Guest Stevie Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I wonder if he said look Hughton no ones wearing 9 why can't I have it. I think any journo reading this someone like Simon Bird, should ask the question, can you explain why Leon being a striker was not offered the number 9 shirt.

LeazesMag 0 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 2 goals in 31 appearances last season. I'm almost at the point of no return while Ashley is here. I'm sure Hughton would like to sign better players than this, but hes not being given the opportunity to do so by the fat man. So depressing this. Nailed.

Isegrim 8868 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 i can't understand the three and a half year deal like. Can't give 2.5 under new rules as after a year they're allowed to look around or summink. You sure about that? Isn't it the other way round if you think about the Webster case, i.e. that a player can look elsewhere after a protected period? Though, FIFA seem to have changed Art. 17 now, so I am not sure.

Well at the very least it stops them running it down as they would if it was 2 or so. In the 3.5 the protected period is 2 iirc. Not sure these days.

Nothe protected period is three years for players under 28 and just two years for players over 28. 2.5 years would have been enough, maybe an option for another year, for a player who is at the moment mediocre Championship standard at best and it's questionable if he can become a decent striker for a higher level. There would always been the chance to offer him a new contract in case he proves to be a hit (and people wrong). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6293 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Ah well time to put the positive head on. Last player we signed from Coventry was considered by some at the time to be mediocre and over-hyped. Bellamy did alright for himself though As for the #9 thing... I genuinely think they're too shit scared to give it to anyone they'd consider signing as they know we'd be massively underwhelmed and have another bough to beat them with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why he doesn't post to be honest, he used to raise the occasional good point. what I find amusing is that NO is such a goooood board, with so many banned and unwanted posters now on here, yet he finds the time to read all our posts. Still would have thought more of him if he had been big enough to respond to my posts/attempted pms months ago too. Still, wtf. You can swear on here and other terrible things, talk earnestly and factually about how good it was to be in europe regulary, and disagree with admin.

Chaser 1053 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I can't see how you can remotely link Bellamy with Best, save for the Coventry connection. To mention them both in the same sentence is ludicrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To mention them both in the same sentence is ludicrous. The Coventry connection (and to a lesser extent a general apathy at both signings) was what I was getting at. Who knows what Best will do? Safe to say there's very few, if any, on here who have watched him that closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
