Aye but we've no inrention of signing him apparently. (thank fook)

well coyle has ruled himself out of signing tyrone mears.

At the BFC player of the year awards Chris Eagles and Tyrone Mears went round shaking hands with staff saying thanks but i wont be at the club next season.

Both wandered in last thursday with tails between their legs but have since both met with Laws and neither want to stay. However Eagles was at training this morning and stayed behind after to do extra shooting practice.

I know hes a bit of a puff but he trains very hard!

Eagles is also wanted by Everton i'm led to understand.

 

Caldwell has no club so OC is doing him a favour so he stays fit.

Would he be happy signing just to be on the bench.

Eh?

Not sure if you have played the game much diddles but no pro would be 'happy' to sit on the bench!

Im not sure who you are actually talking about though.

No he won't be happy, but I don't see him breaking into our 1st team, he's not better than what we have IMO. So if we sign him[he's talented for sure] I think he will on the bench along side our other bench warmers like Weiss was before Lee got a break.

I hope we sign him,lad alreet,(ex Munich i know)

that's not true

 

Bosko Balaban for starters

 

who was the one at Chelsea

 

Dutch

 

Winston Bogarde

 

that said, I don't recall if they made it to the bench

For the means of not being pedantic I will suggest that 'most' pro's would prefer not to sit on the bench.

Chris Eagles (if thats who were talking about) would be one of these based on how hard he works in training and general attitude.

 

Bogarde was a classic contradiction of this but i would expect also rare.

As for balaban, don't know who he is.

prob because he spent most of his 20k a week, 3 year Villa career on the bench, making just 2 starts

Good knowledge, wonder what he's doing now and if he went to the club with the intention of just sitting on the bench.

 

Im sure he was happy to collect his 20k per week under contract. Expect Villa got shut him soon after.

 

Anyway I would be very surprised if Chris Eagles was happy to do the same.

I dont think he has as much impact like Lee does either although very similar.

he was there about 3 seasons and in the end they told him to do one

 

as I recall Doug Ellis was questioning why players he didn't recognise were able to drive better cars than him

Good Lord, he looks smug

Smiffs to Ealges, first day of work......

 

'Before you put your boots on, get your fucking haircut you tart'.

rangers make an approach for eagles....thank fuck for that...

I thought Rangers were skint? I bet they've only offered ?500k at best. Burnley say 'substantial', but in Burnley, where 5 grand would get you a house, that's not saying much.

Eagles has turned Rangers down. They could not agree personal terms. I think Rangers would offer more a week than Bolton.

As they haven't enough money to offer their current players new deals i don't

If all these Burnley players where that good why is they ended up relegated?
