shame as he is one of our better players but he obviously cant hack the hard work .. so good riddance!

Perhaps he can't see a future under Wises management, is too lazy or thinks Swindon are too lowly in the league structure. Seems an odd time to leave if it is the latter though?

i take it he still thinks he's too good to be playing in league 2 then!

never mind, no big loss.

If he wants to leave; then let him.

We only want players who are committed to the club.

IMO, brown wouldnt be a huge loss.  hes just a better version of ricky shakes, who is one of the worst wingers ive ever seen play for STFC. average player + no commitment = goodbye

get a fee for him that will do

as i said on the other forum i think it maybe the fact that monkhouse will be first choice this season

maybe he just feels we wont be first choice and thats fair enough i guess

no its not, in the leagues there are far more squad players than first teamers. the difference between brown and quality squad players is that he hasnt the bottle to stay and fight for a place. get rid

we signed him last year to help us stay up.he failed miserably fuck him let him move on probably one of the better paid players anyway so lets free up his wages..

mr devlin does this mean there is now a spare seat on the plane to ibiza :wink:

but he has had that at qpr and bristol city.
 with monkhouse, shakes, weston, rodrigo (maybe) and brown all going for places then i can see why he would want to go.
the fact is by wise bringing these wide players in must seem to brown that wise does not rate him so why stay?

just trying to see it from his point of view rather than everyone say he is a cu*t just because he wants to leave

Shame really, as i thought he was a good player and it now means Wise has to look out for yet another new face to fill the gap.
So we now need: Another keeper, another centre back, another left midfielder and possibly a centre mid.....
Like i said on the other forum, maybe its worth signing up this Rodrigo player as he can play either left midfield or upfront, so that would be a bonus. He also sounds a good player from what i've heard from people who attended the FGR game.

you cant judge a player on one pre season friendly! wise has a limited budget so its essential who he brings in wont be a waste of money

at the end of last season he said he was too good for lg 2 and that was before wise was even appointed.i really wouldnt bother trying to look at it from his point of veiw.if he is afraid of competion then we can do without anyway

We know that the majority of our squad aren't good enough for L2....so it will take Wise a while to identify and get rid of the wasters.....at least Brown is looking to get out, as opposed to sitting around doing jack shit and collecting his wages....not sure there'll be many takers mind.

   I'd expect to see a good few fall out of favour as the season proper starts....which is why this season will be transitional.

i wouldnt be suprised if he is talking to other clubs now reg

I hope he leaves.  He was shit for us last season and only got into the team because Iffy had some kind of fascination with the fella.  No big loss to be honest.

He will end up doing a Thorpe - eg going to a higher league club for half a season, and then will end up signing for someone shitter then Town

We'll miss him.

i think he is 1 of our best 5 players easy, i think hes quality

Its been common knowledge now for weeks that Brown feels he is too good for us.

Why do you think he suddenly started playing out of his skin once we were relegated? so other clubs would notice him

He bought a house in Swindon and hasnt moved in.

Apparently its been said by Brown himself, back in March that if we went down he wouldnt stay.

No other club will come in for him though, so we're stuck with a player that doesnt want to be here.

also, on the official site why does he have 3 hands?

i've always said he's a cunt.

today he's proven it.

oh well not really a big loss

He speaks highly of you 8)

I thought he was brilliant against Bristol City... But good riddance to any player who doesn't want to be at the club, it's as simple as that.

I predict he'll join Plymouth Argyle with Holloway!

Plymouth? You are having a laugh right?!

I can't see him getting into a much better team. I always rated him when he played for Sh*tty but having watched him on a more regular basis I have to say he doesn't set the world alight.

Obviously I don't know what the reasons for him going are so I'm not going to make assumptions and slate him based on them

i am being stupid but hasnt he just done a trial with reading?

He is crap and just cannot cope with the new regime

Best rid of him

Transitional Reg, i do not think so. Cannot see 2 internationals would take over a newly relegated L2 club just to see it flounder in mid table

:|  Shame. But its best he goes if his attitude is 'I'm not playing for them because they're in league 2' , we need players who are willing to give it 110% next season and if their hearts arent in it then theres no point them being here.

:P  Oh yeah and atleast we only have two city rejects now.

I think thats another Aaron Brown. I remember reading it yesterday about some player also called Aaron Brown, playing for Reading in a friendly, but an injury forced him off and he was replaced by a keeper (Federici) who actually scored the winner and the only goal of the match....Something like that anyway....But Brown was playing for us at the time...

Here's where i read it: http://home.skysports.com/list.asp?hlid=403337&CPID=34&clid=3&lid=6&title=Saturday+friendly+round-up



Even the kit-man played  :|

I think you're right Reg, at least about players falling out of favour (probably about the transitional as well, although I hope we can combine that with a decent push at promotion/playoffs - not impossible). I'd not be too surprised to see us coming out of the Jan transfer window with quite a  different starting line-up to what we start the season with.

Reading's Aaron Brown used to play for Tamworth.

http://www.readingfc.premiumtv.co.uk/javaImages/4d/f6/0,,10306~2815565,00.jpg

He's 100% not Swindon's Aaron Brown.

Reg how do you know the majority of our squad aren't good enough for League Two? The first 11 that played against Ciren would be a superb XI in the bottom tier IMO.

He can fuck off then, we need commitment.

He doesnt know Tails. League 2 is not about quality, it is about fitness and commitment. Something the players never had under King/Iffy but this is Wise totally different kettle of fish.

What negative crap would Reg spout if we won league 2? I for one am not looking to consolidate and i cannot believe that Wise/Poyet will be either

Reg makes some good points if we won league 2 i should imagine he'll be saying we are going straight back down  :D

  Swindon Town: Peter Brezovan, Jack Smith, Jamie Vincent, Curtis Weston, Jerel Ifil, Ady Williams, Michael Pook, Ricky Shakes, Christian Roberts, Lee Peacock, Andy Monkhouse

  I'm of course basing my statement on the players from last season.

  The likes of Smith, Whalley, Pook, Shakes, Roberts and Ifil last season were generally either poor or very poor......Peacock did alright before getting injured....throw in Nicho, who had by season's end degenerated into little more than a pub player and it will take a massive turn around.....these players allowed our club to achieve its lowest ever position in a single tier 3rd division....through lack of professionalism; one thing I'm sure Wise wont tolerate...I'm not sure that's something you can just wish to change and make  happen in a matter of weeks, far more likely that those players will be moved on.

 Of the new boys, I'll pass judgement when I've seen them play.

Well, come to that none of us know. But he has a point - sides that struggle in League 1, struggle in League 2, if they waltz in thinking "Aah, drop in quality, we'll waltz this div". There is no real gap - viz Stockport, Torquay or conversely Swansea and Southend.

Nail on the head there. That's where I'm pinning my hopes on. Too many of last season's squad, as Reg says, underperformed to a shocking extent and got us relegated. However, it's more a case that they underperformed than never had it in them (for most, anyway), so if Wise can get the performances out of them, we're laughing (well, giggling a bit). Some he won't be able to, and they'll be on their way by Xmas.

nice to see Brown has been left behind and not jetted off to Ibiza....

now just fuck off....

Doncaster Rovers according to Official site. Glad hes gone......can't see them doing much next season.

i'm quite happy he's gone, will we get a fee?

i'll drive him to doncaster myself, although i may try killing him in the process

I totally nonplussed by his departure to be honest.

Showed flashes of quality, but ultimatley did it far too infrequently to be considered a good player.

Dont think being played at left wing back helped his cause much though.

 :nod:  :thumbs:

He's on trail at Doncaster according to teletext  :shock:

I saw that on the bbcsport website and Sonic mentioned it further up in this thread.

Seems amicable enough according to the official site, the door hasn’t been closed and we won’t be seeking a fee if he chooses to move on.

Nice opinion from a Donny fan:

I've never been a fan of his tbh.  Good runner but dreadful footballer.

Aaron Brown......meeeeh!

Not too fussed,he had a few good games then was shit :shrug:

At least he gave a fuck

Mentalist performance at City is indicative of what we'd miss from him

mentalist in the way that it was his only contribution?

i enjoyed his performance at gills, purely cos sonic realised his nemisis

to be fair to brown he's been honest, unlike sean or rhys or whoever, he's not pissed us around and he might have played better if spazzer iffy had played him in the proper position- he often said he was having to play out of place

that's true. i agree with you there DMR

still, he's not that great. no loss

well Donny fans are saying he played shite last night so he will probably be back here next week

Meeeeh!

he'll have to face an angry sonic blocking his way back into the county

is left-wing not his position then? he played there at least half the time, probably a fair bit more.

left-wingback he wasn't, i'll accept that.

he was shite.

and a cunt.

and i shall be driving to doncaster tomorrow to break his legs in case he tries to come back.

the man youth has a point. He was shit at left wing back, but he was shit on the left wing half the time too.

*tries not to do an OST meeeeeh*
