Spot on Pete and confirms what Gary Doyle told me. This was done last wk.
Sorry but who is Gary Doyle ?
Under Les Ferdinand:
Luke Freeman, top assists in the league: 4million
Alex Smithies, great goalie for this club: 3,5million
Charlie Austin, 19 Premier League goals: 4million
Jack Robinson: Contract ran out, left for free
And many more mistakes
We lost out with walters because he was adament on moving back up north for family reasons. Graham has settled in London and will be an R's next season, fact!
I see where you're going there, but I can't see him being as prolific as Bent.
Bent is prolific because he is 1, very good and 2, is one of the only strikers who plays on the shoulder of the last defender. Watch his goals and if he was 5 yards back on many of them, he would not have scored them. He uses his strength and pace to beat the nasty CB in a 10 yard sprint and if we play Graham the same way and happy days IMO.
In all fairness, we did not pay up front for Walters, thats why we lost out.
Pete, thee are more reasons than that. He was from that way and wanted to go, plus they were Prem and we were not.
It wasn't just on your basis.
Edit: To add...From what I believe to be true, he was at LR discussing a deal when Stoke came in for him (or at least close to the time he was meant to be/finished discussing)
A guy that I speak too. Kit manager and a very nice bloke.
I never give the ITK but my information is fact unlike most.
Thanks ( I thought I knew the name too, seen it in the match program )
