A Luton birdie tells me £85k plus a 20% sell on.
Luton paid Boro' £80k plus a 25% sell on.
Poor buggers didn't make much on him
By the way, do not take a look at the Luton Outlaws forum. the poor lambs are imploding at talking about giving up supporting football because of his exit. Poor poor things.

So does this mean we're going to have a "new" system to fit both Craddock and Constable in the team together?"Yankee Clipper" wrote:Delighted about this. Great signing. Craddock and Constable should work brilliantly together with maybe Midson playing just behind. Outstanding. So happy but gutted that I'm gonna miss the next two weekends.

I certainly hope so. I think it is essential for them to spearhead the attack together."Hog" wrote:So does this mean we're going to have a "new" system to fit both Craddock and Constable in the team together?"Yankee Clipper" wrote:Delighted about this.

Absolutely. I'll be a little disappointed if he is just fitted in in a front 3 in place of Green (or Midson)."Yankee Clipper" wrote:I certainly hope so.

Re:
Me too, it would be a waste of both of them. I'm open to them either being the front two in a 4-4-2 or with someone playing just behind them although the danger in that is they get dragged into a front three."Kernow Yellow" wrote:Absolutely.

Re:
Based on the principal of having two players for each position there is no need to change the system. One problem we've had (and have) is that when Beano has a dip in form, injury, suspension there's no like for like replacement. It's also about keeping the first choice striker on his proverbial and actual toes."Hog" wrote:So does this mean we're going to have a "new" system to fit both Craddock and Constable in the team together?"Yankee Clipper" wrote:Delighted about this.

Theoretically Craddock could result in us scoring loads of goals but never actually get on the pitch. I don't think that will happen but I don't expect him and Beano to play together very often either.

Personally I think that would be a shame as I think the two of them could be exceptional together."Mally" wrote:Based on the principal of having two players for each position there is no need to change the system.
