AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I don't think he's lying but I also don't think it's a terrible deal. We weren't going to use him at all and given no one else wanted him it seems, at very worse, we make £0...and at best (at time of deal) we save ourselves around £500k and he also impresses and makes himself available for transfer or comes back to us with an appetite. Unfortunately, it looks like the first, although even just 4 appearances, will save us around £250k.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis_B Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 At least he ain't causing problems at BH if he's up there pissing it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LockStockVilla Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 At least he ain't causing problems at BH if he's up there pissing it up Agreed. As long as he stays away from our team, then this deal is worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 pardew is talking out of his rase in my opinion so we asked for no loan fee and agreed to pay his wages and only time we dont pay him is if he plays a game? what beenfit would taht have for us? sounds like horse shite to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 So does that mean we are paying his wages when he is not playing for them? The circus that surrounds Faulkner seems to continue. Besides a new manager come June 1st, how about trying to offer out an olive branch to Steve Stride? This. Why the club got rid of a guy with so much experience is beyond me.

OnlyOne Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I still wanna know who signed this prick back in August. I always thought we would have been better off with the full money instead of having a reject + less money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis_B Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I think Steve Stride left willingly with a nice pension and pay off..... he spends most of his time now in florida which is nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true why on earth would the board take on a player without consulting whoever their next target is. Its poor all round IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its poor all round IMO Apparently it was too far into the deal to back out now, also, perhaps O'Neill chose him, they asked Kev Mac and he liked him also and so didn't want to completely ruin a deal so close to being done.

foreveryoung Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Apparently, Ireland is now fit enough to play but is again, not working hard enough on the traning pitch, so pardew is not playing him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I answered this a couple posts up, not sure how correct it is but sure I read on here the deal was too far done for it to be cancelled and would have cost the club a fair bit had they cancelled it.

I have my doubts about him "not being fit"..he seems to be more injury prone than Heskey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much could the penalty have been to outweigh the discount on the Milner fee and the ongoing wages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
