Good, that saves on £20,000 a week in wages and £3.25 mill, which can go towards something else. i.e Billy Sharp or someone like him.
Ah well, they could invest it all in helping with stadium costs. Then we could become the new Notts County.
The quotes I have read said that we had agreed to pay him his £20k, but he still turned us down - which I think is really good news. The fact that he has a `reputation` at Fulham and that they are not selling H says it all. If we have to agree to his demands and then go on our knees to get him to sign - which means he will not be a motivated player (they said he was a lazy... at Fulham) also gives the wrong message to the team. Much better to get in experienced loanees (like Marlon) with an option to buy, if we like them.
As has been mentioned on here before though, if it comes to near the end of the window and no one else has come in for him, then John will only have the options of staying at Fulham where he will be frozen out, or joining us and playing. I still reckon he'd be a great signing and I'm sure Aidy could motivate him irregardless of his initial desires to come or not.
I don't blame him but i'm content with him turning us down, if a player isn't interested in playing for our club then i don't want him. He obviously isn't up for the fight so he can stay on the fulham bench.
Probably go to whoever finishes 4th bottom this season or one of the promoted side...Birmingham maybe? Sure Mr Colin W will take interest if Sheffield Uniyed stay up!
He will probably sell Webber or someone in the summer to bring in another 2. They did buy a defender though as well. From what I read on a Sheffield United site the fans really want a midfielder or 2.
