I think that's all of our players been linked with someone now then. Only Meyler , that no sod wants!
Ironic, then, that Meyler (the one that no-one else wants) is the one being offered the new contract. Not saying he shouldn't, but I would have thought getting Davies, Elmo, Aluko, and even Robertson tied up longer term would take precedence, even if it just meant we got a fee when we got rid. By Jan, 3 of those could fix themselves up elsewhere.

Robertsons got 3 years left, if he was to go we'd get a very good fee
 
Can't read that link for some reason Peter.
I remember Mablethorpe. Just north of Skegness. Worked there at Butlins just before I sloped off to Leeds in the early 60's. Suspect housing there is in the doldrums also.
Where's Mapleton ? I was born in Hornsea...which suffered bad coastal erosion when I was a kid.
Mapleton is near Hornsea. The coastal erosion is getting worse.
I think house prices go up over a long period of time but footballers contracts are relatively short so we should look at house prices over a shorter term too.
I think the other point is that, except for goalkeepers, you are not limited to one player at a time - you still need a sub though - so it is more reasonable to have many more than one in your possession - unlike houses.
 
Finally got to the link & the pics. Spent a lot of time at Spurn Point....in fact was last there about 5 years ago. Many happy childhood memories recalled.
Mablethorpe was also a rather strange, quite famous artist in the states - a close friend of Patty Smith, the singer & poet/author. Hung around with Warhol & his cronies in New York. Smith wrote an interesting book about their relationship.
Weird it was.
