Alex Jones

[bycars bootboy]

Greed prevails again,good riddance.

All to easy to invoke "his agent" as a way of deflecting. Bottom line is we couldn't agree personal terms.

 

He's a professional footballer who's been offered good money at a sensibly run club with a permanent manager.

The bad thing about this is with Alex he was doing so well here, wish him luck.

Disappointing but the slight positive is that we made a decent enough bid for Birmingham to accept the permanent offer.

 

Need to get someone in fast though, maybe poach Leon Clarke from under Burys nose on loan or something.

Wouldn't be surprised if he struggled similar to billy knott. The grass ain't always greener as he may find out.

Just waiting for ours to get greener.

Omar Bogle from Grimsby scores for fun. 18 league goals up to now.

Commented on in the transfer thread.

That's a bit harsh, I think. Any player and moreso a young lad will take advice from their agent. Smurf has to work within a budget.

Good luck to Jones. Can't blame the lad for taking the best deal he can. Although given the fact he was happy at Vale, our offer must have been significantly worse than the Bradford one for him to leave.

 

Perhaps the Chairman thinks he can find a decent striker for half the wages Jones wanted? Oh yeah...we been here before.

Sadly the scourge of modern day football the agent cost us, sadly a necessary evil it seems.

Agent: We would like normal wages, normal bonuses and a Port Vale kit to play in.

NS: My counter offer is 2 bags of corn, and some free shoelaces for his boots.

Agent: See ya

 

Deal over!

Be waiting a while then :(

I'd disagree with that, what would you take a much, much bigger club right in the promotion picture or a club who have just lost their manager sailing aimlessly in mid table with about 20% of the crowds of the competitor?

That would contradict the money he's already splurged over a number of years. If anyone really thinks we can compete financially with the big clubs including Bradford in this league I'd be amazed.
