Killie up bid for Thompson
by Alex Livie, 05 July 2008
Kilmarnock have tabled a revised offer for Northern Ireland striker Peter Thompson and manager Jim Jefferies has insisted it will be their final bid.
The 24-year-old has proved his class in front of goal for Linfield, having hit the back of the net on 44 occasions last term.
Killie failed with a bid earlier in the summer, but Jefferies feels Thompson is worth pursuing and has returned to the table with a revised bid believed to be in the region of £150,000.
"I don't think they want to do business and want much more money than we could ever afford,” Jefferies told the Daily Record.
"So we have made our final bid and we are not prepared to go any higher."
