This sums up my thoughts entirely.
our form over the last 2 years means i would be happy for any of the players to leave - they are all either not good enough, or dont have the character and desire

Agree, in some ways the more that go that better. Crooks only turns up and looks intrested and is fit about 25% of the time. For someone who makes up a big percentage of our wage bill that is criminal. Yes Pierre is one of the better ones of a really bad bunch. But are you seriously trying to tell me hie is not replaceable and you could replace him on about 50% of what we pay him I bet without too much bother. Let's get some perseptive here, this bunch of players are not good enough or do not want to be here or both. I've said it since last summer the bigger the turnover of players the better. We need to start again.

I find it hard to believe that anyone has a major problem with any of the players who've been here for the last 12-24 months leaving.

If we lose VV, Crooks and Pierre that’s probably our three best players and around half our goals and they won’t be replaced by equal standard players. The rest of the squad maybe with the exception of Turnbull is utter garbage and conference standard at best. If Crooks & Pierre go why even bother anymore.

The business done in this window will either mean us languishing in mid table mediocrity (which I'd be more than happy with given our current form/apathy around the whole Club and at leaset the youngsters should get more game time once we're safe ) or it'll be another relegation dogfight where our nine lives may finally run out...

I think that’s what they aren’t getting - I appreciate the sentiment of the get rid of them all brigade but if the only quality players that we have are sold with inadequate replacements made and we continue to struggle are they going to give KC time and patience as we spiral ever closer to the drop zone?

Because neither of these two are really that good or anywhere near consistantant enough to command the wages that are. Who's to say we cant/won't get better in?

The reason we are poor at the moment is because of the two full (wing) backs and two wingers NOT VV, Crooks and Pierre!

Do you seriously believe that last line?! I agree with the previous poster - a lot of the problems we have are due to our lack of consistency in the wide attacking positions and lack of decent fullbacks/wingbacks.

I find that hard to believe both Pierre and Crooks are not replaceable; perhaps Crooks less so and vV even more. To describe players as garbage even as expressed as an opinion is incorrect. If we can get money for them and bring in suitable replacements then it might work ok. Whatever the reason this group of players over the past 12 months have failed and as a result at least two managers have lost their jobs.

Agree the issue area (one of a few is wingbacks) But anyone who thinks Crooks constantly performs is kidding themselves - lets be honest the majority of the time he doesn't look interested - for someone on around 5K that's not good enough. Pierre is a decent league 2 centre back no more no less - we have had better in the past and will have better in the future.

I agree entirely that crooks is inconsistent - if he was the finished article he wouldn’t be here - but he has more ability than the rest of the midfield put together. I think you’re being a bit unfair about Pierre, granted he took a long while to live up to his billing but I guarantee that at 25 he will play at league 1 level (at least) in the future. As for the wages, I don’t want to get bogged down in the conjecture and guesswork again but I can categorically state that crooks is on nowhere near £5k a week which makes me surprised that he hasn’t been snapped up before now.

I have no idea what Pierre and Crooks are on moneywise

Honestly, the whole "Crooks doesn't look interested most of the time" line is the laziest of analysis. Yes, he has a very languid style but that is who he is and how he plays.
To say Crooks is less interested in trying/winning than, for example Buchanan, Foley, Hoskins or A.Williams on the basis they either run around a lot or show plenty of "pashun", or both is misguided at best.

Then why make it up? I suppose I can't blame you when I look at brexit/trump, you can make anything up and get away with it. Also people saying that Crooks isn't consistant enough. When he's good he's on another level and when he's not he's still as good compared to most. It's League Two!

pierre has already played in league 1 with us - i would make it a fair assumption that he will again - not with us though. crooks - tell his tax return
