Kensdale update

[Holy Joe]

He's the transfer leak lol

He's LondonShrimper??

 

[Blues4LifeDan]

In a week where the talk has been about needing extra players through the door, this is another negative the club didn't need. You have to feel for Maher. He's had to put Crowther in who wasn't match fit and deal with the atmosphere of the dressing room regarding this incident. All while having injuries and not enough players, and some fans still moan.

Only we could get mugged in such a way where one of our best assets leaves for peanuts.

 

[SUFCGoals]

Would prefer that we're selling him to a League One club and getting £150-200k for him. Slim chance

So the illness was a lie?

They pushed the illness thing to everyone, even those close to the manager and squad. I hope if this happens in the future, they don't make up lies, and straight away say there is a disciplinary issue with a player. After all, it has to come out within a couple of weeks anyway.

 

[Tampa Blue]

£50k would be a fair price imho

 

[Leeboy]

oh joy

Nile Ranger V2.0?

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

So the illness was a load of gubbins.

Agree, no matter how you look at it it is a lie.

leave Joe out of this

I noticed Cardwell had a black eye in his interview the other day. Hope it's not a ruck at training.

How anyone can knock Maher is beyond me. Had to whack Crowther in when unfit because of this, stabilise the dressing room and deal with all those injuries with a limited squad. Add to that, Kensdale is one of our biggest assets and is going to go for peanuts, if anything apparently. One day, he'll get to manage in normal circumstances.

Didn’t Cardwell go down with a head injury recently? Think it might have been Hartlepool away. Hopefully it’s just from that.

Maybe the club needed a cover story whilst they investigated the facts?

I guess it maybe a cover whilst some investigation takes place - what if he's innocent - then his name has been unnecessarily slurred if you say he's been suspended. If the club knew CP was about to break a story then an official statement would be in order

This is a real tragedy by the sounds of it for all of us. Kensdale included

I saw him as our current best higher fee sell on. To possibly have that destroyed is yet another terrible blow
I would have hoped for a decent 3 figure sale with good add ons. I also hope thats not completely damaged the beneficial aspects for all parties, transfer wise but it doesnt sound good , especially if it is a damaged good scenario .Please let some good come out from whatever has happened
Jeez do we need a bit more good fortune!

knock Maher, whack Crowther

Sounds like a rough session!

This sort of thing seems to only happen with promising young players we have a hope of selling on. Like Lopata.

Joke.

£50k would be a fair price imho

He's gone from being let go at Colchester, to almost giving up on professional football. He greatly impressed at Concord, and became Kev Maher's first permanent signing. He just got better and better, and was picked for England C last season. He's one of the main reasons we had the best defence in the league last season, letting in only 45 goals. I would say he's worth 80k, as he's still improving, with less mistakes.
But depending on what he's done, a fee might me difficult now.

I don’t rate him as highly as other fans anyway. If he has done something serious then good riddance and we don’t need that around the squad
