texas_oldham Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 The fee we got for Stephens was ridiculous. Leading goalscorer and one of the best players in the league. Annoying how clubs are well aware of our money problems Scored two today and from the sounds of it had a blinder http://forum.charltonlife.com/discussion/42554/dale-stephens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texas_oldham Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 and??? It's called a topic starter. Mentioning how one of our former players has started. How he is worth more than we received for him. Next time should I start a topic about Scholes not playing for us? or his thoughts on the coming season? or one about John Eyre? or where Roger Palmer is? I believe my first post is a lot more relevant to Oldham here and now than a lot of the threads on here yet youve chose to reply negatively to mine.

JoeP Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Seem to remember Stephens scored twice this time last year too.....and was then pretty ordinary for the rest of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldhamandy1 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 So everytime he has a good game we are going to have this discussion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macca Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Seem to remember Stephens scored twice this time last year too.....and was then pretty ordinary for the rest of the season. Ordinary? You sure? Was our best player, made things happen. Not much happened today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie_J Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Stephens is seriously talented as far as I'm concerned. I've said it before but I think he sold himself short by staying in this division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazlatic Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Stephens is seriously talented as far as I'm concerned. I've said it before but I think he sold himself short by staying in this division. Dale was a decent player for us, but I didn't see any Championship clubs lined up on Sheepfoot Lane with a cheque to be fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeP Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Ordinary? You sure? Was our best player, made things happen. Not much happened today. Yes. He took penalties which boosted his scoring recored and didn't really seem to "make things happen" went we didn't score a goal for untold hours.

texas_oldham Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 what was the fee? Him and Green went for 750k and it was widely reported that Green went for 400k so 350k So everytime he has a good game we are going to have this discussion? No, but as it was his debut and it appears he ran the game for them, I thought it was worthy of mentioning it Ordinary? You sure? Was our best player, made things happen. Not much happened today. Agreed. He was our top scorer, created lots and im sure he had a few assists. Even if he was having a bad game he had the ability to create something from nothing, which we can not say about most of our players.

thelaticsfan Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Im sure we have the add ons such as sell on fee's etc so I expect us to make a bit of money if/when he goes to a prem club later in life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macca Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Yes. He took penalties which boosted his scoring recored and didn't really seem to "make things happen" went we didn't score a goal for untold hours. That's your opinion. Charlton Athletic and myself disagree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc-latics Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Dale was a decent player for us, but I didn't see any Championship clubs lined up on Sheepfoot Lane with a cheque to be fair. a good season in L1 for him (providing charlton are promoted which their money says is the aim) and he'll be a better player i reckon. he's good enough for a championship side, but he's better off becoming more consistent in league one before jumping up and sitting on a bench Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laticsmad Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Agree 100% He wasn't a Championship player when we sold him, for sure. If Craig Davies is a championship player then Stephens certainly is ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Our top scorer when he left the club" pretty hard to score goals for us when he's not here "he isnt championship class yet....but in another couple of seasons he might be" exactly. you pay for potential. he's a very good player now and he's only going to get better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slystallone Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I was quite surprised that no Championship clubs came in for him; as he does have all the attributes to make a very good career from the game. It's no real surprise that the Charlton fans are raving about him; he's an eye-catching player who on his day looks a class apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be a championship player within 3 years has the all round game to do it can shoot, pass, tackle, and score, I bet his set pieces would look better if he had had Diamond and Smith aswell as mvoto to aim at aswell was crying out for him yesterday.
