    So if we have received half a million for him that would have been bad business No fee was disclosed so how do we know? Any thing is possible. Cowling is not likely to tell in any case. Its his club, not ours.
    Crazy, the fee is often undisclosed because of all of the add ons attached to the transfer. It is impossible to say right now how much we potentially get. It is neither good or bad news regards Gilly at this stage because we have loads of time to bring in players, unless of course you (individually) saw him as a good or bad player. In Feistys case, he never rated him, so any fee is a bonus in Feistys eyes. In Crazys case, Gilly was a game saving player, so money is less important.
    Im not f-cking stupid Super. I could not care less what we got for him, in fact the less the better for Cowlings mauly fingers. I only made it a assumption that we could have got half a milion, nothing else.
    Wow. Relax a bit. I never said anything bad or even contentious!!!! Just gave my opinion on the fee like you, thats all. No problems.
    Super Waluigi's comment was totally reasonable (although I do think he posts provocatively at times) therefore your 'effing' shows poor form.

    Do you realise that when you resort to swearing, you don't help your argument with neutrals who read your points; you actually make yourself look insecure?

    A shame really, as you have great football knowledge and shouldn't have to resort to insults."

Gillespie quits Colchester

On his way - Steven Gillespie has left Colchester after four years with the club and signed for League Two new boys Fleetwood Town. On his way - Steven Gillespie has left Colchester after four years with the club and signed for League Two new boys Fleetwood Town.

Colchester United forward Steven Gillespie has signed for League Two new boys Fleetwood Town for an undisclosed fee.

The striker, who is the U's record signing after joining them from Cheltenham Town for a fee in excess of £400,000 in 2008, has ended his four-year stint at the Weston Homes Community Stadium.

Gillespie, 27, made 108 league and cup appearances for Colchester, scoring 28 goals.

His time at the U's was disrupted by injuries.

But he made 36 appearances last season for John Ward's side and scored 12 times, his highest season tally in Colchester colours.

Gillespie's departure leaves Colchester without a recognised out-and-out striker, following the departure of Kayode Odejayi to Rotherham United last month.
