Am I the only 1 disappointed, we didn't retain EW.

Though, his decision to join Salford has very much surprised me.

 

That I do agree with.

The deals are are doing are not short term, as in 1 season. The club can't lose this season. I am sure we will improve on 14th and even if we finish 10th most of the the key players will still be here next season and we kick on again.

If we finish in the top 7 this season then bonus we aim for automatic the season after.

What I do like is that we have got rid of the Adams rubbish of not signing loans at the start of the season and we will use the loan market to improve us even more. I can understand people being optimistic but for once it seems like Bradford City does have a plan and I believe its to make sure we go up this season or next for sure.

 

It's not.

If we'd have offered him more than Salford he'd still be here.

 

Aftet years of slating Paudie as crap he is now lamenting us losing one of our best players.

 

Only one of those talks

 

I honestly think that when it came down to it in the end, his options were quite limited. All the talk of there being interest from multiple clubs higher up the pyramid was nothing more than his agent trying to drum up some sort of bidding war that never materialised. Yes he'll have got himself a pay rise of some sort and will have less of a commute, but I wouldn't be surprised if Salford were the only club that made him a genuine offer.

 

He's not prolific, but he's mobile, got good technique and link up play, he's tall and pretty strong. He can run behind or come short. He's the ideal central, sole striker in a 4231.

 

Isn't it all relative to how many he has attempted ? Neves might have only attempted 107 and be 100% accurate and Watt might have tried 600 and be 25% accurate. Just saying like,

 

About the only useful thing Banks did for us.

 

Or Yeates at Chelsea 'This is to seal it....'

 

Billy Knotts goal against l**ds does that for me

 

Wouldn't it be great if we can get out of this division with the likes of Watt, Sutton, Cooke, Crankshaw, Vernam, Paudie, FCD, Staunton, Foulds etc. All under 25 - some much younger - and the basis of a long term squad to hopefully challenge in L1.

 

Not sure about that, here's the picture that shows both Colin Hall & Terry Owens, better get back on topic or we will get our wrist slapped, some great hair styles back in the day.

 

This is good news, it's what we all wanted when we talk about growing the club.

Invest in young lads with potential and if they move on we make sure we get well compensated and then invest that (hopefully wisely) on infrastructure and more potential talent.

Either way, if clubs are looking at our players then we're certainly starting to do something right again.

 

I can’t see Smallwood coming here but happy to eat my words. I’d be very surprised if someone in League 1 doesn’t take him.

 

Not San Marzano this year. 28 plants, 12 varieties. Some in greenhouse at home, some in polytunnel and some outside at the allotment.
Ailsa Craig, Shirley, Bellandine, Purple Ukraine (a late replacement for Russian Red), Tigerella, Crimson Crush, Koralik, Rosella, Sungold, Auntie Madge's, Cyril's Choice and Sweet Aperitif.
Perhaps this post should be in the vegetable section of General Chat, but thought I would reply.

 

Well you are probably right but...

Difference with Mezza is he had done a decent service. Promotion, cup runs etc. Easily forgiven and forgotten.

Watt has done absolutely fook all apart from 2-3 decent months under Hughes in 2 years. Its a cliche but surely we only want players who are invested in the project and want to be here...not forced to be here.

As things stand right now he can fook off for me.
