Pete Stays!

Thompo scores again

So despite last-minute speculation that an improved bid from QPR was in the offing (the original bid of 50k now, 50k at the end of the season plus another 100k in the unlikely event of QPR going up having been turned down) or even a bid from Luton, nothing happened and Pistol Pete is staying. Good. he scored our winner on Saturday vs. Cliftonville (or Cornerbhoys FC, as they're affectionately known on ILF by some Bluemen) has scored 33 times this season, and he really does have a chance of winning everything.

He still would like a crack at the big time:

Thompson still hopes for transfer

But not yet. Plus the non-move is right for Linfield, 100k for an international striker who's only 21 and is banging in the goals is nowhere near enough.


Elsewhere, TeBe still haven't played in over a month and a half now due to a combination of a Winter Break and the adverse freezing weather conditions in Berlin. Check out Doughnut Boy's fine TeBe blog for an update on the friendlies (played on astroturf!).
