anyone else failing to see the funny side about eagle being given a new contract and not huckerby? i''m sure eagle may have something about him but giving him a deal and not hucks just defies any sort of logic or belief

well done eagle.

Eagles is young with his whole career if front of him and he will be getting paid a fraction of the wages that Hucks would have been on.  Can''t see the problem really

Interesting that Roeder has said regarding Eagle, "He''s going to sign a new one-year contract. That''s because I think he''s not a bad player"Is Huckerby bad then?

eagle is one for the future.  roedy obviously didn''t believe hucks fitted into his present plans.  i''ve finished my blubbing for dazza now - i''m waiting to see who roedy brings in, cos surely he wouldn''t let hucks go without having a ''good as'' replacement in his sights - wouldn''t he???

Talk about putting words into someones mouth!

Pretty simple - Huckerby 10k-15k a week, 32 years old, Eagle £500-1k a week, 19/20 years old. I suspect Huckerby is still just a little better though, so know where you''re coming from!

Huckerby was released because, and I quote "I''ve targetted one or two other players that are a lot younger that I think I can bring to the club to play in that position and, hopefully, give us good service." and "if I get the one that I''m particularly thinking about it will be a real pleasant surprise".

Not because Robert Eagle is staying.

You can''t compare them, give the young lad a chance. He''s not a direct replacement for Hucks for crying out loud.
