the trouble we have is that one of our prize assets has gone for nothing.obviously he will need replacing, and the money for that will have to be found now.that's a bit of a pain in the arse as that means other areas wont get the dosh on them.so i have to say i hope it all goes wrong for the bloke.he could have signed a contract here and still got a move.down to pure greed,he'll trouser more dosh himself now.fuck him!
Well, we've already got the money we were prepared to offer him,(which would have been one of our higher salaries) so that's a start - there must be other free agents out there. Don't foget we're in a better position than last season - when Cox went we only had one striker - now we've got Austin and Pericard already |

and a much more attractive proposition. We had only just beaten off relegation last time |

I wish him all the best. You can't begrudge him leaving for a team in a higher division who'll pay better wages. It is slightly disappointing that he didn't show more 'loyalty' (I know there's no loyalty in football these days) and sign an extension in January so that we could've at least got a bit of cash for him, but he's been a good servant to the club in the three seasons he's been here.

I dont know where any of you lot work but if another company came to you and offered you better working conditions (CCC not L1 in this case) and a fuck load more money, would you stay in your current job? Would you bollocks! |

How much loyalty would we have shown if he'd had a shit season and just picked up a long term injury? Fuck all, the same as he is showing when a large wad of cash and a higher league was offered to him. |

anyone criticising him for leaving is ridiculous. We would all do the same given the chance. He's done well for us, so good luck n all that.
surely?

i aint got a problem with him going.it's that fact that this has been brewing for months, and he could have let the club who got him back on his feet get some money for him.

Agreed. I'm not gonna begrudge him a move, but the fact that its for nothing is the bit that makes me bitter. |

Nah, he's Leeds Scum now  For me he sits between Lucas Jigglybits and Parkin/Cox. I was annoyed LJ left without really 'doing it' for Swindon. I was delighted for Parkin because he gave years of goalscoring bliss. I was happy for Cox because he was too good for league 1. I'm indifferent erring on the side of hoping he falls flat on his arse for Paynter. On one hand I don't blame him for leaving, on the other we've been dumped. Its like Grant Smith only Paynter gave us a whole season of goodness rather than half |

Be suprised If paynter can continue his form in the division above, what with this being his first over 20 goals season an' all.
Be suprised If we sign a direct replacement too, at least right away. Can see Pericard and Austin up front in our first game of the new season

Exactly, always amazes when people moan about players leaving to better their standard of life/work. |
