Nah he's still class mate, he's only palyed 8 times this season and scored 5 so take from that what you will.
Will be gutted if he leaves

Yeah the figure £200k has been branded about, but that seems too cheap!
There's been so much talk recently on our MB's about signings, but this one made it onto Sky Sports so who knows.
I'd be happy if we got him

He's worth way more than that, thing his he is out of contract at the end of the season and can walk away for free so that will probs dictate the price more than anything.
I hate my football club right now, they've got a fucking clue

I'm pretty much fed up with Luton too. If we sell Vine we are truely FUCKED! He's the only player who knows where the net is! Then there is Leon Barnett who is being linked with WBA Add Carlos Edwards' departure to that list and......

Sounds same as us mate, were bad enough as it is at the minute without selling our best players  Beckett, Abbott, Worthington all rumoured to be leaving.
We've got a manager which is about as much good as a chocolate tea pot, and a Chairman who is (alledgedly) stealing our money to pay for the rugby team
We were favourites for promotion at the start of the season, we'll be lucky to stay up at this rate

Shame that as I really like your stadium and haven't been since they completed the 4th stand. Could do with you being in the CCC, but then we may yet see you in L1

Championship would be a realistic aim, although we'd be a poor side in there without a doubt.
Most people down at our gaff (and around the country for that matter) think were a "big club" and should be up there challenging for Promotion to the Premiership, it pains me to say it, but we are not a big club, we haven't been since the 20's, we are a northern mill town, passionate, proud, working class football fans with our club at our heart, like many others up and down the country, we have no divine right to be where some people think we should be. I mean we could only just muster 15000 home fans when we briefly flirted with the dizzy heights of Div 1 (now the chumpionship) in 1999.
With all the re-branding of Leauges these days its easy to forget that "League 1" is actually Division 3. Looking back at where we were 3/4 years ago we have come a long way, and the club have done a good job in getting us to where we are today, they just need to realsie that the current management set up is not cut out to manage at this level (as poor as it may be) and need to get shut before we end up back where we started
Kinda gone of the subject a bit there aint I  Aplogies, and if you hear anything else about Abbott, let us know

Just read Abbott is having a medical at Luton this week and then the deal will be done, with Warren Feeny moving out way as part of the deal 
Whats he like as player? Heard of him like, he any good?

Crikey!
Feeney is good but he isn't a CCC player IMO. In League 1 he was scoring goals for fun at Stockport. He gives 110% and always chases everything. He's lacking in confidence though but get that back and he will become good again!

Umm, think he was at Stockport the same time Beckett was there, maybe Jackson is trying to re-kindle that.
