BLUMAX Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Roger palmer!!!!!!!????? Joking apart,we would never get a FOOTBALLER of his quality for anything like that sort of money. I stressed FOOTBALLER as there is a lot more too his game tahn being just a striker, I hold him in the same esteem as Ritchie,Eyres and Sheridan. The one thing that could and probably will see him go is this could be his last chance of a big Earner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scapegoat Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 IMO he owes us to stay until the end of the season, he's seen out his contract then and is free to do what he wants. Yes we'll have a better chance of promotion with him in the team but without him we we'll be far from dead and buried. TTA and many on here though would take £400k now rather than nowt in the Summer. Unless he is willing to sign a contract, I say we try and get cash in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny punkster Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 at the end of the day,TTA have been in this situation before.they don't want to lose out on a pay out-only natural isn't it? the mix up between keeping him on and selling him when we can demand a fee is something they have to juggle. times are getting harder than before,every club will be tightening their belts on the next notch,its gonna be a rough ride ahead if no ones careful.

edhunteruk Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Its useless having corners if we dont use them though... that is true...but it doesnt alter the fact there is a link there does it... that game against carlisle was scandalous,if it was a boxing match the ref would have stopped it at arf time....i told my lad,if we had played until 9pm with 5 strikers we still wouldnt of scored that day......sometimes it just aint meant to happen...but the approach play was very good that day... who knows today could be settled by a screamer or a scruffy in off ya backside type of goal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opinions4u Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 (edited) great point made before .. we gave this lad a chance and what he given us back?? Lots of goals and entertainment. 3 months of fitness last year with not an increadible amount of goals More than a goal every three starts, which is about "average" for your typical striker. We took a risk on his fitness, given that he hadn't trained for 3 years upto now half a season this year witha couple of small injuries and SOME goals..we are talking about him as a top class goalscorer...incomparison to who? 5th top scorer in the division. Assuming there are 48 strikers there that's not bad. I think he's missed two games through injury. He's scoring a goal every other game and looks to create for other players too. Strikers like that are gold dust. players in our league who have bagged more this year --> fryatt beckford lambert hooper mackail-smith cox and porter He's outscore Beckforf and Hooper and matched Cox in League One. Porter plays in some foreign land. and IF he does sign .. i bet he will be earning more than the lot of em ?? I wouldn't count on it. But he will be on better money than he's on now. i just cant see why every1 is so concerned .. £400k .. we cud bring some1 better in for that money Oh no we couldn't. Liam Dickinson as a top League 2 striker cost Derby £1m. So £400k would get us a non-league striker. There was a time a few years back when Hughes was leading scorer in the country. Get real. Hughes is as good as it gets at this level. If he goes he'll be missed. But Boundary Park won't dissolve in to dust without him either.

CP_OAFC Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 today proved a point.. he is not all he is cracked up to be. 0 CREATIVE movement .. 2 massive chances 20 yards wide .. never created anything .. didnt hold the ball up byfield and davies were miles better instead of giving him loads of money .. we should increase Hazell Gregan and Allots wages and i meant Joel porter and he has got less than beckford and hooper also non league strikers? mackail smith and mclean?? Dj campbell?? stuart fleetwood?? ian wright?? how much did lambert cost rovers and mackail smith posh??? Get Real??? OK then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scapegoat Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Wonder what people will think of Lee if nobody comes in for him because the £400k asking price is too high, but they offer he a great deal to sign in the summer (as he is free to negotiate now - correct?). So he doesn't move on, but doesn't sign the deal therefore not giving Latics any cash. Will he be the saviour then or a Judas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he doesn't move on, but doesn't sign the deal therefore not giving Latics any cash. Will he be the saviour then or a Judas? I was thinking the same, worst case scenario is he stays after January and then sods off for nowt at the end of the season. There has to be a deadline for him to sign this contract that is on the table or else we could end up being desperate to sell him on the cheap just to regain some cash come the end of January because of the fear of being :censored: on again. (Porter and agent). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Will he be the saviour then or a Judas? He'll be a footballer adhering to the terms of "loyalty" written in to his contract. Nothing more. Nothing less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dj campbell?? stuart fleetwood?? ian wright?? how much did lambert cost rovers and mackail smith posh??? Get Real??? OK then Fantastic stuff! I walked out of that game yesterday thinking why the ing hell would Lee Hughes ever want to play for this club with the bilge that our midfield served up for him today... if you count a 25 yard shot, and a snap half volley from a ball that was behind him (however, he did spank in a harder one at Millwall) as 'massive chances' ... well, bloody hell, we actually create 20 or so masive chances a game... frig me, a corner must me a sitter.. The point is, if I was Byfield, Davies or Hughesy, I'm be looking for the escape route sharpish. The football we have been playing recently has been pitiful, and the only reason we have even won in the last 5 was byfield and hughesy creating things out of nowt at Crewe. Yet again our midfield was right royally crapped on froma great height by yet another very average league 1 midfield. The reason ic ouldnt give a toss if hughes leaves is that it is utterly irrelevant... we might as well play wolfy, no sodding striker can score if they have no sodding service, our midfield (except Allott whom i thought was fantastic yesterday) needs seriously sorting out... awaful, truly awful...
