Bullard won't take at ã25k a week pay cut, he never said he would, it was just some bollocks in the Daily Star.
I think you'd be in a small minority. To be fair I reckon he's probably a top bloke but as a professional footballer the top two tiers are now beyond him I feel
Irrespective of that, ã13k/wk should get us two first teamers at this level (not star performers, but say the keeper and a centrehalf), not one player for cover so I'll be glad to see him go, although I would wish him luck at his new club.
Kilbane always did his best & was a model pro.. Brownie brought him in as an "experienced" player in the PL & then pissed me off by continuously selecting him on the LW, when he has the pace of a hedgehog with backache.. if anything his best position was CB, I saw him play there for Ireland and he wasn't half bad..
IMO, Arles-Avignon are very unlikely to bid for Ghilas since they're a small club with limited resources who will be relegated end of season to French Ligue 2.
Macca has done his chances of a Tykes move no harm by scoring for Barnsley today against Brizzie City.. correct me if I'm wrong but I do believe it's his first league goal since netting for us at Anfield..
Barnsley have already said that they don't plan to make a move for Macca, so we'll have to try and find him a new home.
Garcia - I'd offer Garcia a 2 year deal. He offers something at Championship level through his work rate and versatility and also if we do go up next year we can sell him as he'll still have a good year on his contract. Duke - He's not a bad keeper however I think we should let him go and buy a younger alternative ***an - This is a weird one. ***an can do a good job in the Championship and I personally like the player. I wouldn't mind him being offered a new 1 year contract with possibly a small wage cut. Olofinjana - I wouldn't like to see Oli back at Hull because of his massive wage. If Cardiff go up hopefully we could possibly try a swap deal for Gerrard? Atkinson - He's not a great player at Championship level and it'd be best for him to leave and go play at League 2 or 1 level. Bullard - We don't need him and his hefty wage back. Sell him for nowt!!! Ghilas - He won't ever play for us again, simple as. McShane - I imagine Macca is still on a Premiership 20,000p/w wage so I'd definitely like to see him leave for whatever the price. Kilbane - He's not a bad player but his lack of pace may cost us in the Championship. I'd let him go.
Duke knows he's not wanted now so will be hoping to boost his move chances by good performances from now til season end between the sticks..
Garcia: 1 year for Richard for me after which he will come home to Oz and give a couple of seasons to the game here. Duke: Has had his time and now time to move on. ***an: Needs an "anger-management" course. His own worst enemy and his best days are well behind him Olofinjana: Odds are that he will move on. Atkinson: Should try Oz. He would make it here with a better life-style. Bullard: What can anyone say about this flawed genius that hasn't already been said. Has to go - we simply cannot afford him Ghilas: Agreed. McShane: Was a brick wall for us at times but the adrenalin has gone. Dropped hints in the media for a contract at Barnsley which was nothing short of begging. Kilbane: This bloke should have been arrested at the beginning of the season for impersonating a football player. How the hell he got so many caps I do not understand. May have been good 10 years ago but has shown nothing with us and is clutching at straws with 'uddersfield.
Kilbane's actually been doing very well at Uddersfield, I've seen highlights of some of their games and he looks a different player.
Well - somebody doesn't like the Daily Fail's "predictions": http://daringtodream.footballunited.com/2011/04/13/farewell-to-the-already-forgotten-men/?
I don't know why the fail don't get him to write for them, he's a City fan and quite obviously a better(and more knowledgeable) journalist than they can currently muster.
To me, it would seem to be the case that Northcliffe Newspapers (The Fail's owners) see the regional press as just being there for the milking of funds. Why put money in when you have a monopoly situation and can use it as a "Cash Cow"?
