Magnay

Quoted from KingstonMariner

Page 312 was in the glory days of the Second/new First Division. Sigh.

Took bloody ages for those pages to scroll round. But still cheaper than ringing Clubcall.

I remember getting a right boll0cking for using club call. Well, I think it was club call anyway!  

Quoted from promotion plaice

I agree how important Magnay would be next season but this thread is becoming tiresome, and for all them licking his derrier you will soon change your opinion if he leaves, it's time for an answer, yes it's time.

Time for an answer? Sweet Jesus the guy aint even had time to take a post Wembley $hit yet! If I was him I'd be off on my jollies 1st. Sure, Hurst can set him a deadline to decide, he goes off feeling wanted and has time to think things through with a clear head. He will do a Pearson and see that the grass may not be greener and he's onto a good thing. Patience is a virtue!

Seems easy just to say here you are Carl money for your travel costs, but we need to remember team spirit is key and I am sure other players travel at their own cost so could upset the apple cart. Not worth upsetting the team to satisfy him. If he is not happy with the offer then I thank him and wish him well wherever he ends up. He is not bigger than the team.

After listening to Paul's interview on Friday I'm quietly confident both Carl and Toto will re-sign!

I am too.

I think Carl may regret discussing things in public as it's rubbed a few people up the wrong way but I don't think what he's actually asked for is a problem. The club can say yes, no, meet you half way, or whatever. I think (well, hope) that he'll sign up soon and he will be the fans favourite again.

He says length of contract is an issue so I assume he's looking for two years. I've been critical of the clubs policy of allowing key players contracts to expire but to be fair, would a relatively long term deal be a danger in this case? I worry about Carl's knee. He suffered an ACL injury a few years ago and had to be nursed through games last season, he couldn't play two games in a week and I think towards the end of the season his form dropped a little bit. Is there a problem with his knee?

I think you need to check his stats before saying he could not play 2 games in a week!  but then again he did miss a couple of games around New Year.

You had to be careful with those 0898 numbers. One wrong digit and instead of finding out about Alan and the boys you got Busty Barbara from Bromley and it's amazing how long it took her to find the Town score. That was my excuse and I'm sticking to it.  

Quoted from SamTheMariner

I'm not sure that Magnay is as key as everyone thinks he is. Sure, he's a great full back at this level, but full back is not the most important area on the pitch. I think McKeown, Pearson, the illusive goal scorer we must sign and Diz are more important to the side than Magnay.

Every position is important and all the components together make a team. The advantage Magnay has is that he can play either right or left back. As well as this flexibility it also means we possibly need one less back-up defender.

On another point I cannot understand some of the hypocrisy in this thread. The Board and JF have been constantly slated in the past for not running the club correctly as regards the finances. A lot don't like our dependence on JF being a " financial crutch " to ensure the clubs survival. He and the Board bring out a playing budget for the year - ie one that is affordable. Then, as soon as it seems that one player can't be accommodated within that structure then there are demands for JF to dig in his pockets or change the arrangement to suit that player. Now I want promotion just as much as the next supporter and I also don't want to lose one of our best players but how far do you go to achieve this ?
