I cant believe Bell has been sold already![/quote]There''s actually no inconsistencies in this...Gunn advised that he didn''t need to sell, and that he''d had some conversations with other clubs, which he didn''t feel were worthwhile regarding transfers.However it would appear that Bell wanted to go, and that Coventry made an offer that Gunn/the board thought was reasonable and the club accepted this.He may not be looking to sell but if someone makes a good offer for a player who''s usually sat on our bench, then there''s a good reason to make the sale.

newyorkcanary 14 Posted January 30, 2009 You can''t keep someone here against their will. Few Championship clubs are in a financial position to do so. I take Gunny''s comments at face value and accept them that Bell asked to leave, and we got a good enough offer for us to sell. I would be surprised if we did not make a acquisition before the window closed... and a permanent one no less. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Irish canary 0 Posted January 30, 2009 I do believe Bell prob asked to go, but is it not the job, to try get the lads to fit in, obviously Roeder was never going to do that, but give a player some incentive to stay and show you want him to stay, or do you believe if Crofty wants to go too we should just say here is the door, lets cash in and use the money to do up the cafeteria??!!!

colneycanary 0 Posted January 30, 2009 Bell would of been quite happy to stay, if he was playing. He never ONCE got the opportunity to play on the right wing! In my eyes he was far far better than Pattison or Croft. Croft will be gone come the end of the season and were will this leave us?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote] I agree with u colney, he is great in this position, I couldnt really say he is better than Croft, but certainly the potential to be is there! As for pattison, id take bell any day Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
