Bristol Boy Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 That if he doesn't sign a new contract soon, we MUST take the £200k.Let's be honest, we'd have bitten their arm off, after he was listed last year.That cash, along with some of the LL & all of the Heff money, will buy the 3/4 players we now need........and very likely better ones than we could have afforded a week ago!What we don't want is DC to disappear a week or so before the season starts, without a replacement.As clubs are "stealing," our best talent, it's time for us to pass that on if we fancy a player at our level or at a higher club that's struggling financially.Just a case of Kill or be Killed, I'm afraid.Sad, but true.

As things stand we will have half a first team trying to settle in - too many new faces at once isn't a good thing , we need to keep at least some of the nucleus of last season intact ?

bcfcchris2016 Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 agree, if Tinnion wants to sell Danny Coles. It must be now or we will be mugged by Preston again for Peanuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 I'd rather take the risk of Coles walking for nothing at the end of the season. We're talking about alot less money than Leroy and I think he's much likelier to stay.Nibor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardie Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 We MUST NOT sell danny coles this season, if we do, we're screwed. Get this new contract sorted out now city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 My only fear that if DC is sold that we won't see a replacement come in - unless its a free signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bransonmo Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 200-250K for Coles.......Why ? He was made available half way through last season, his good games are few, and he is less valuable than Heffs or Hill. IMO he is a legend in his own lunchtime, and just average for the division we are in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
