reports this morn that hudders have signed korki on a three year deal. and he will be replaced by chris feather.

There is a God.

The Express is usually reliable with info such as Faumuina etc.
However, not sure I'd be too keen on Feather coming here.

Suckers they have well and truly been done.

this would be great news if true,not only will it free up another quota spot but also some much needed revenue for other players although there is a strong possibility that we will have paid a lump sum to korki or will be contributing to part of his wages.

yorky · Post by **yorky** » 19 Sep 2008, 08:54

the problem is, he will probably play for huddersfield like korki can play!

The questionis why hasn't he played for us. he showed some glimpses of form during the last 2 games.

It will be interesting if a different coach gets something out of him

we'll never know the details if this deal does happen but I'm happy to see him go.

Not sure what tapes they have been watching...

Riggins · Post by **Riggins** » 19 Sep 2008, 09:49

He's a lazy player that doesn't like to train. That's why Matterson didn't get on with him. Feather won't be on nearly as much as Korki. Is it good business, only time will tell.

That won't be happening because Feather has signed a new deal at Bradford

Bengal · Post by **Bengal** » 19 Sep 2008, 10:18

Was told yesterday Hudders had signed Korky and that we're paying 20k of his contract.

We've definitely signed Feather and I certainly had my reservations about that, due to injury problems. We have though got him on a 1 year deal only and cheap, as Bradford are also having to pay him up.

So he won't be costing us much if he does happen to break down again. Would still be no consolation though as we'd be left with a man short in the squad.

Lets face it nobody knows if this deal is on or not untill Dettoriman comes on and gives us details of negotiations/wages/compensation/contract length or reasons behind leaving/arriving.

Oh and he knew about this ages ago 8)

That's what I heard originally from Feather himself, then on Monday he said that he had re-signed with Bradford.

i would rather keep korki for another year than pay 20000 pounds to huddersfield. keep him for another year then get shut and sign andy lynch. if any team wants him then they should take all the contract,

cvtiger · Post by **cvtiger** » 19 Sep 2008, 10:55

20k to Hudds, 68k left for us to spend on committed players and a quota spot now free.

While disappointing we have had to do this it seems a decent way of getting us in a position to improve the squad...which is what we all want to see.

Lets hope we don't have a deal like this creep up on us again.

ABTIGER! · Post by **ABTIGER!** » 19 Sep 2008, 11:30

will the Â£20k be offset against this years salary cap?

We're paying 20k to Korky not Huddersfield. As for paying all the contract. We also by the way had to pay a sum to Mason when he left us.

Wigan paid a third of Danny Sculthorpe's contract, the year he was with us. So we've benefitted from it too.

It's up to us be more careful and professional when we're signing players and have a more realistic valuation of their true worth. You cannot possibly expect another club to take a player off your hands for the same amount, just because you paid over the odds.

If someone tried to sell you a car and said, "I paid well over the odds for this but I want back what I paid for it" what are you going to say to him. Two choice words no doubt, 4 letters and 3. Why should a RL player be any different.

I also wouldn't mind betting we'll end up in the same situation again in the future.

Well he told me this on MSN yesterday, and he said what Bengal has said above, that we have had to pay Korki 20K to get rid.
