Gary Roberts update

being a footballer is a job... if you get offered more money elsewhere then your a fool not to look..

your putting a lot of store by what eric has said... yet eric also said he would prefer him to sit his last year out on the bench... i think 99% of people know that statement is not true as he would then leave and the club get nothing.... so do you also believe eric when he saus that or are you being selective? :)

Well when your linked with another club and go to meet agents etc. it sort of leads the fans down the path of "i want to leave"

woah! Don't take the hump with Gazza!!
Surely we should be angry at the agent who has alledgedly turned his head & illegally showed him insane figures of cash he could be earning.
We should also applaud the integrity of Eric when shooting down nasty speculation which disrupts our players.
 
But i have always thought when you sign for a club and play for them for a season and you get love from the fans, there has to be a little thing called LOYALTY
Yet again, not questioning it, but i belive that is what football today lacks at every club in the country, from Unibond to the Premiership, there is always some "big fish" to pry away a talented home-grown youngster with the promise of big bucks weekly and a celebrity lifestyle with a big house, and its getting pathetic, just like the money in our game today (which clubs like lower league teams never see)

Well of course some people are going to 'rally behind Eric' so to speak - but we know all too well from past experience how some Football journalists love to paraphrase & twist the words of the people who could influence a big transfer.
We also know how passionate Eric Whalley is about this football club.

All I'm saying is people shouldn't be so quick to shoot down our own without proof of dissent towards the club.
 
Agree with ya Shaker, no one can question Eric's dedication towards the club, and who can blame someone for quoting him ?
 
Its wound in Kipax, dont you worry
Im making a point about Erics love and comitment to the club, not having a pop at the bloke :)
 
I don't suppose people can be blamed for quoting him; but it is risky to trust a quote - you don't understand the context in which Eric made his comments.
I know I wouldn't have been able to hold my language aswell as Eric did if I was in his shoes when Yeovil/agents acted the way they did.

IMO we shouldn't trust/rely on the hearsay; it only sparks trouble.

Sparkie talked to Gary not long ago & reported that he is in high spirits, albeit a little wary about Doherty signing.
Now if you want to read between the lines; the only thing you can draw from that is that Gary is hungrier than ever to play good football for ASFC.

I would rely on that information more than the rumour mill on here...
 
I think the Doherty signing could only be good for Gary, give him someone to test himself again, because lets face it, last season his place was nearly gauranteed every week
I think both will be used in variation all season, and i cant say i blame Coley, he has 2 top quality players there !!!
For some reason, that last comment just made me more excited and looking foward to tommorow/next season's football
