Jon Parkin

[londonblue]

According to The Sun today Macclesfield are £300,000 in debt and about to go out of business because of financial irregularities surrounding their new ground. The FA have found them guilty and they now have 6 weeks to find the money.

One way would be, according to The Sun, to sell Jon Parkin, valued at £250,000.

Anyone interested?

Not at £250,000, there won't be.
I thought Parkin was excellent last year and a fairly consistent scorer. I think he has been injured much of this, so that could be against him.

If anyone bought Parkin for that kind price they've got more money than sense

He's no better than what we've got here at the moment

If we had 250k to spend i'd rather we spend it on trying to lure Grant Holt to the club

Do we have any more slightly reliable sources?

Seriously though Parkin isn't a bad player and certainly looked good against us last season, if we could get him for a cut-price fee I'd be interested but for that kind of money I reckon we would be able to attract a better player.

Plus it appears that the boy is from Barnsley so that would probably go against Tilson's local policy (although Goater is from Bermuda so you never know).

I am not even aware they are having a new ground - not seen anything in the press up here in Cheshire!

No it was about money spent (or not as the case may be) on a new stand at Moss Rose.

I bet Macclesfield still have a squad in excess of 20 players, anyone know?

Oh god know....

Complete and utter Donkey.......

I would rather stick Spinner upfront.....

 

[overseas shrimper]

250k? With the January sales around the corner? I don't think so.

Not for 250K, he's not worth that sort of money

I heard Wolves will go in for Holt if their moves for Izale McLeod and Karl Hawley fall through which it looks like they will. IMHO Holt won't be moving to League 1 anyway now, it'll be the Championship at least - I also heard Spurs and West Ham were mulling over bids but that might just be speculation particularly as the Shammers have just signed Katan. I feel £250k wouldn't be enough to tempt Rochdale anyway now.

For the record Parkin is nothing more than a PBB with a half-decent goalscoring record at the bottom level. Is he worth £250k? What do you think.....

 

[Prodigal Son]

Does anyone think we could be in for Hayter at Bournemouth?

He's scored a few and I believe they could do with the cash.

 

[SUFCFARAWAY]

I wouldn't buy Parkin for anything more than a few handfuls of chocolate money and a mince pie. Not one that I would be looking for to join us. He wouldn't add anything more to the squad.

Hayter is a good shout, and experienced at this level. He would certainly give us another option.

 

[Shrimper2thecore]

No thanks, not good enough for League 1

Interesting that, although not really West Country (Dorset) Hayter may be the striker hinted at by the Echo recently. If he is out of contract in the summer then his value is decreasing all the time.

I have also seen that Bournemouth have done a similar deal to Blues, where they have sold their ground and are leasing it back.

That was my thinking, Bournemouth is kind of West country to me and they need the cash.
