Kongolo can play: If he can get back to his loan form then he could potentially help Fulham stay up. He was worth the sort of money we paid at the time.
Prichard is a different player on the front foot, with pace options running off him.

And I used to think Terry Austin was expensive. Had to google him. Actually signed the season my dad started taking me to games, I was only 4 at the time though. How much did he cost ? He was Town’s record signing, £120,000 from Mansfield, he joined the season after we won the Division 4 title, scoring 101 league goals in 46 games in the process mainly through Kindon, Robins and Fletcher, 3 popular players with the fans. I’ve posted on here in the past that Tracy ( his cruel nickname after the women’s tennis player at the time ) although labelled a massive flop actually made a dream start, any forward would have taken his first 6 games, 6 goals, 4 wins, 2 draws. However he then managed only 2 more v Pompey away in the last 15 and we just missed out on successive promotions, the next season was poor for Town and worse for Austin, 2 in 28 league games and he was swapped for a winger Darryl Pugh from Donny. |

We have a very mixed record with Terry's over the years. Terry Gray was a hero in a dreadful team whereas Terry Eccles was simply a bag of shite. Terry Curran promised a lot but never really delivered and as for Terry the Terrier...

Not forgetting Terry Poole, one of the best goalkeepers that I've ever seen at Town (and far better than Lössl...  ) |

That was quite a halcyon era for Town keepers with David Lawson and slightly later Richard Taylor. |

Terry Curran promised a lot but never really delivered and as for Terry the Terrier... I’d argue the toss with you over Curran. As for Eccles, believe it or not in the book “Journey to Wembley” the story of the 1976/77 by Brian James ( highly recommend if like me you can remember when the 1st round of the Cup was one of the season’s most anticipated games.) it started with Tividale in the qualifying rounds and stayed with them or the team that beat them through to the Man U v Liverpool final - had we not lost to Mansfield we would have featured as Matlock drew them in the 2nd round and the author describing Field Mill on the day of the match mentions graffiti, in 6 foot tall white gloss paint at the back of their home end, a plea to the board “DON’T SELL TERRY ECCLES” Had to imagine any of today’s Cowshed Loyal doing similar for Karlan Grant. The board at Mansfield didn’t listen though because not long after and possibly because they lost 5-2 that day they of course did sell him along with team mate Jim McCaffery. PS later on Liverpool are playing Oldham, the author is sat with home fans and notes one of them full of praise for one of their players who is “a bit tasty” - non other than Ian Robbins ! |

I'm pretty sure that Eccles ran a pub on the A64 just north of York in the dim and distant past. I know that I saw his name over the door, but I can't remember which one it was. |

Not heard that one before, although of course lots of ex players did take on pubs after they finished, bizarrely I also remember Eric Bristow had one near Vale Park ( probably why he became a mentor to a young Phil Taylor ? ) and I used to deliver in Chesterfield near John Lowes pub.
25 years ago before the A1and M1 connected I sometimes called at a greasy spoon transport caff owned by Terry Curran while he was still playing and then 10 years ago when he was coaching I often saw him at Kingsley dog track which he helped his family with the day to day running off.

That same season I went with my brother to the semi final at Hillsborough, Man U beat Beeston 2-1 in front of over 50,000, he was a United fan and desperate to lure me away from shitty Town in the shitty 4th Division, I went to about 10 games with him, that semi final though was the only Town game I missed, I cheered for the reds, it was brilliant to beat Beeston of course but it didn't feel the same as being in the Cowshed with 3,500 fellow Terriers. Oh and if Leeco or his mates read this that day United had all the Leppings Lane, all the big main stand and half the Wednesday home end, the mighty whites were outnumbered about 2 to one. |

Baggies fans seem to think he's a bullshitter I wonder (if it is true) how this works in terms of sell on. Is it a percentage of the sale fee because if so then a loan for 5m which we keep with an obligation to buy for say 10m means that we owe Charlton 1.6m rather than 2.6m. Assuming the sell on is 20% of profit. Town pocket 13.4m rather than 12.4m. |

Why? Initial loan makes loads more sense. If we sell Grant outright for, say £16m, then we probably get £4m a year for 4 years. However, we would immediately have to settle what we owe Charlton (probably 1m) and also give them their sell-on profit fee (20% of 14m is 2.8m) so Charlton would probably be taking all of this year's money. Loan him for a 5m loan fee and we would have much more cash right now, which allows a bit to be reinvested and some to help keep us afloat and offset the longer period with no Matchday income. |

The financial security of this club might well depend on it (which it shouldn't if we had the parachute payments) |
