Just a little bit of amateurish psychology...
Gary's celebration and reaction to the goal at Torquay... The celebration of a man who could've just scored his last goal for the club??? There was certainly a great deal of emotion in it. Just a thought.
I have to agree with both viewpoints to a certain extent. Yes, selling (or loaning with a view to sell) the best players in the side does exhibit a lack of ambition and a desire for cash, but that's what the lower echelons of the Football League are about. You can't really stand in Gary's way. He has a massive opportunity to further his career, and long term it will prove to be benificial to all parties concerned.
Gary Roberts is a great footballer, a top bloke, but by no means irreplaceable. Yes, in the short term he will be sorely missed, but the club, as always, will move on and find new heroes and new goalscorers. Selling one player doesn't mean that the club is deciding that it is willing to consolidate. Anybody who knows John, Jimmy or Eric even slightly will know that they are some of the most ambitious people in football.
Don't press the panic button yet. If any more players are sold, THEN it is time to worry. Best of luck to Gary, and don't forget, technically this is a loan. HE MAY BE BACK
