If we replace them, all well and good....but we haven't.....yet! And those players are not in the squad to face Carlisle tomorrow, therefore however crap you think they were, our squad for tomorrows game is weaker than it would have been had they been here.
KVV really didn't want to play League 2 football, not necessarily that he didn't want to be at NTFC......if he didn't then why did he make the move and sign the contract? He didn't, and now he's back in League 1.....not bad for a crap player, to actually go up a division that is.
Crooks was, I think, too good for us. His attitude was questionable, perhaps thats because he realised he had a load of garbage players around him" But I saw him dismantle Macclesfield single handedly a couple of months ago, and for me it was the best individual performance by any of our players in any game this season. Good player on his day, and those days were not often enough granted. but good riddance?? Really?
He's left us to go to a team playing two leagues higher than us, and KC says there were other offers too, Billy Waters also says there were other offers for him as well.
I wonder how many offers we've had for Shay Facey? Dean Bowditch perhaps? What about Sam Hoskins?
The squad has scored 33 goals this season. VV, Crooks and Waters between them have scored 15 of those, not far off half.
Anyone who says we're better off.....before they see whether we actually get ANY replacements, let alone can judge the quality of those replacements is having a laugh.
Yes good riddance. It might be harsh but I’m sick and tired of these players thinking they’re above themselves. I watched both Crooks and KVV barely fight to keep us in the division last year and all of a sudden because their technical ability is better than League Two they think they’re too good for us. Get proper players in who want to fight for the club rather than those who just think they’re too good for the division. Fans don’t pay £22 a week for you to have a questionable attitude because you don’t believe the players around you are on your level, not good enough.
With regards to replacements let’s wait and see who KC can get in. I’m not saying we’re better off right now I just believe they’re both very replaceable players that I’m not really that sad to see the back of because I believe KC is more than capable of bringing in adequate replacements. You’re always going to be weaker if you lose a starter or two in a window but that’s football. Would you rather KC rushed to sign players in time for the game tomorrow? Some of the biggest clubs in the world have to go a few months with a weaker squad. That’s the way it goes.
