[Beefy]

Three words for that; Bailey, Clarke, Francis.

Three big names for us not one.

Bailey is the one we'll miss. Clarke and Francis won't be hard to replace.

 

[fredheim_holm]

You wont get a better right back then Francis. He's immense at that position. Clarke isn't such bad news as we concede so many so a change may do us well.

I wonder if Mousse will be involved lots next season.

 

[Beefy]

I'd rather Francis stayed but he's neither "immense" nor irreplaceable.

Respect your opinion of course Beefy, and I understand you're viewpoint.

However, we wont sign a better right back then Francis. He's not immense, but he is for our level in my opinion.

 

[Tampa Blue]

Totally agree re Francis, if he could just concentrate for 100% of the game then he could play at a much higher standard then L1

 

[canveyshrimper]

Wouldn't be surprised, I am beginning to wonder if RM will bail out once all the permissions have been granted and he has wrinsed all the cash that he can get.

I am suspicious of his inentions.

Share offer, discount for early season ticket purchase, players up for sale, players released, permission for redevelopment of Roots Hall,

Or am I being too cynical?

Not in the slightest, you are just talking out of your derriere.

 

[Medway Blue]

All this cynicism and the conspiracy theories are mad! You should all be working in the CIA or something. There has been no evidence to suggest that we are utterly cash-strapped, or the whole stadium move is about to collapse. RM is not selling the players because we need the cash. If that was true I'd feel sure that we'd have been kept informed. He's given his reasons and I have no issue with them.

But he can't, so he doesn't. Players are at this level because they have flaws to their game- Flavs could play at a higher level if he could handle crosses, Maher could have if he had some mobility, Macca if he was a better passer etc etc.

 

[Tampa Blue]

Understand exactly what you are saying, but Francis is still young and full of potential- he already has all the physical attributes - imo he will become much better than he is now, not sure that we can say that about many of our regular 'contracted' starting XI

it may seem the road network needs to be completed before the new stadium - (us paying for)

? ? call me cynical but i think sufc need to find ££££ fast

so cynical! but even more naive.

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

They're all replaceable if they do go, it's just a case of how long it'll take us to replace them.
Bailey will be the most missed out the 3 and the hardest to replace, they are all good players but most lower league teams lose their best assets and that's why they can't develop and build a good squad if the so called big clubs are always poaching all the players.

I think that the Spanish Inquisition would be more appropriate. Their chief weapon is misinformation....misinformation and hysteria....their two weapons are misinformation and hysteria....and unjustified cynicism.....yes, their three weapons......

I wasn't expecting the Spanish Inquisition!

Neither was I.

Doesn't matter, point is it does happen at other clubs as well.
