B4ev6is Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I think yanks are learning to stop selling our best players on the cheap because then we need buy better players to replace them, and i think now derby have turned down a 2m plus bid for shackall, but i rather us not sell him at all because if we lose him then we are short of centre backs then, but if we can get 4m for him then maybe if i was nigal i would look on cashing in on him getting a striker a right back and left back and a new centre back with that money, and maybe might able to look at a player from european champship, or offer theo a new contract to tie him down for next 3 years or so. we can not afford to let go of our other top striker go as we have already lost steven davies. i would take 400 to 8ook for him.

CornwallRam Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I think that we've never had any 'best players' with long enough left on their contracts to drive hard bargains for whilst the 'yanks' have been here before B4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisse Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I believe their main concern has been cost cutting in wages and that is the reason they have sold players so cheap. Hopefully in the future we are going to get fees that are more fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAILLY 22 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 i think you're being pretty patronising to the 'yanks'. give an example when they have sold our best players 'on the cheap'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobDcfc Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I doubt the bid rejected was 2m+... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have we even sold anyone except Moxey? Commons was something or nothing, Hulse was undisclosed. Erm I can't think of others? They were manly paid off?

They were manly paid off? I'm being lazy not checking dates & facts, but Tyrone Mears? The point is B4, you can't say the Yanks are learning from mistakes, when they've never been in this position before to make the mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butthead Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I wonder how our fans would react if our 'yanks' referred to us as limeys? Can we not just call them the Board or something a little less antagonistic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladyram Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I'm not offended if Americans refer to me as a limey, nor does it bother me if the Aussies refer to me as a pom and even the French have their own term of 'rosbif' to describe us. To some I s'pose it's fair to say it's seen as derogatory - but it doesn't really bother me I have to say. You probably all know I'm from Yorkshire but if I had a quid everytime I read 'Yorkshire scum' on here I'd have a fair few pennies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always amuses me when the Aussies refer to us as poms (pohms) - the P in the phrase is the give away - 'Prisoner' - that describes you, not us.....

Duracell Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 It's the manner in which you use these terms, not the words themselves. Nobody uses the term "Yank" with affection when referring to our board and I for one don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladyram Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I don't like reading Dirty Yorkshire Scum either Duracell - but it's going to happen wether I like it or not. I've learnt to take no notice of it when it's on a forum. Not saying it's right but there it is, it happens, and to be honest there's other things in life which I find far more offensive and can get much more upset about.
