Yes, that's the point. He's worth more to Barrow than anyone else would surely pay for him. As for the £25k, I don't know how they could even think that would be accepted.
Absolutely, this was the quote. Evatt’s words on it from the NWE Mail:
“I don’t how much I should be saying here, but we had a ridiculous, ludicrous, in fact embarrassing, bid for one of our players last week from a club close by that was insulting.
“I’m not going to name names about who it was for and who it was from, but we aren’t giving players away, we aren’t tin pot, we are a proper football team, a proper football club, with magnificent supporters, that are going places.
“It you want to come and take our players, good luck, I hope you’ve got a few million in the bank.”

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

I don’t believe a thing Wellens says in all honesty.
I think he plays the game well.
Well, it does fuck all for my blood pressure. |

I think Wellens always tells the truth, but, he never ever tells the whole truth and often its just a tiny bit of the truth. He knows how to play the press. |

And a lot of our fan base. It’s like a mantra. Keep saying the same things often enough and they become accepted. He’s telling other clubs we have no money but want your best players here at Swindon 🤣 Please. |

Really concerned with the fact we are unable to sign players, apparently. Perhaps it's foolish to take Wellens at his word - but that doesn't sound promising.
Seems like the Yates loan will be revisited next week which might be good news.... But this is not a good day for us.
Sport on. Half of me thinks in Wellens we trust, he's smokescreening. And the other thinks, bugger, this sounds like most other January window. My heart says they'll both be back, My head says we have to replace the Parkin and Mooney (or Austin/on form Paynter) type partnership.0 In 9 days. In January. Bugger, |

Wellens on Grigg - He is a player in one of two categories, 1) we cant afford him or 2) he wants to come but wants a week to think about it
Will see what happens next week

“We're looking for strikers but at the moment we don't have the money to sign the right players”
A hint to Power? A hint we may need to sacrifice someone? |
