FFC Firesale--Player Rumor thread

After Parker's display on Sunday, I won't miss him if he goes.

 

Ouch.

 

Not sure if this is part of Felix's plan, but looks like youngsters that went out on loan may be a part of the future...

Cheers,

Two managers came in and couldn't put a dent in the attitude and psyche of this team. I fear the rot had been allowed to set in too deeply, so the more senior team members to go the better. And hopefully we can keep as many kids as possible or get paid well (10M+) for any departures.

If I'm honest, there's not one player over 21 who could leave that would bother me other than Burn.

 

I would add Stockdale to the list of over 21's that would really bother me to lose.

 

I think Stockdale is a dime a dozen. That's not to say he isn't good, just that there are a lot of keepers on his level, so he should be easily replaced. I'd rather keep the one we have, sure. Unless we got more money than it would cost to get in another.

 

I have to agree with this. Granted our back line didn't help him, but how many goals did we give up on set plays? He's average without really lighting it up. I think he would be easily replaced as well...

Cheers,

Can't argue his heart and desire. And, I agree he is great with the fans, but he just gets beat too often. Take a look at the numbers. He was the worst keeper with at least 20 games in save percentage, minutes per goal conceded, and goals per 90 min. Our other keeper was not any better. Again, the back line was no help at all, but he still gets paid to stop the ball from going to the back of the net.

Well then you're just wrong!!!!

Just being silly...

 

Looks like Sids might be on his way out. I don't know why, but I thought we might be able to keep him. Best of luck to him.

What happened to Briggs? He had some promise right? He's 23.

I'd hate to see all new faces. I need some carry over from year to year.

 

Did I bet a beer on this one? :angry-banghead: If I did, yes, the beer is cold and frosty. Your place or mine? Either way, it's a long trip for a beer. I'm sure I'll be in DC over the next few years. When I do, one at Sine's... bscene-drinkingbuddies:

Hatter normally I would not post from the Mirror, but if they actually take the time to run everyone's numbers and there is no editorializing, then I'll take their stats. I am looking at this from just a numbers side. He just doesn't perform well. Maybe there was too much pressure and anyone would falter, but I'm not too sure.

But, I will take the advice on where I get my sources... :banana-guitar:

Cheers,

I think Don was referring to the Sidwell story Steve.
