Title: Cureton to stay? Post by: Dazzza on Friday, May 5, 2006, 09:59:23 Quote Cureton is in no rush to escape 5th May 2006 JAMIE Cureton may not be happy at the prospect of League Two football but you won’t find him slapping in a transfer request and running for the exit, writes JON RITSON. http://news.bbc.co.uk/olmedia/1940000/images/_1941291_jmreading300.jpg The striker is looking to end a disappointing season on a positive note tomorrow before thoughts turn to the 2006/07 campaign. Relegation inevitably fuels speculation among supporters about which players will stay or go, regardless of the individual’s contract circumstances. Cureton has been the focus for much of that chatter. The man himself says he will be turning out at Rochdale and Accrington Stanley next season, unless told otherwise! However, first thing’s first. There is the small matter of securing three points against Peter Jackson’s Terriers. Cureton, looking for his eighth goal in Town colours, said: “We want to finish as well as we can and the last memory you want people to go away with, including the players, is a victory. “The supporters haven’t had a lot to shout about and although a win would by no means make up for what’s happened this season, it would be a late plus.” Cureton, who still has a year to run on his existing deal, seems anxious to stress that no professional footballer should be happy at the prospect of performing in the basement, yet that isn’t the same as ignoring the challenge. He said: “Next year is a different division but the goals are the same, namely scoring points and winning matches. “You can talk about what you want and don’t want but you have to get on with it. “The manager has said he’s going to talk to us all individually on Monday to talk about the future. “I’m under contract. I’m not going to start banging things around and saying ‘I want to get out’. “What will happen will happen and as it stands I’ll be back here in the summer. If someone comes in for you or the club says you can go, you then react to that. “As I said though, I won’t be banging on the manager’s door. “We’ll have a chat and see what the thoughts are. “Your future is out of your hands unless you start putting in transfer requests and I won’t be doing that.” http://www.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk/News_Headlines_Story.asp?NewsID=5509 Title: Cureton to stay? Post by: Dazzza on Friday, May 5, 2006, 10:04:10 I'd say he's on fairly decent wages at this level and unless he takes a cut I can't see anyone coming in for him. Certainly not for a fee, perhaps if we let him go on a free Colchester or someone similar may sneak in for him.
Sounds very much to me that he's facing up to staying and playing league two football. Only other indication is Iffy mentions in todays Adver that there may be players under contract who may not be suited to League two football and he'll be looking at their position on Monday.

Post by: sonic youth on Friday, May 5, 2006, 10:16:14 agree with ol' fred here, i think iffy's made it clear - albeit subtlely - that cureton has no future here. he's been constantly dropped from the starting eleven for away games and i would be surprised to see him start on saturday.
Title: Cureton to stay? Post by: Fred Elliot on Friday, May 5, 2006, 10:27:26 If you read the quotes from the likes of Jenks, Whalley and Paul Smith and then compare them with what's been accredited to Cureton they are poles apart.
We need a certain type of player with a certain spirit and mentality for next season and I am afraid that the little guy does not have it. What also speaks volumes is that among all this tub thumping from the players, our player of the season is ominously quiet. But then I thinks we were all expecting that wern't we ! Title: Cureton to stay? Post by: my-velocity on Friday, May 5, 2006, 10:48:23 I want him to stay, but if the club get offered money for him they'll accept.
Title: Cureton to stay? Post by: FlashGordon on Friday, May 5, 2006, 11:30:22 Think Iffy will tell him he can look elsewhere....then when he leaves he will prob say i wasnt relishing league 2 football i needed to get out..
Title: Cureton to stay? Post by: Batch on Friday, May 5, 2006, 12:51:46 IMHO if an offer comes in from a higher league club he'll be off for a nominal fee.
Title: Cureton to stay? Post by: STFC Village on Friday, May 5, 2006, 15:16:08 Would like to keep him, only if he wants to stay though......which sounds unlikely
Title: Cureton to stay? Post by: DV on Friday, May 5, 2006, 16:15:11 I expect the main consideration from the clubs point of view is his wages. I expect he is on a fair amount and due to him not settling the world alight id be inclined to get rid and bring in 2 maybe 3 players in on his wage
Title: Cureton to stay? Post by: adje on Saturday, May 6, 2006, 18:45:16 I think the money we save on wages outweighs the dubious advantage of keeping him
Title: Cureton to stay? Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Saturday, May 6, 2006, 19:19:11 he could be a key player next season for us though. i think he will score goals in league 2 for fun
Title: Cureton to stay? Post by: my-velocity on Saturday, May 6, 2006, 19:28:46 Quote from: "Rich" he could be a key player next season for us though. i think he will score goals in league 2 for fun He won't stay fact, i think he'll go back to Bristol Rovers as it's a club he is still loyal to and if Junior decides to go then i think the move will be inevitable.

Post by: sonic youth on Saturday, May 6, 2006, 20:31:37 Quote from: "Rich" he could be a key player next season for us though. i think he will score goals in league 2 for fun doubt it, he'll ponce about all season because he's far too good for league 2. Title: Cureton to stay? Post by: Sade on Saturday, May 6, 2006, 21:42:05 I think the critisism he's got lately is rather unfair and people need to open their eyes and look back at what he's done. He's scored some crucial goals going into the last stages of this season and we should not be slating him but be thankful we had him, who else would of got those goals ? He came back from colchester and we all seen a different player. He had worked incredibly hard and kept the faith when we needed it.
I don't know whether he will stay or not, I'd like him to but we'll have to see. Title: Cureton to stay? Post by: DV on Saturday, May 6, 2006, 21:46:09 Quote from: "Rich" he could be a key player next season for us though. i think he will score goals in league 2 for fun thats pretty much what we all said in August, but with league one instead of league two. For a player with Jamies ability, a goal return of 7 just isnt good enough at all....he should be the first one to tell you that Title: Cureton to stay? Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Sunday, May 7, 2006, 02:14:52 He's scored 14 goals this season though not 7. You can't just ignore all the goals he got for Colchester.
I expect he'll be leaving anyway. Title: Cureton to stay?

I don't know whether he will stay or not, I'd like him to but we'll have to see. Bullshit. He's a wanker like the rest of them. If he had scored the two penalties hes had AND the glaring open goals AND the one on ones then we may not be in the position were in. You madam need to open your eyes. Title: Cureton to stay? Post by: Sade on Sunday, May 7, 2006, 09:40:31 And you need to take a chill pill dude. Stop ranting just because you don't agree with someones opinion.
You saying 'if he had scored this' 'if he had scored that' proves everything! This season since jamie has been back everyone has relied on him for everything! Yes he came back and did well, but for gods sake you can't expect him to do everything can you.What about the other players? surely they should be banging in some too? He did'nt miss those chances on purpose did he, he's showed passion and alot of energy and has been running up and down that pitch in some matches when the other players just did'nt care. Open you eyes and stop being so fickle. If it was not for jamie cureton, we would of been in even deeper shit. Title: Cureton to stay? Post by: Sade on Sunday, May 7, 2006, 09:47:41 ....and before anyone has a go I'm not saying its all been about cureton as a few others have contributed alot too like rhys. But jamie has scored some vital goals, and its just typical of our fans to kiss his ass and love it when he scores and is doing well, but as soon as he has a few bad games where he misses some chances they hate his guts. Its pathetic and stupid. Thats football for you, you can't rely on one player all the time.

Post by: sonic youth on Sunday, May 7, 2006, 10:03:35 it's not his goals or misses or his work rate on the pitch, it's the fact he's a self-serving arrogant little scrote.
he's missed shots more important than the goals he's scored - city away for instance. Title: Cureton to stay? Post by: Sade on Sunday, May 7, 2006, 10:11:15 I don't think he meant to though did he ? I think its really silly when people get shirty with players because they miss chances, yes it is frustrating but you can't hold a grudge over it forever. Get over it and move on ! :) Thats football for you.
What evidence do you have that he's arrogant ? Because I havent heard much.(I am asking in a civil way not a sarcastic way) Title: Cureton to stay?

You said it bro. Title: Cureton to stay? Post by: sonic youth on Sunday, May 7, 2006, 10:16:31 they aren't just your average misses though, he put it over the bar from less than 6 yards. i could have scored that.
you can he's arrogant by the way he acts on the pitch, he hasn't exactly tried to keep his mouth shut either. the day after we were relegated he was on the radio saying he was too good to play in league 2, the following day he was at reading's promotion party. he's a cunt Title: Cureton to stay? Post by: DMR on Sunday, May 7, 2006, 10:20:40 The Yeovil miss was even worse, and with the crowd we had think what that would have done for morale, cunt.
It's one thing giving it the Big I Am to a few City fans, but you've got to back it up Jamie. Title: Cureton to stay? Post by: Melksham Red on Sunday, May 7, 2006, 10:21:40 Sade, i'm not blaming it all on Cureton. If you read some of my previous posts I think the whole team is a waste of space. All i'm saying is Cureton is shit and I don't understand all this praise for him. It's the same with Iffy. The bloke's relegated us and everyone loves him. FUCKING WHY? Can someone please tell me why a player who can't hit a cows arse with a bango and a manager who has got us relegated is so fucking idolised.
Title: Cureton to stay? Post by: Mexicano Rojo on Sunday, May 7, 2006, 10:21:51 him being in a reading shirt the day after we were relegated is unforgivable in my book, hope the prick fucks off.
Title: Cureton to stay? Post by: Sade on Sunday, May 7, 2006, 10:24:44 I can see why your frustrated but I still think that theres really no need for calling him a 'cunt' and all the rest. He did miss some sitters, but every footballer does. I know it was a really important game and all that, but its not like he intended to do it was it ? He gave it a shot, maybe he panicked under pressure? who knows?
The reading thing, he was just being a good sport to his old club - people are taking it too seriously really. Say if ipswich got relegated, and we went up and parkin came back and celebrated with us just to be a good sport , same thing? We would'nt be complaining. Stop looking into it too much. Your making out he's a sly toe rag when you don't really know him! When he said he was too good to play in league 2, He's right. He was being honest. yes it was a snotty thing to say and I was not too happy when I heard it but any other footballer like him, they would be thinking it even if they did'nt say it like he did. Title: Cureton to stay? Post by: Sade on Sunday, May 7, 2006, 10:26:26 :D I would rant on about people critising iffy too, but I'll leave that for another day I think.
Title: Cureton to stay? Post by: sonic youth on Sunday, May 7, 2006, 10:27:47 if he's too good to play in league 2, we wouldn't have been relegated.
we can't afford passengers next season, especially those who won't be committed enough to work hard. next year is going to be about hard graft, not midgets poncing around the pitch.

Bollocks. He like the rest of the team have contributed to us getting relegated. If he thinks he's too good for league 2 he should watch some videos of himself. I tell you, I wouldn't give a fuck if the whole squad fucked off (Peacock and Evans excluded). Not one if them gives a fuck. Title: Cureton to stay? Post by: DMR on Sunday, May 7, 2006, 10:29:54 Too good for league 2?
Enen if he was... which he'll never be, you don't go out and fucking say it, arrogant ponce. Title: Cureton to stay?

We need people like Peacock and Lucas J. They'll fuckin sweat and work hard for this club. I don't think Mr Cureton would. Title: Cureton to stay? Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Sunday, May 7, 2006, 12:08:06 Interesting debate. I think Sade's talking the most sense,a lot of good points.
Title: Cureton to stay? Post by: reeves4england on Sunday, May 7, 2006, 12:22:20 Yes he has missed chances, but come on be fair to the guy. King didnt give him a hope in hell of scoring goals by playing him in a system that did not work. He went off to a team playing well and was banging them in.
Came back here and everybody was happy because he ws scoring goals. All of a sudden he had a bad patch, we realised he was the only one who was going to get goals and all of a sudden people have a go at him! He is the best striker at this football club, no matter whether he is arrogant or whatever, and as long as he is scoring goals next season I am happy to see him here. Title: Cureton to stay?

Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Sunday, May 7, 2006, 18:43:22 If Colchester had not gone up I think they would have come in for him like a shot and he would have gone like a shot. As it is, I think they will be setting their sights higher now they are in the Championship.
Maybe they will go for Parkin :shock: (I only just thought of that). If he does stay, Cureton and Peacock ought to be the best strike partnership in the league by a mile I would have thought. Title: Cureton to stay? Post by: sonic youth on Sunday, May 7, 2006, 18:55:19 double post means it's doubly true. fact.
peacock's better anyway, just needs fitness. |
