Put it this way - I saw the thread title, and my heart sank. He's probably not first-team material for a championship side yet (debatable for League 1), but he's a good little prospect - very nippy, and very hard-working. He was just starting to find the back of the net last season after a knee injury, and would probably have found that League 2 was a good place to be, as far as a learning experience goes. I'd rather we kept him - he's another player from our academy, and we usually produce high-quality stuff when they stick with us for a season or two - but if we're being offered good money and he wants a move, I can't blame him, honestly  |

Can't say I'm happy with 400k, but we're not in a position to argue right now With the help of a good shooting coach (and let's face it, we've got Mick Fucking Harford to call on once again), he's gonna be a tasty little number. Another one off the conveyor belt, to be snatched up Such is our way of life though! (Especially when we have £13m of transfer funds disappear into a black hole mysteriously shaped like a director's pocket  ) |

Sorry dude.....
EXCLUSIVE: Striker Andrew to sign for Eagles today
Thursday, 17 July 2008
By John Stanton
CRYSTAL Palace expect to sign striker Calvin Andrew from Luton this afternoon.
The Eagles had a bid for the player rejected last week by the Kenilworth Road administrators and it looked like the deal was off.
But Andrew is expected to put pen to paper today after the administrators agreed to accept Warnock’s bid, which is understood to be far smaller than the reported £400,000.
The South London Press has learned Andrew will move for a minimal fee, and Warnock is delighted to be so close to capturing his signature.
“He’s just what we’re looking for,” said Warnock. “He’s got a lot to prove but he’ll be in contention for a place. He’s keen and enthusiastic and I’m confident we’ll be able to get something out of him.
“It’s not going to stop me looking elsewhere, but we haven’t really got a young lad up front, and there isn’t someone in the reserves who I can look to, so he’s exactly the type of player I was hoping to get.”

FAR LESS THAN 400-BLOODY-K?! Thanks a fucking bunch, administrators - you have no idea how to sell a footballer at his actual value, do you?! |

For what its worth I've been told it was £70k rising to £100k after certain milestones. A fairly reliable source at Luton, but not too sure if he gets this sort of information first hand.
I feel pretty shit about it actually.

100k? What the fuck are those administrators playing at? Ah, don't worry about it. Not like you're directly involved in it, after all, and it's not unfair to say any other club would do the same if it suited them, us included. |
