McCormack

Sigh, indeed.

Not good if true. Not only does he provide the obvious goals, but he's the biggest factor in creating our cutting edge in the final 3rd. Hopefully we can hang onto him someway, somehow.

 

The "is a professional and has a family" is the most telling phrase to me. That fits, what, 90% of the 29 year olds playing professional soccer, right? So if you read between the lines, something's definitely up.

 

As a 29 year old in his prime, of course Ross would want to jump to a team that's in one of the automatic promotion spots. I've been impressed with the quotes coming from Joka, Come Feb. 1 and Ross is still here he's going to play hard for this guy. Just can't see Boro putting in an offer we can't refuse.

McCormack will get what he wants and Dembele to Spurs of all places - I guess it's an "easy" move. Let's seeeeee how it plays out, but I'm not keeping my hopes up.

Reading any article from over there needs to be taken with a grain of salt.

 

Wanting out and letting him go are two different things. Can't blame him for putting in the request, but Ross is a professional enough to realize that we aren't in the position because of the embargo to replace him.

 

I share your feelings and agree with everything you said Heather. I just can't imagine going the rest of the way with only Cauley & Smith this season. If we do, and we are left scrambling to loan an out of favor forward from somewhere else the battle to stay in this division will be very real or much more real than any of us have been willing to express.

 

Ruh roh Raggy...

 

Hope you're right. But there's an old saying: Money doesn't talk. It screams.

 

Yay!
