Quote The race to sign Jermaine Easter is firmly on after Franchise and Swindon Town both lodged bids for the Welsh international, skysports.com can confirm. The 25-year-old striker is set to start the season with Wycombe but his long-term future appears to be very much in doubt. Both the Dons and Robins have now made firm offers but it is understood a host of other clubs are ready to launch counter bids. Interest mounts Cardiff, Swansea, Bristol City, Millwall and Queens Park Rangers are also amongst the clubs said to be looking at the player. Easter has always admitted he is happy with The Chairboys, but he may find the option to move tempting. Wycombe will decide on Easter's future over the coming days but may find it hard to hang onto one of the most highly-rated players in the lower leagues. http://img.skysports.com/07/08/218x298/easter_553803.jpg Title: Easter Eggs? Post by: sonic youth on Friday, August 10, 2007, 17:18:02 now he would be a good signing.
Title: Easter Eggs? Post by: DV on Friday, August 10, 2007, 17:18:46 Hmmmm has a good track record.....
Title: Easter Eggs? Post by: lebowski on Friday, August 10, 2007, 17:19:07 i would imagine this is agent talk to stir up a bidding war.
Title: Easter Eggs? Post by: DerbyRed on Friday, August 10, 2007, 17:20:22 Also would take a decent fee to prize him away (as it would Asamoah).
Interesting! Title: Easter Eggs? Post by: Dazzza on Friday, August 10, 2007, 17:21:36 19 goals in 28 appearances last season 15 of those as a sub. 8 in eighteen at Stockpork the season before. He's one of those that has had a lot of clubs but until last season never really got a lot of games under his belt.
Decent record where he's been mind and got 7 in 7 in the league cup last year. That said they paid 80k for him last season and I can't see Wycombe letting him go on the cheap. They're thinner up top than Fatbury. Title: Easter Eggs? Post by: strooood on Friday, August 10, 2007, 17:23:11 that's exactly the signing we need.
will never, ever happen. Title: Easter Eggs? Post by: Arriba on Friday, August 10, 2007, 17:23:27 had a good game against us here last season.
would be pleased if we landed him Title: Easter Eggs? Post by: lebowski on Friday, August 10, 2007, 17:23:29 Franchise have just received £1m+ for mcleod so they'll be able to top whatever we can offer.
Title: Easter Eggs? Post by: Kinky Tom on Friday, August 10, 2007, 17:25:46 30% went to Derby though and it's 1.1 mil to start with, granted that's still a lot of money but the stadium has cost a lot more than they anticipated, furthermore if Easter chose MK then he's a cock anyway.
Title: Easter Eggs? Post by: Dazzza on Friday, August 10, 2007, 17:29:51 Quote from: "lebowski" Franchise have just received £1m+ for mcleod so they'll be able to top whatever we can offer. Except league one football. :twisted: Had to get that motherfucka in. That said they slapped a £675,000 price tag on their "ace hitman in an effort to ward predators away and have not received an offer since Romanian first division outfit Universitatea Craiova made a move for him in December." Plus I think he's sniffing around trying to get back in the Welsh squad by the sounds of it. Title: Easter Eggs? Post by: newmarket red on Friday, August 10, 2007, 17:45:56 Were the hell have we got the money to lodge a bid for jermaine easter the takeover isnt done yet so how can we enter in to the transfer market.Surley he wont be a cheap buy after last seasons cup run and remember he scored against chelsea if i remember wycombe wanted 750,000 pounds for him we cant compete with that surley.
Title: Easter Eggs? Post by: Batch on Friday, August 10, 2007, 17:59:46 If we have lodged a serious bid for Easter it suggests the 'takeover/investment' is done bar the shouting.
I'll be amazed if our offer matches Wycombe's valuation, even if the takeover goes through. Title: Easter Eggs? Post by: Red81 on Friday, August 10, 2007, 18:13:45 Scored against Chelsea in the cup if my memory serves me correctly.
Title: Easter Eggs? Post by: fatbury on Friday, August 10, 2007, 18:14:36 wed have to sell Brez to buy him!
Title: Easter Eggs? Post by: Rich Pullen on Friday, August 10, 2007, 18:31:42 I remember Gary Johnson wanted him at Bristol City but he pulled out because he wasn't happy with Easter's attitude when they met to discuss a deal pre-Wycombe.
Title: Easter Eggs? Post by: Kinky Tom on Friday, August 10, 2007, 18:35:39 Perhaps his attitude was that Shitty is a crap club and he would rather die than play for them...
Title: Easter Eggs? Post by: Power to people on Friday, August 10, 2007, 18:46:29 How the hell can we afford him, I think Sturrock is after anotehr target man type though not a speedy forward...although he would be good but can only see it as either Agent talk (who is his agent ?) or Wycombe wanting to sell so link him with a few club's looking for strikers to bump his price up
Title: Easter Eggs? Post by: Rich Pullen on Friday, August 10, 2007, 19:05:58 Quote from: "Kinky Tom" Perhaps his attitude was that Shitty is a crap club and he would rather die than play for them... Yep, sounds about right. Easter hasn't played above L1 - I find it incredible that such price tags have been suggested. He's not even close to the scoring exploits of Trundle - surely 3 Wales caps doesn't up his price! Title: Easter Eggs? Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Friday, August 10, 2007, 19:40:28 Very interesting. This is the most clear indication yet the a deal has finally been done with the new consortium. Maybe we will be signing players like this? This can't be us acting without them Portuguese fellers though as Wycombe would want at least 500k i would have thought.
Title: Easter Eggs? Post by: Bogus Dave on Friday, August 10, 2007, 20:28:48 hmmm i dont know. He tailed off badly in the second half of last season, and his attitude seems abit shitty. if we were gonna spend 500k plus, then i reckon there must be someone better to spend it on
Title: Easter Eggs? Post by: wheretherealredsare on Friday, August 10, 2007, 20:30:33 One word ... two syllables ... Charade!
Title: Easter Eggs? Post by: RobertT on Friday, August 10, 2007, 20:38:14 I believe it's probably bollocks but he would be a very good signing indeed. he offers the one thing nobody else does, a real threat, even when not scoring. He looked very dangerous against us.

Post by: Dazzza on Friday, August 10, 2007, 20:52:28 Few of the chit chat sites are reporting we have lodged a bid now.
Probably a case of lazy journo feeding off Sky Sports. Who was the last 500k purchase, Alexander? Title: Easter Eggs?

Post by: Tails on Friday, August 10, 2007, 20:57:55 £300,000 for Alexander.
Title: Easter Eggs? Post by: DV on Friday, August 10, 2007, 21:11:21 in that case the last half a million player we bought must have been George Ndah...
Title: Easter Eggs? Post by: STFC_Gazzza on Friday, August 10, 2007, 22:19:20 fUCKIN HELL... Good signing if it happens

He tailed off badly in the second half of last season, and his attitude seems abit shitty. if we were gonna spend 500k plus, then i reckon there must be someone better to spend it on He tailed off badly because Wycombe did to be fair. Was scoring when they were flying but if there are no chances how can you score? Title: Easter Eggs? Post by: jayohaitchenn on Monday, August 13, 2007, 09:47:03 I saw Chris Blackburn on the way home from the pub last night. As it happens he was having a piss in a flower pot on Faringdon Road outside the chinese chip shop. I said "Alright Chris!"
I was wearing my Swindon shirt and we got chatting, he asked me what i thought of the match in Northampton. I told him it was ok, but we are toothless upfront and need another striker and he told me not to worry because he thinks we are going to sign Easter. It was his own personal opinion but it shows that it isn't just lazy journalism, we are actually trying to sign him. Title: Easter Eggs?

Managed to score 20 goals last season in a god-awful side, and would probably cost a hell of a lot less than easter would. Title: Easter Eggs?

Yeah, and as a professional who isn't even first choice in his position, you'd have thought Blackburn would be concentrating on getting into the starting eleven, not going out and getting pissed. When you refer to Pook and Nicho, when did you last see them out, or heard from a reliable source that they were pissing it up? Title: Easter Eggs?
