    Anderson's been on holiday since the day he arrived at VP.

    Dunno - However something isn't right. Perhaps he has a 'Flash car', and talks Billy big balls (Tells team mates how everything was so much better at Man U ) ?

    Oh maybe Hopkin couldn't coach him, didn't rate him or motive him and then got hacked off with having to reduce the wage bill so totally went about it the wrong way.

    By the time Bowyer came in P'O'Connor was here who he knew and Mellor was fitter.

    However, unlike Wright who Bowyer came out and praised it did seem Bowyer was having a pot shot at him for his lack of effort.

    Shame he isn't fit to lace the boots of a former Liverpool reserves captain we signed. Maybe, he should of talked to Darby to understand what it takes to make it at Bradford City having been a big club for so long. Would of helped him.

    people creaming themselves over Colville is a bit embarassing. bigging him up because he's a young kid that found himself on the bench in the worst squad ever created at Valley parade for a couple of games due to lack of adequate cover and everyone thinks he's the next Frank Lampard.

    he's rubbish. he won't make it. mark my words.

    not sure it is. in the three pages of this thread i've managed to count 8 posts that describe him as 'decent' or talking about how he 'looked very good' at the start of last season.
    neither of those statements are true. he didn't look particularly decent, nevermind very good.
    he was just sort of there.

    It seems that some don't have an option hence one of the reasons the club is where it is.

    2.6m budget and 3 contract offers to players that won't make the grade and sign a prospect.

    Ok let's keep eating into that budget with players that won't make a difference. That makes sense.

    Fordy you keep banging on about how decent Wright is despite how badly he performed last season.

    would you describe calling someone decent is fans creaming themself?
    He's a squad player with the potential to become a first teamer if he stays fit, he's not Frank Lampard.

    The rumour I heard was that Hopkin didn’t Like his work ethic and Riley thought he was bigger than the club. More than once Riley cried off training with “illness” which angered Hopkin and when a player boasts about his salary, flash car and which bird he’s currently seeing when the team are losing every week it is likely to get a managers back up as well as other, more senior players ....can’t comment about Bowyers attitude to Riley as I don’t know...BUT, he seems to have adopted the same attitude as Hopkin towards him.

    3 goals in 14 appearances for the club last season and only 19 yrs old, Is worth a punt

    No, I believe the squad last season is better than they performed. Collins and Hopkin were awful managers.

    I see no point in offering contracts to all Devine, Anderson and Colville maybe 1 or 2 but not all 3.

    Next we will be offering Patrick another 3 years.

    And all 3 were part of that squad!! All 3 are different players to each other.

    If we offer him anymore years then that's when I start to panic. But that won't happen.

    Big clubs don't scout people if they have no talent Fordy. Might be wrong but the lads not played a senior game of football below league one......

    Can't see that being true.

    Lots of contract offers are reported to have been withdrawn every pre season.

    No sure at the minute.

    The club is looking desperate. Like getting a BantalkTalk 11 and running around asking @Park bantam@Park bantam to be part of the squad.

    Look, it's early days in the transfer market but we can't complain about the squad last season then praise those that couldn't get in it.

    Makes no sense.

    We'd to chance to free up the wage bill and then offer contracts to the likes of Danny Devine who is horse sh@te. Madness!
