We've made a bid, and have spoken to him today.

Crewe have after losing Maynard

Make that 2 clubs then.

 :-X

:D

I assume ours was player + cash.

Actually, what am I saying. I don't believe it!

i believe it when i see it

I know nothing about the terms of the deal, other than a bid has been made and we have spoken to him.
Were aren't the only club speaking to him though.

I think this one goes hand in hand with Roberts retiring and getting out of his contract, thus freeing up what I guess would be a fairly decent chunk of wages.

This isn't happening is it?

I very much doubt this'll happen.

To be honest I don't really believe it. I've spent much time stating that we don't need him... However, he's scoring goals and keeping fit....

Whadda tease.

2+2=5

in the Parkin case 2+2=4

Parkin hell

Erm. Why when..... we were told players have to go, we are not chasing anyone, we have gone over our budget already, would we be signing someone who would be on 5K a week? hmmm think about it? People give it up, Sam Parkin is not coming back, We don't need another striker.

Gazza alot has happened since the QPR game, regarding Parkin

Your full of shit.... as nice as this looks though....

wish people would get over SSP.

Maybe we can bring back Fjortoft as well?

Parkin has signed for Preston anyway

u still basing this on Fitton saying ages ago Parkin wont be coming back?
the person i spoke to said we have put in a bid which someone one here said to me aswell they got told the same.
But the person who told me said he expects Parkin to join the other team in question, which would be Sams decision not to come home, im still hopeful though

Wouldn't this be us signing him last season?

Pfft - 'ark at all the killjoys.... Makes the evening a little bit interesting!

To be fair, someone could snap up a bargain with the real Parkin tonight.

The bloke is class though and Im sure he would love to save Luton from relegation this season.

Come on Gaz, clue up

It was YOU who posted that Roberts may be released from his contract! That would free up wages no? Roberts must be one of the better earners, no?

To me it looks like if we get Roberts off the wage bill then we have room to bring in another player....

Yeah, Salami. We need more meat in midfield.

It's taken me two weeks to come up with that one.

We'd have to get rid of a striker. Maybe two.

In my opinion, to sign Parkin we would have to sell Billy Paynter. And that would be a bit of a risk, he looks the business this season. Otherwise the squad is starting to get out of control, very top heavy.

Im 99 per cent certain we arent signing anyone tonight, but if we do I hope its a defender.

I concur.

We're still good for the loan market after this aren't we?

Or Corr or Cox!

Think we have a group of 3 reasonable strikers now if Corr stays fit.
I agree with you and can't see how Parkin would fit in either.

Absolutely. Parkin had a good time here, I wish people would accept HE IS NOT coming back.

Parkin would be perfect, at the moment we only really have two 'proper' strikers in Cox & Paynter. Corr is always a worry due to the injuries, Peacock hasnt got what it takes to play up top anymore and has played in midfield this season. Sturrock isnt wanted, Joycey is still a baby and Jake Hyde isnt even considered for the 1st team

yes good idea so lets buy Sam Parkin when we are already over budget and pay him 5k a week to warm the bench and play 10 mins at the end of games instead of strengthening areas that need it.

You're stressing out far too much Gazzza old boy.

again Gazza are u basing the 5k on what dave byrne said?

Is Parkin actually going in this transfer window?

Ask again in 2 1/2 hours or so

If Luton want any chance of staying up I very much doubt it. If they sell Parkin they are pretty much selling their league position.

they dont have much choice if the player wants to leave though

Where has this magical 5k number come from?

Our strikers at the mo are Cox, Paynter, Corr, Peacock, Sturrock, Joyce. I'd hardly call that a top heavy squad.

When you consider Corr is always injured and Joyce is still very young that just leaves Cox, Paynter, Peacock & Sturrock. One or two of them get injured and then your short.

I'm sure if you look through the division there are plenty of teams with more strikers than we have. I think Southend have about 9 of them!

Anyway, Gaz no one is saying Parkin will come back BUT to dismiss even the possibility is wrong because this is football and if we really wanted Parkin would could get him back.

Dont care what Fitton said in an interview months ago, its Malpas' team.....

Couple of links on the Luton forums about PNE but not so much as a sniff about us.

dv is there a echo in here :)

friad gazza's right on this one boys and girls.

It's not even an option, for him or us.

Two Parkin's up front for Preston?

I doubt Luton will sell whoever wants him - not until January at least.

how is it not an option?

Parkin is a footballer, we are a football club.

No matter how unlikely its not impossible that a football club could sign a football player is it?

I think you've been interpreted like this: "WE MUST SIGN PARKIN" as opposed to what, I think, the point you're trying to make!

This is just pure bollocks. Like anyone should believe JPC Eat a Poo anyway.

Bur Sir, STFC4LIFE started it sir.

my mates best friends dog owner just told me Parkin was seen at the County Ground

Hanging around car parks with a dog lead, your friend isn't Stan Collymore is it?

That's even less reason to believe it.

dont worry batch i get blamed for everything

Bollocks!

You don't have any friends.

you killed princess Di.

yeah why not

I heard that JCP was on the grassy knowl.

fuck off I paid them £50.00 and a packet of skips to be my mate until 12:30

And you told them to stand outside in the rain to check if Sam Parkin comes back? Like it.

i killed wellard

:D

I think it was the facebook petition made him wanna come back!

Did we sign him? I missed all this, I was too busy drinking.

Yes, on a 2 year deal ;)

Did I dream this whole thread?  ???

It's not the forum's finest moment. People seem to get quite emotional about Sam.

a bit of wee came out - it was all a bit much

did you have your TENA Lady Ultra Minis on?

There is a large ultra absorbant Tena for men pad/man nappy open on the meeting table in our office - its been there for about a week now. 
We had it delivered to my boss as a joke - he opened it then threw it around the room at everyone and thats where its been ever since

Im too scared to touch it too be honest.

If we did sign SSP I think I may have had to use it!
