What, so we are going to benefit to the tune of £15m in 2 years? Is he getting us automatic qualification to the Champions League or summit?

Not according to this baby....http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/c...%20-price.html

Yes, but the OP is (I think) saying that Stokes was a bargain, so the expression he wants is indeed 'cheap at twice the price'.

M'lud, I direct you to exhibit two...

2. It was never intended to be taken seriously and is a pun on the meaningful phrase 'cheap at twice the price', intended either humorously or in order to deceive.

Irony, albeit unintentional, I would submit.

If Hibs paid over a million for Stokes, I'll eat a tramp's pants for charity. That's how confident I am that they didn't.

Note: nothing in this post is binding - if necessary, I may just pretend a bad man logged onto my account and posted it.

Mmmm! Lightly grilled and with a squeeze of lemon juice, perhaps?

[Brando7]

i think they have got him cheap but sunderland might agreed to this with a sell on clause written in

[HibsMax]

you do realise that at half the price it would be a snip? Perhaps you meant it would be a snip even at twice the price? :)

I can just imagine the Tache's face writing a cheque for a million then Stokesey banging in a few goals then getting asked for another half million

Lives in the Isle of man yet close ties with a Sunderland accountant?

Or is Manx a funny for "Manks" aka Hobo, Junkie, Peg-Seller?

There have been no reports of Rod being rushed to the Royal with a coronary or suddenly having been admitted to one of our esteemed psychiatric establishments. I'm afraid therefore talk of us having forked out a million for Stokesy is up there with Reyes on loan & Jordi on the 26 bus, my personal 2 favs!
Mind you the guy on Celtc forum the other day who said he was in the club shop & they were ironing Nish ( the name that is ) on to the back of a hooped top was a classic! Why do people make this !!!! up?

[CRAZYHIBBY]

according to my aunties escaped budgie who flys around the stadium of light , we signed him on friday and he cost us money

[Gingertosser]

According to the local rag in Sunderland, we paid LESS THAN 10% of the £2m Sunderland paid for him.
Steve 'Baw Heid' Bruce just wanted him off the wage bill.
Add a nice signing on fee from Hibs (to offset drastically reduced wages), and it will probably be in the region of £400k.

Link to rag is somewhere on the Bounce if anyone is interested.

Ok firstly, that is pure nade.
Secondly, what price did you think we paid considering that you think that 1-1.5m is cheap?
Thirdly, if you think we'll sell him for 10-15m you are so wired to the moon you could bottle your nade and sell it to ravers.

As a Bouncer and Netter I have seen that post, although couldn't remember where, which mentions that article, although I couldn't remember there being a link. However I couldn't find it again and a Goggle search didn't bring up the article when I wanted to post on this thread earlier.

I’m more inclined to believe ‘we paid less than 10% of the £2m’ with all the extra add ons than I am to believe we spent more than a million, in fact anywhere near a million, on one single player, particularly in today's transfer market.




Anyone else think I’m using too many commas instead of .’s. I think, although I could be wrong, it’s a bad habit I’m getting in to, maybe not.
