[Albion] Daily Mail reporting Albion have rejected £4m from Burnley for Dale Stephens

[Thunder Bolt]

Any criticism or questioning is a moan in your book isn't it ? The club are not exactly forthcoming with information, which is their prerogative and probably a good thing but it will lead to rumours.

No, questioning is good. Check out the Seven Stars thread, when I have questioned the policy as much as anyone.

Uncalled for criticism is moaning.
The club have made two statements today about Stephens so that seems forthcoming to me.

And anything but looking at things negatively is seen as rose tinted glasses in your book! LOL

I guess sitting on the fence is the best option.

LOL....you keep them coming ..I probably don't think along the same lines ..but I've never known you be agressive or rude

Hah I'm just a grumpy negative miserable old sod, but I don't moan at games....much

I think my son would probably say the same of me!

The club told Brian Owen, his knee is still injured.

Now, everyone has a choice. Believe them or not believe them.

Kinda my point - that [MENTION=25402]Blue Valkyrie[/MENTION] claimed that Jem needed to 'face facts', but the only facts we have are that he wasn't in a position to play (in their opinion). There's nothing to the contrary, just bile.

It would have been much better if Stephens had played today, even if his knee injury had been worsened, and he missed the first three months of the season, just to mollify the sceptical few on here, who wouldn't believe the club if it said the sun was hot

Which reminds me.. He still has a one game suspension to serve.

 

[lawros left foot]

If the club believed Stephens was going, wouldn't they have said his knee injury was bad enough to keep him out of the pre- season games, and not do it on an ad hoc basis of one game at a time?
Us fans, would have been chuffed if the move didn't amount to anything, and his 'injury' had healed sooner than expected.
If Dale isn't 'fit' for Tuesday, I'm still not that concerned, if he's not fit for Sunday, I'll start to fret.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Maybe DS' head isn't right to play football, and it'll all work out just fine.

Or maybe . . . he is just injured? A crazy suggestion I know.

Let's just take the £4million and move on rather than DELAY the INEVITABLE

Let's just wave bye-bye to promotion then shall we?

That went LAST week

No bile.

Stephens is gone.

Source??

I think that's a bit dramatic!

As good a player for us that Stephens can be, I'm sure we can mount a challenge for top 6 without him.

Can see a few season ticket refunds going in now,sold under false pretences,what do we expect with a tool like Barber as CEO.

But anyway I will use this
