We're not in the trenches. We're on about the football pitch. For comparison, I wonder how many more league goals Hoskins, Buchs and Mcwilliams have amongst them?
Hoskins would make it across no-man's land in record breaking time, no probs...it's when he hit upon the German trenches, I'd worry for him!

Rather than guessing what KVV used to earn,how about guessing a few signings instead?

So you know this for sure?
KVV was 100% JJOT was 90% to go

I heard this from a pretty reliable source.

Lets face it bar a couple of players, nobody has been any good this season. I would only keep Cornell, Pierre, odofin, Williams, Crooks, Turnbull and Foley along with the youngsters as for the rest as I said nobody has covered themselves in glory this season.

As for KVV, people say he is lazy, which may be true but how many times did he chase down and win a lost cause and create something from nothing, he was dangerous when on form and to be honest the only player with any quality he always found a man when he was passing, which most of squad struggle with, he was rarely in the middle where he should be, but I think our lack of quality and form meant he was more useful linking play as nobody else had the quality to do it. He is a loss and I was actually starting to really rate him, but if he was bad egg in the dressing room and didn't want to be here then get rid.


I just hope we lose some of the other big time charlies and replace whoever leaves with players who work hard and can pass a bloody ball.

To be honest the way the team has been chopped and changed in recent weeks I wouldn't rule anybody out to go today or at any point through the window

This. KvV was not lazy (this season at least), he just knew when to run. Quality player that unfortunately a luxury we cannot afford at this level.
I feel the same about Crooks if he's on the same kind of money. Yes, on his day, he is the best player in the squad, but his availability and performances are not consistent enough to justify at the moment.

I hope we do not sign Carlisle squad players and KC sticks to his 'energetic style of footballer'. Hallam Hope does not fit that specification!
I would prefer two or three of our youngsters intergrated into the team first and a couple of influencial first team starters coming in.

Then hopefully KC will stick to his best eleven and stop tinkering, plus stamp our style of play on opponents instead of the failed JFH thinking of counteracting the opponents style as the priority!

Nothing from me but I did hear we lost quite a bit [£300K] on the KVV transfer. This is unsubstantiated, but if true, the owners really need to take a look at themselves. The obscene amount of money squandered to pay off JFH has already been discussed. I remember KT saying the club was protected from that dreadful appointment and pay-off, but we are now selling our top earners to balance the books. Doesn't look like we have been protected to me. Certainly more transparency regarding the finances would allay these rumours if untrue.

There’s a lot of players that don’t fall into Curle’s “ energetic style” category .
JJOT , Buchanan , Bowditch and Crooks for example ....
KVV was quite energetic I thought , and so it was a bit of a silly comment to make because if he now brings in a lump of a centre forward it’s going to be thrown back at him .
KvV didn’t want to be here and KT wanted to recoup the money and pay less wages . That’s the top and bottom of it .
Recruitment is everything . Let’s see what Curle is made of .

Well Sad Old Git said we lost 65% so that would make the fee we paid around £460,000 !!!!!!!!!

He was a better class than most of the division, lack of service and quality around him was his biggest downfall, he wasnt lazy this season by any means, although the sceptics would say thats because he was looking for a way out
