Saleiro leaves the club

[bomber]

Always going to be difficult for any player far away from home , don,t think he will be the last either.

[Rudge's Flat Cap]

I had this concern, and especially entering the winter months just could not see a lot of these players performing to their potential against hardened lower league English players.

 

Can we please use this money to bring in a seasoned striker who knows what League 1 is all about, even if he's got too many miles on the clock. Struggling for suggestions mind.

[Emile]

Let's not overreact.

 

Arrived unfit and has barely featured. Whatever his issues are he has decided to go home.

 

There is nothing to say any of the other players feel this way and would like to leave, including players who havent had the gametime yet.

 

Good luck to Carlos whatever he does next. Could be a loss to us down the road but hope Bruno can find a replacement and perhaps someone a little more proven in our league.

I would go after Izale McLeod. Notts county want to offload him as they can't guarantee 1st team football with all of the other Strikers they have like Stead etc..

 

He's only 31, experienced and he scored 19 in 42 games the last time he was in Lg 1 with Crawley.

is Sullay kaikai up for loan ???

TBF this was always the gamble bringing in players from abroad, it's hard enough getting players from Crewe to come never mind southern Europe.

 

Not surprised that players some players are looking to go, not only the country, town area but family, style of play, game time etc all contributing factors in getting a happy bunch.

 

Some players name them go on.

[Guppy 4 England]

Hadn't played for over a year , no surprise he's left. Not fit enough and too old to start again. Happy with Forrester and hooper, just need one more to give them competition.

New lad seems promising. Prob need a winger more now.

Just read his wiki entry for first time though, and from reading it it does seem there was something there. International up to u-23 and close to full honours.

I've heard that Salerio and Purkiss had a bust up in training last week, which is why Purkiss was dropped on Saturday and Salerio wasn't in the team.

 

From what I've heard Salerio gave the club an ultimatum either he goes or Purkiss goes, so he's gone.

[Bald Eagle]

Split his money between Foley and Grant and get them on longer contracts

Sorry didn't mean some players, mean't wouldn't surprise me if some players were looking to go. Not anyone in particular.

[TheSage]

What I heard was that Purkiss turned up late on Saturday and was dropped from the team but obviously re-instated tonight. It make sense, I think, but is all conjecture.

It doesn't matter now. It was good to see him back as he gets forward better then a centre half does. Did ok tonight.

 

Not really surprised that a player can't settle here. It's a tough ask just moving house to another country let alone trying to adjust to English football. It's got to be a big culture shock too. Burslem or the Algarve? Let me think......

[butt lane vale fan]

Amazing how many different stories you get from "people in the know" over Purkiss. I've only heard 3 different versions lol

I'm not saying "I'm in the know", I was just relaying what I overheard George Andrews telling someone about a Purkiss and Saleiro bust up.

IF... and its a big if because we dont know.... IF he made the ultimatum he had to go.... whether there was a bust up or not, whether he was in the right or not... you cant have a player holding the club to ransom.
