Bovril 219 Posted June 24, 2007 ''he was one of a number of targets we had''... i personally think this is the more crucial linei.e theyre tryin to tie up a sharp, eastwood, marshall deal FIRST which is much better newsand yes he might be a fanatical trainer but it doesnt make him a good footballer ability wise and this is what we desperately needed, hence i wasnt too dissapointed to miss out on him and or are pg and jd by the sounds of things if he wasnt the number one priority Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlyBlyBabes 0 Posted June 25, 2007 Stange.I thought our chairperson had said that we needed to be cleverer than the rest.Much more flouting of this edict and heads will have to roll.But then it could just have been that Peter didn''t fancy Gavin as much as Jim.[^o)]OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mbncfc 1 Posted June 25, 2007 I would guess the WELSH News of the World would be singing his praises, and we were obviously interested.But there are plenty more fish in the sea.To me, the fact he has had an injury nightmare since 2005 put a big question mark over him, not matter how good he might be.

sheded 0 Posted June 25, 2007 THE ONE THING EVERYONE ON THE COACHING STAFF THERE WILL QUICKLY SEE IS THAT HE IS EPITOME OF THE MODERN FOOTBALLER -HE LIVES HIS LIFE PROPERLY HES DEDICATED AND HES A FANTACTIC TRAINER ----------------------------------------------------------------------Epitome of a modern footballer ?.......... ( goes into cynical mode ) I actually thought that the epitome of the modern footballer is to do the least amount of work ... for the most amount of cash ! that being a pro footballer meant a life of clubs and pubs , flashy cars , unlimited free time to spend on a playboy lifestyle , and toss down body wrecking cocktails and drugs ..... gee ! its a real shame that once or twice a week they have to actually RUN ! onto a field .... must be a bit of a drag that , but , never mind , you can`t be fired , you have your bleeding contract ! so you can mooch about , and go through the motions ......( snaps out of cynical mode ) you must be joking Duffy ! did you see the calibre of the modern English footballer during the world cup ? club before country mate ! and they aint so hot for their clubs ! can`t see the goal , can`t get NEAR the goal ... as for penalties ?
