Senor_Coconut Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Because we have a history of doing that? It's nonsense anyway, I remember when Danny Hall was on the verge of joining Everton after 10 games in the season from hell, Haining to Celtic, Taylor to everyone.

opinions4u Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 (edited) You know, I think TTA must have some really good press contacts who are good at talking up players. Does the lad show promise? Yes. Did he look talented on Soccer AM Skills School a couple of years back? Yes. Has he scored yet? No. Has he missed a couple of sitters? Yes. Has his presence changed the result of any game? Don't think so. If they can bag £250k for him now, with some sort of "when he plays for England" clause added in it would be good business. While I have high hopes for him, I don't think he's established that sort of value on his head just yet.

rudemedic Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I can understand why the barcodes are sniffing around him, since he scored a cracker against them in the youth cup last year (at least I think it was him). However, they have amongst their younger strikers- Ranger, Ameobi jnr, LuaLua jnr, as well as Andy Carroll (who isn't 21 yet- but only if they can keep him out of prison). Quite simply it makes no sense for the Barcodes to be spending money on a player who is still learning the game and whilst played a bit for us could do with a full season at this level to gain some more experience. I'm sure this is the same for Wigwam and the bubble blowers, this is simply paper talk and in a few weeks the same clubs will be linked with another youth prospect from a League 1 club for roughly the same amount of money who only those from that club have heard from.

Zorrro Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 As in which offer we've accepted.....???? I'm sure it's been alluded to recently that we actually received less than the suggested, already insufficient amount of £300k for Neal Eardley.

I have to disagreee on selling him now, this is one to keep for a season or two as I know even bigger clubs than these mentioned here are interested.

Bring Back Ronnie Moore Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Want eaves? £300k sell on clause, loan back for a season, future money based on goals and appearances, just to scare them off 300k?

Shhhh... you cant say things like that. He's the savior, not a rather inexperienced kid. If someone offers anything over £250k for him - snap their hands off. Move onto the next kid who might make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well put a high price tag on a unproved kid who has potential will scare a team off and allow us to development him and maybe being vital in the next few seasons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosa Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 wasn,t impressed today bad first touch no where near ready if someone wants to pay 300k i,d take it You could say that about pretty much every member of our squad this season. Eaves probably isn't really ready to be thrown into the first team at the moment, but the way Abbott's playing it can't do any harm. He looks like Bambi on the ice most of the time but at least he's keen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slacker, bin him, waste of space. niether me or anyone else would expect him at 17/18 to be the finished article but at that age i would expect him to be able to control a ball. i didn,t mean my earlier comment to sound nasty but we have no money and if someone were to offer that much for eaves i,d take it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
