OK. Keep a player that doesn’t want to stay. See how far that goes. Disruptive and a waste of money. Put him the reserves and fine him? Yeah, ok. Waste of time and money and becomes a bad apple……
So there was no other transfer news then? And nothing else relevant about the team news for Saturday?
Completely agree that we shouldn't keep someone who wants to leave. Let's hope we get to know the reasons for the move.
I agree that this is most strange, as there is no doubt that James had a lot to teach the younger ones and was also an experienced hand in know-how when it comes to getting and making goals. Big miss. I note that Collins likes to play with a big target man who links up play with the midfield and wing backs and scores a fair share of goals. While I would have thought that this was a pretty good description of James, there may be others who are available and I don't think that any of our current strikers fit the mould. A player who is still available as far as I know and who might fit the bill and is the right age, would be Arran Pressley at Brentford. The club have said that he is available and would probably cost around £300k, but he could do the job. Surely we have been canny enough though to line up a replacement already. Haven't we???
Well said, Oldham, and Unsworth, he made a good choice obviously looking for more game time an not guarenteed at Barnsley. Good luck Mr Norwood an all the best.
Come on.. we're not going to sign anyone. We have Cole 28 Watters 24 Shaw 25 Dallas24, there's your experience. And if one of them gets twenty goals dont get too attached cos they'll be gone next summer, as sure as night follows day. They'll all get minutes until Collins finds two that click.. plus Marshy Jalo and Dyer...
Cheers James & good luck. Enjoy the rest of your pro football. Clearly the player’s decision. I wonder who’s coming in? My money is on Cal Jennings. Not til January though..
From the text you posted it says “too far away” from the squad. Losing 1 probably accounts for “too far”. He’s also not likely to talk about transfers before they’ve gone through as any snags could be hit to make him look foolish. Best not to comment I’d say.
What’s everybody having a fanny about? Usual off the blocks panic. James probably wants guaranteed first team football. We have new strikers to blood & who knows who else is coming in.?
Because he had his pelvis turned around, he had an hip swich. Al get mi coit me keks, mi shirt, mi hat & mi booits. Ta ra.
32yo, not exactly prolific, in the last year of his contract and we got a fee for him, good business imo
