charlies dad 0 Posted June 28, 2005 Just one of them mind, has stated, ''Damien is cool, strong and delivers goals and in a struggling side, so id like to see him in a better side''.... #&87**"4% Better side?.. hes talking about portsmouth. Its time to kick francis and his crappy agent out of Norwich for good. And you can stick linvoy primus too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kennyfoggo 0 Posted June 28, 2005 while I would like to Francis stay... I fear his committment would be in question by many fans.. I think it is of worthwhile note that Francis hasn''t said a word himself..well that I have read.. all agents speak unfortunately..we had this with Hucks... I say now get it over with soon so we can have the money to spend before the window slams shut and while there may be some decent players not snapped up...

What does he think of this cool, calm, deliverer of goals? Sometimes, I find it hard to figure out how Fracis can stand up. That big head of his must weigh a fair bit.

Maverick 0 Posted June 28, 2005 I think perhaps the Agent in question didn''t see many of Francis''s performances post-February.Perhaps someone can send him a tape of the Fulham game to admire Damo''s ''tracking back'' skills for their 1st goal and his total lack of commitment for the next 80 minutes ? Never mess with Maverick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sheded 0 Posted June 29, 2005 Agents are arseholes , that we all know !  in it for the money , most of them wouldn`t know a football from frisbee ! as for Francis`s agent ... a white stick job there , definately  maybe Francis hasn`t opened his gob yet because he`ll put his foot in it !     agents lie through their teeth , but footballers have nowhere to hide , if they don`t perform , there`s millions of fans out there that will speak the truth .. Francis is now unsaleable , that IS a fact !  what club , having watched the Fulham match , would be stupid enough to even consider buying him ? certainly NOT fulham !! Hucks agent DID come it with the mouth , but Hucks had the gumption to overide his agents claptrap and state his case , AND his COMMITTMENT is 100%  ...... Francis`s committment ????   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He needs to go sooner rather than later Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charlies dad 0 Posted June 29, 2005 Good to see Doncaster and Nigel having a bite back at portsmouth.. dreadful way to run a business. Francis is saleable, portsmouth will probably remember his goal against them, at the tip they call a stadium. Its just a question of ripping as much money out of their sweaty hands and buying a good centre half, i. e. Sodje who looks a good prospect. Dont want primus, he doesnt look all that.

Putney Canary 0 Posted June 29, 2005 Sodje is being linked with 3 Premiership clubs so is very doubtful to come to us. Primus is proven at Premiership level, and is better than what we have, I would be pleased to see him here. As for Francis, I am coming back round to saying get rid of him asap. If his agent is talking out of turn, he should publicly refute it (as Hucks did) or go. I am rapidly losing patience with him again!Primus + £1m cash for Francis would be good business for us.

The simple reason being that we could guarantee him first team football, whereas it would be doubtful whether teams like West Ham or Sunderland could. I would have thought he''d rather play regularly for a top first div side than be in the reserves of a Prem side Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charlies dad 0 Posted June 30, 2005 I have to disagree that primus is proven at premiership level. I watched him out of interest last season, because hed been linked with us, and i thought the guy was as shaky as anyone in our back four. Sodje would have a better chance of first team football here, and we all know that colney often is our trump cards. As regards to portsmouth buying all our players, theres no-one left for leeds to sell, and if they want Francis, they can have him if they want. No-ones having our best players.... only the cast offs. If leeds had done a whip round, they could have had stuart or holt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
