Double Standards

So it is ok for SAF to talk about buying players under contract with other clubs but when the boot it on the other foot it is not right.

[Teflon]

Yeah whining kent same with that kent at Villa too complaining over Liverpools approach for Barrie and what happening with Friedel !!! any difference ????

[Barney Rubble]

I think you'll find United have made an offer for a player, and Ferguson would not name who the player was, even though he was prevoked. It's Berbatov's agent, who has said that it relates to him.

 

Look at the interviews, not just reading one story.

 

Get your facts straight!!!

[Krooner]

Hey Barney. Shut up.

 

He has made an offer and is now talking about how he feels a deal will be done. Spurs have refused their offer so all SAF is doing is stirring it in the same way Real Madrid do. All clubs do it I just find it rich when they moan about it one day and then do it the next.

[Barney Rubble]

Krooner grow up. This is nothing like the Madrid - Ronaldo situation.

 

If you saw the interview he said he has made an offer on one player he feels would improve the squad. That was all he said.

 

United have made official contact and made an offer yet he is not saying who it is.

 

What is your source telling you the offer has been declined?

[Teflon]

fight, fight, fight,

Fair point on the refusal. Man U have put a bid in and should wait to hear the answer before talking to the press. If questions are put to then they should decline to comment. As I stated above they all do it. It annoys me when any of them do it.

bite, bite, bite

of course it happens, the nonsense part is the way MU complain about madrid and the way slavery is being compared.

 

Roy Keane is as ever the most honest about it.

 

Players get transferred when they are under contract.

 

Clubs move players on they dont want, players engineer moves when their club still want them.

 

No loyalty, its each man and club for themselves.

 

 

 

[Krooner]

Which one TC ?

[Barney Rubble]

Quoting Roy Keane from 17/07/08

 

"I think it's always been the case if players fancy leaving and make it hard for a manager and their attitude isn't up to scratch, then you sell them,"

 

"Having said that, in defence of players, when a club is finished with you, they get rid.

 

"My advice is look after yourself. If you get a chance for bigger and better things, then go for it.

 

"I've experienced that myself.

 

"People question players' loyalty. I question clubs' loyalty.

 

"It's a business to them. If you're not needed then you can be out of the door in 10 minutes, and I'm speaking from experience.

 

"It works both ways."

 

 

[Krooner]

Very true.

[johncrow]

I hear that the new Guildford manager has unsettled a few Dorking Wanderers players and tried with some Bookham players.

Any truth in that Rusty.

[Jeff Hamnett TSF]

Its the managers job to get the best players he can to his club, isnt it?

Its up to players to get to the clubs that suit them best.

 

world class or pub league.

 

 

Its only fans that are "stuck" with the club they follow, be it your hometown club or your "big"club.

 

Think thats the conclusion from the posts here.

Football is a very fickle sport.

[Rattled07]

Are Bookham handing out contracts then Crowie? Don't let the Queen know, he'll be more rattled than me!!!

[Jeff Hamnett TSF]

Surely a preseason trip to France is worth more than any paper

(unless its got a silver line through it)

[Teflon]

No Rattled, no contracts at Bookham but once a player is register then interested clubs have to make a 7 day approach through the correct channels and not appraoch the player directly, you wouldn't know that cus no one ever been after you

[Barney Rubble]

Do Bookham have any players that a top side would want?

[Jeff Hamnett TSF]

i think so barney,some top players and guys at bookham but thats only half of it.

 

if players are happy playing at meadowbank, and in coco prem they will play in any colour shirt.

 

is that right guys?

or do some follow managers, or have opinions about how the club is run?
