alera said:Personally I see a pattern emerging....
Richards has brilliant season. Gets new 5 year deal, £50K a week form and performances go down the toliet.
Ireland has brilliant season. Gets new 5 year deal, £50K a week, form and performances go down the toliet.
Then the same sort of thing happens with Nedum (ok hes injured all the time).
Is it the clubs fault ? We bring through these brilliant home grown players then cant push them on to be world beaters and first team regulars like they do at Arsenal and it pains me to say it the rags.
Talk of Selling Nedum for £3 million is complete and utter fucking madness. What can you get for £3 million these days ? Fuck all.
£10 million for Ireland and similar for richards. Its like a bad dream a season or so ago these players were some of the most highly rate young up and commers in the league with £20 million plus valuations.
Personally I am in head in sand mode pretending its all rumours and we wont give they promising young players away for pennies to our main rivals in the league.
I fear the worst though based on what happened with Dunne last season.
We all know the script we sell these players for nothing they go on to be world beaters and their replacements end up being not as good....
And our replacement is replaced by someone better, e.g. Vermarlen replaces Toure, innit?
