Stoke_Gifford_Red Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Why is everyone getting annoyed that Leroy is leaving. We have to cash in now, unless he could leave for a lot less, or even nothing in a few months time.Also why are we suddenly not going to get promotion, just because one player has left. There was a big debate over which one of Brooker/Lita/Stewart would be played, and now it is easier to decide, and the two remaining strikers we have are argubly the best in the division. Also it has been said that Brooker plays better WITHOUT Lita, as has been shown by the last game of the season (against Sheffield Wednesday).

bcfcchris2016 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Stewart/Brooker/Gillespie. Simply Bulls-hit. We need 4 Strikers and Cotterill is not one because i only want him as a winger nothing else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lita failed to knock in anything like 29 goals next season we would have struggled to get £250K for him (he would have had two players marking him next season every week, Home and Away) - remember Danny Coles anyone? Cardiff and £500K. Clayton Fortune? Preston and £400K. We simply had to sell Lita while his value was at a decent level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCAGFC Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 I agree it may be common sense to sell LL but there is NO WAY we have got a good deal out of it as Reading have LITLE or NO money and until they sell someone they are not going to have the £500k plus upfront fee we SHOULD have been looking for.BCAGFCP.s.

If Lita has said that he wants out then what can you do about it? Keep yet another disenchanted player and have Tommy Doherty scene 2 on your hands.We are a third division club and are in a catch 22 situation. Until we get promoted we will not be able to keep our best young players yet we need these players to help us get promoted. Good players do not hang around for long in the third division - that is a fact and there ain't a fat lot we can do about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest redjet Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Before I start I am a Swindon fan and before you say F26ck off I am not here to gloat. In fact I have an awful lot of sympathy as a football fan. I hate to see the top talent just being sucked out of our division and of course the situation is very similar to the Parkin thing here which was awful for us Town fans , admitily he was on top form for three years so I guess he owes us nothing but all this undisclosed figure stuff just makes you think we either got ripped of the the buying club or the board are fattening their pockets somewhere. Anyway I take 1 consolation from losing Parkin and that is that he deserves it and you cannot deny someone success if they've worked for it,so maybe you will have to do the same thing, just say thanks for the good stuff when you were here, and, there are a lot of good strikers out there that with the right manager can be very good.

Here goes first post....Granted, we're not the richest of clubs and in the current footballing financial climate we need all the cash we can get, BUT- nobody can deny that our chances of promotion are greatly enhanced with Leroy onboard. Surely, promotion is worth far far more to us than whatever we've gotten for him now. OK, we could go up and he could still choose to leave having not signed a new contract - we'd get something for him (he's under 24). It wouldn't be as much but given that we'd have achieved promotion, who cares? Alright, we still have Stewart/Brooker. Great players, but both lacking the real pace and drive that Leroy gave us upfront. We seriously need that when teams come to the gate and stick 11 behind the ball. Gillespie has potential but is clearly along way from the finished article (he was solid, but unspectacular at Cheltenham last season). Cotteril is an unknown quantity as a striker- no first team experience in that position. How will we buy anyone else now that everyone thinks we've got masses of cash in the bank? Why did we sell Heff?!Unless privately Leroy has demanded a move (and there's no evidence of that), I can't look at this as anything other than a lack of ambition from Lansdown and co. Keeping Leroy was not a huge gamble. Expecting promotion without him, is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waffleflap Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 we got him for nothing so it is good business.We will go up next season with the strikers we've got.I think Boyd would be a good signing if we go for another sriker but in all honesty a left winger and a centre half are top priority.

xerox6060 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Leroy must have indicated he wanted to test the water with other clubs, therefore City's hand was forced I don't blame the club if there's any doubt he won't sign another contract we have to cash in.I'm a little disappointed in Leroy I think he owes us and especially Tinns a little more, thought he'd sign a new contract with a get out clause and keep both parties happy.

Rednready Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Leroy does not owe bcfc or the fans anything more than tha job he was paid to do. He has decided he wants to improve himself at a higher level, he has to go for it while he has his youth and peak ability. Bcfc have Stewart , Brooker, Gillespie, and Cotterill to do the job, and whilst not the same as individuals to Lita, i think the combinations may well prove better.
