I have read on a couple of forums and on the BBC site that we are trying to sign Ryan Clarke from Salisbury, Could this mean that Brez is on his way ?

Yep. Quite a few of our better players are being chased by bigger clubs.

Is this true Tails ?

I hope not .. perhaps its Phil Smith who might be departing?

Plymouth need a right back and according to their fans they are looking at someone in the lower leagues. Comminges is stalling on a contract. I don't think it's hard to see what's going to happen here.

Easton and McNamee are attracting a lot of interest as well. Apparently McNamee is really pissed off that no one is getting on the end of his crosses or something. I would imagine Brez is still attracting attention, he has been since he came here.

I just hope we can hold on to them all.

We need a big tall bastard up front who stays up front, Not one of our strikers is your out and out goal scorer they seem to drop far too deep and by the time the cross has been put in they are no where to be seen

Parkin.

maybe if we actually played Billy Paytner he'd get on the end of them, if not Barry Corr non-crippled 2007 version probably would as well.

Paynter would fill his boots if he was given a few games to finish off Macca's crosses.

I hope Brez goes,im bored of his hero worshiping faction.Hes not really that good either.Cash in I say ,if hes under contract that is?

Both paynter and corr and even peacock drop far to deep imo.

Surely we dont need to sell players anymore?

Probably dont tans but why keep players who do not want to stay(if that is the case)

This is about goalkeepers not centre forwards!!!!!!!

How many footballers do you know who desperately want to stay at a lower league club when a team from a higher division is interested?

I think you're confused with players being happy at their current club, and players who actually want to leave.

 :goodpost:

I would be highly surpurised if it was true, but at best he would be a backup keeper.

But that does not suggest which of the keepers will leave

Yeah let's get rid of a player because the fans like the bloke!!!  Let's get a keeper in we can all slag off after every match.  That'd be much better!!!

Well, yeah thats probably a bit much, but I think a lot of our fans seriousley over rate Brezovan. He's not bad and has the potential to make wonder saves, but he's also made his fair share of cock ups this season.

If we got £500k for him I wouldnt be bothered in the slightest.

But Phil Smith has looked woeful this season so then we could end up with garbage like Rhys Evans, Bart Griemink or Jimmy Glass who cost goals every other game as 1st choice which would be a step back IMO.......sort Brez's kicking over the summer and I don't see any problem with him. Decent keepers are hard to find at the moment, just look at the Premiership where half of them are distinctly average and you certainly wouldn't find one for anywhere near 500k.

Evans wasn't that bad either.  Brez may not be the best but he's good enough for this level, and probably for the level above, but I don't think we should actively look to sell the bloke.

Smith's a good number 2, think he found it tough at some stages of the season though.

Obviously if someone came in with a decent offer for either we should have a serious think about it.

According to the West Press, Brighton are also after Ryan Clarke as well.

600,000 grand was offered for brez when sturrock was here.
we should have taken it imo

Are you having a laugh Arriba?  if we had accepted that offer then that £600k would have gone straight into the old board's coffers - never to be seen again.  In principle I see what you're saying but for us to sell Brez at that time would not have benefitted the club at all.

fair point janaage.
the money would have been lost forever.but that wasn't what i was on about really.

what i meant was that we'd be lucky to get that sort of fee now.

600,000grand?! 600,000,000?! Fucking hell, we really should have taken that!  :D

I know what you mean!  Just a practical point of view I was trying to put across.

and a valid one i agree with fully.
i just didn't look at it that way until you pointed it out to me.

 :D

We won't sell McNamee. If we do i'd be very pissed off!

Well Rhys will be back next week  :wink:

Brez hasnt lived up to the hype of 'that' run of games from last season, but he's still a more than able keeper and honestly I dont think there is any reason to sell (unless we get offered silly money)

If Brezovan has been getting interest from Spurs and Celtic etc it wouldnt be that much of a suprise to see Brez join Newcastle, Dennis Wise loves him, with Given always injured Brez would be a decent back up for Steve Harper

You already said that. Brez is nowhere near good enough for the premiership. He's like konstantoplois off of coventry. Was very good in the lower two divisions with hartelepool, but isn't establishing himself in a poor coventry side i dont think. Brez is mid-table championship at best i'd say.

Better than Basso! And he's in the play-offs!

Basso's better than brez

I really don't rate Basso myself

Basso's shit (whenever I've seen him anyway).

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: Phillips is better than Basso.
