Bircham says no bothroyd

[Funge]

Birchams twitter is saying no to bothroyd as he wants 40k a week and sign on fee and we are capped at 20k but does say DJ for 1.2mill and Bullard on loan, will copy paste in a sec when get laptop on the go

[paulmason]

DJ would be a really good signing and hopefully he would take Troy Hewitt under his wing.

I'd settle for that. One proven in the prem, one not.

Re Boothroyd's signing on fee and wages request proves what I was saying the other day - at this level there is no such thing as a "free" transfer.

Feel like a muppet now as i saw that first tweet on my ipod when i woke up and posted on here before i went straight to Bircham's actual page, if you go there he mentions he knows nowt about the takeover, but who knows he could be double bluffing? I did think when i read it that he's playing with fire anouncing our signings what with the whole Sousa debacle!

[stainrodisalegend]

Don't worry Funge, you weren't to know. Cd be he was telling the truth then suddenly regretted it! The Bothroyd bit has the ring of truth. Who knows...?

Interesting re the wage cap:

Bothroyd wouldn't get 40 grand a week at any club in the world. Birchams a plum

Erm - a plum? If you know the relationship between the two tweeters you realise it is banter and not to be taken seriously. Honestly, things read on twitter should never be seen as a reliable source because it is usually just inane drivel.

Sorry I'm not a social networking fiend!

Aye im not a big twitter fan, i have an account but rarely ever do anything on it but check out stuff thats happening though i do agree it is a pretty sad thing and gives famous people an even bigger ego trip!
