oafc1955 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 getting beat to a signing by the mighty Crewe hmmmm David Platt, Craig Hignett, Danny Murphy, Seth Johnson, Rob Hulse, Dean Ashton,........... will he be yet another player to come off the Crewe production line in a couple of years?

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 David Platt, Craig Hignett, Danny Murphy, Seth Johnson, Rob Hulse, Dean Ashton,........... will he be yet another player to come off the Crewe production line in a couple of years? Isn't the "famous Crewe production line" a load of :censored:e now though? All those players were ten years ago and older, they've done bog all in the last few years resulting in their demise. For me Crewe just got a bit lucky with a few good players at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'A bit lucky' you say, well I wish we had their luck as it's not run out yet!!!..........Ashton's £3m move was only 5 years ago, David Vaughan to Real Sociedad in 2007 and Nicky Maynard's move to Bristol City for 2.25m was only 18 months ago! That averages transfer receipts to the club of over 1m per year over the last five years. These are just the main movers there are more besides!!!

creepy Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Are you suggesting we pay a player more than we deem he's worth? what im suggesting is if the kid has got talent (which is why we are in for him in the first place) then we do all we can to bring him to this club if thats means spending more than CREWE ALEXANDRA then so be it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senor_Coconut Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Not really, the point was irrelevant because all players we go after are deemed to have talent, thats why we try to sign them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowl Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) Not really, the point was irrelevant because all players we go after are deemed to have talent, thats why we try to sign them. eg.

BigfinLatic Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 getting beat to a signing by the mighty Crewe hmmmm A stupid reaction... What if we are both offering the same, however we have told the kid you will be playing in the stiffs and you might get a shot in a year or so, whereas Crewe have said you'll be getting first team football? You just dont know what is on the tablke for him... Lets not assume he is the answer to all our prayers. Surely if he was that good a lot of clubs may have been interested when he was released by Celtic, rather than going to the illustrious flixton. Paw, Deano, Jigsaw, Poison Dwarf, Brookey and Hopefully Hef.... all in theory ahead of him... I wouldnt be crying if we missed out on another kid that might make it one day... we need someone to put it in the onion bag now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creepy Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Not really, the point was irrelevant because all players we go after are deemed to have talent, thats why we try to sign them. how can my point be irrelevant, when my point was - if the kid has got talent we should be doing all we can to bring him to this club, beating off competition from a league 2 club?

garcon Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 "Doing everything we can" to out bid another club for an unproven non-league player is financial suicide. Having had a player on trial, the club must offer terms that the club's OWN management decide are appropriate, NOT what Crewe or any other club think is appropriate. If that means he chooses Crewe instead then so be it, they value him more than we do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
