I went to University with the lad doing the "rejecting". He is Sunderlands CEO, Peter Walker. He's an accountant, so tight he only breathes in.
He tells me nowt, Ive given up asking.

Didn't we squeeze an extra £500k out of Sunderland for Higgy? You'd expect them to return the "favour"  |

Im pretty sure they'll increase the offer enough, personal terms wont b e an issue so its just a matter of haggling, i'll guess at 1.85million

Perhaps the mooted Higgy return is going to be part of the same deal.

news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/stoke_city/7481146.stmPotters have Fulop bid rejected Sunderland have rejected a bid of £1.7m from Stoke City for Marton Fulop, BBC Radio Stoke has learnt.
The Potters are now expected to make an improved bid, probably around the £2m mark for the Hungarian goalkeeper.
Fulop spent less than a week on loan with Potters in February, his spell at the Britannia Stadium being cut short when he was recalled by Roy Keane.
The 25-year-old former Spurs keeper has seen his chances with the Black Cats limited by the arrival of Craig Gordon.

How much did Sunderland pay for him originally?

Post by bayernoatcake on Jun 30, 2008 12:27:48 GMT
500k but Keane rates him highly.

Post by Dave the Rave on Jun 30, 2008 12:30:27 GMT
So they want £2m plus for a player who played 1 game last year and cost them £500k?!
Suppose Keane wants a decent back up though.

Post by northstokie on Jun 30, 2008 12:32:08 GMT
He might rate him highly but the fact remains that he has done sweet FA for them so how has his worth been increased 4 fold?

he's under contract.
if we want him we have to pay for him
thats how it works

He's in the Premiership, an international, he's performed excellently in the Championship and would be their no 2 this season. All adds up to an inflated price.

Probably the same reason we didn't let Foster go for 20k and he was 3rd choice.

I don't think Higgy will be given the opportunity to come back even if he wanted to ,which he probably doesn't.Has this rumour got any foundation at all?
