Knight, Harding, Cullip and Virgo leaving?

[Silent Bob]

I think Harding's off, but whatever happens we'll get some money for him. Virgs isn't even out of contract is he? As for Danny and Leon I hope they stay

 

[El Presidente]

No clubs will touch Cullip until his contract has expired as he is on decent wages at present until June 2005. After that it comes down to how much the club can afford to offer him, the length of the contract, and whether he wants to stay somewhere he knows he is a legend.

As for Knight, there is no love lost between him and MM so expect to see him off at end of the season.

Harding will probably go in the transfer window.

Virgo may stay, but if anyone makes an offer the board will snap their hands off.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

if anyone makes an offer for virgo i will drive him to them

 

[3gulls]

if anyone makes an offer for virgo i will drive him to them

You what?

 

[Ned Zelic]

Why would there be a load of clubs after Virgo?? He looked fairly ordinary at RB(admitedly not his first choice position) where his distribution is not good enough. His best position is at CB where hopefully he will go on to play for the albion for a number of years, but he has rarely played at CB so far, so few clubs would know of his ability in that position. And he's a stop gap measure so no-one will sign him as a specialist striker.

Cullip may go to a leading League One side(e.g Hull) in the summer as he is proven at that level, but he's not a proven player at our current level so it would be suprising if many Championship sides went after him. Also his medical may deter clubs from paying a fee now.

Its more likely that Knight and Harding will attract the interest (can see SC taking a chance on Knight at Reading), though Kuipers is out of contract this summer and its possible that leading League One sides and a few Championship sides will be interested.

If he could Taylor would have Cullip and Kuipers in a second.

 

[Bruce Lee Wannabe]

Would be a shame to see them all go. But Cullip's the one I'd want to keep the most out of that lot. Not only is he a solid defender, but a good captain as well

 

[Uncle Buck]

but a good captain as well

You really think so?

 

[clapham_gull]

I'd hate to see Virgo go out of that lot. One of those players, who whilst not the most technically gifted, has the composure to pull something out the hat when we most need it.

He's proven that.

 

[Bruce Lee Wannabe]

You really think so?


Yeah absolutely.The team doesn't hold as much shape without him, and whenever he doesn't play the back 4 seem to be a mess

 

[clapham_gull]

I had a dream last night that Bolton signed Butters for 2 million.

He hated to leave but it was his last chance to play in the top flight.

 

[Silent Bob]

Did they say they wanted some young legs in the team?

 

[b.w.2.]

This is a thread out of nothing with MM stating the bleedin' obvious, and EP twisting the facts...

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

I'd hate to see Virgo go out of that lot. One of those players, who whilst not the most technically gifted, has the composure to pull something out the hat when we most need it.

He's proven that.

so out of virgo, knight or cullip you would keep virgo?

 

[Halftime Oranges]

If they leave we're in the shit they're aour best players.
We havn't the resources to get players of their equivilent in

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Given the choice I would take Virgo ahead of Knight personally. Danny would be the biggest loss my a mile though

 

[Silent Bob]

Depends what division we're in... but in The Championship we'd be in trouble.

 

[clapham_gull]

so out of virgo, knight or cullip you would keep virgo?

Glad you found that funny, that's not exactly what I said was it. Oh well if you can laugh at your own jokes....

 

[BensGrandad]

None of them have proved their worth or ability at this level so if they go so be it if I could keep one or two it would be Harding and Virgo because of their as yet unrealised potential.

Cullip has proved this is one division too high for him and Knight appears to be unhappy and unsettled for whatever reasons.
