Are we laking same game as Donkey Rovers but bart a agent as front man ?

It seems to me where taking a load of players no-one else wants spending time and money on them training them into better players and putting them in shop window for other clubs to buy. lets face it this Tonge kid is never going to be our player because he'll be on far too much money for us, so he's here to use us to get to a better club by getting games under his belt.

is this the only way we're ever going to get decent players now on, and only for a few months at a time ?, and are you all happy with this

 

No. Drinkwater was a potential signing, so long term. Tonge is short term

And he wouldn't have been here otherwise

 

How much can I put you down as a donation ? Cheques payable to BFC. ;-)

Look at Pompey and Coventry and possibly Leicester next season if the don't go up. Money does not always = success.

 

I know that we've always been a selling club and will probably will continue to be, but i have to admit that it does get on my tits. Whenever we have a good player that we deserve to keep cause of the development we've given them, they want to go to a 'bigger club'. I know thats how things work in football nowerdays, but christ its annoying. I wish we had just a bit of money to be able to keep hold of our good players, not spending millions on loads of players.

 

what you on about, i was asking if you where happy with the transfer tactics we are using ? and is the way its going to be from now on ?

 

Add to that Ipswich, Cardiff and Bristol City.

 

Well the thing is look at Vaz Te he only signed a 12 month contract, do you think he'll reward us and sign a 2 year deal because we where the only club willing to take a chance on him, honestly i don't think theres a cat in hells chance. he's going and that's the end of that, the club left them sens open to this when he only signed a 12 month contract, now if thats the way the club want to do things thats up to them, and i'm just happy to have had the 12 months watching him, but we will never make any money doing this and we'll always have a high turn over of players, and struggle to get a settled team

 

another thing we used to be a selling team but we're not any more, we never have players on long enough contracts to get owt for them these days, and that's the way it'll be from now on by the looks of things, don't get me wrong i'm not moaning just saying what i see

 

He could have also been absolutely rubbish for 12 months too.

 

The whole loan system is wrong

As I see it clubs like us should only use the loan system in emergencies , and should be looking to buy players we can afford so that when we've improved them we get a reward for that when we sell them on.

 

Re: The whole loan system is wrong

We're all part of a Masterplan....

 

Well said. Take for example Jim Mcnulty. He's now played more games for us this season than for other clubs in the past three seasons combined together. Keith is working well polishing up players.

 

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. We only gave him a 12 month contract 'cos we didn't know how bad/good he was going to be. In fact after the first couple of months at the club, the majority of our fans (and the manager) didn't rate him. If we had given him a 3 year contract, then he had turned out to be completely ****, there would have been hell on. You can't have it both ways

 

Maybe thats because he ruptured a kidney whilst playing for Brighton and was out for some considerable time and then suffered an ankle injury, whilst at S****horpe on loan, which required surgery. Not been very lucky Jimmy boy.
