Motherwell have received the balance of the transfer fee due to them from Cardiff City for defender Paul Quinn, who left the Lanarkshire club in 2009.Quote:

seems pretty clear to me, either way they don't owe the £175k stated

Definitely not a ****hole, think mediocre sums it up pretty well. There are some scabby bits of course, but some aspects of it are great (much like most other cities I suspect).
I genuinely fear that Cardiff are going to storm the league this season; if they can get just one or two of their big players playing well each match it should be enough to ensure that I dread coming into work every Monday.
Umm, selective quoting?Quote:

The Welsh club paid £100,000 to Motherwell last week as the first instalment of the £175,000 still owed.
Cardiff failed to pay agreed instalments, with £100,000 due in January and £75,000 in the summer.
Basically, Cardiff have taken an unauthorised loan at Motherwell's expense.
I think the bellamy effect will turn from good to bad before long. As soon as they lose a couple of games the fans will be on his back and he will get stroppy. Why didn't he travel to pboro last night? Playing L1 league clubs below him? Or do Man city not want him cup tied incase they want him back for the second half of the season?Quote:

Two replies before I can even finish editing my post, 100 pages is only minutes away :)Quote:

I agree; past performance tells us that having Bellamy in your team is like throwing a hand grenade into the changing room!Quote:

That seems the most likely explanation, but why would they care if he can or can't play for other potential suitors in the cup?Quote:

just the league i think
Hmm, if it is just the league, then the cup is likely to become even more dvalued, as Premiership sides use it to keep players not in their 25 fit...
players outside the 25 man squad can play in cups
Also we could still get Prat and Whit before the window closes. With them both being out of contract next year the Taffs were always going to hang on till the end of the window to try and get the best possible price and the AP are,I suspect playing a dangerous waiting game.
