still no response from prescott over falmer.

plus they are a total bunch of fuckin cunts

sorry Melksham Red but that comment is bollox.

He needs to further his carrier and there is no way he would do this at a struggleing championship side.
Only way it is a move up is cos they are in the championship but probably only for 1 more season.
they have no chance of progresion up the league and will no way improve Parkin.

Who cares how close to his home it is as he has stated he would move if need be.

We are a struggling league 1 side, they a struggling Championship side. In footballing terms they are a division above us. If you're a footballer Brighton is a more attractive proposition. I think some people are letting the play-off defeat cloud their judgement.

It doesn't matter anyway because he will not go there.

Can't see why norwich would want Parkin, I see Ashton as quite a similar player, can't see them making a good partnership. I'm also hoping Ipswich, would be great to see Parkin on MOTD in a couple of years time!!

Just because he has spoken to some clubs does not mean that the bids have been accepted.

500k would be more realistic, I'd love to get as high as was rumoured but that's just a rumour.
