sparkyboy72 Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Looks like our games agains crewe could be interesting, with us beating them to Mcombe and now Fontaine by the looks of it.http://www.crewe.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=21190 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antman Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 That's classic it's not classic, it's a sad indictment of the way agents muddy the waters.GJ's comments about 'negotiating with Fulham although not talking to them' makes sense.Fontaine should think long and hard about his agent.It makes it as likely that his agent will play us off against Crewe when it comes to personal terms too.It's not a given that we'll get him.

If we have to accept the rules are there, then those at the club have a responsibility to play them as far as possible to the advantage of BCFC rather than any other club, player or agent.Finally, we seem to be playing hardball.

Bristol Boy Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 I actually feel more confident now because if Crewe can afford him, so can we and with the previous connection with GJ & City, I'm quite hopefull........wonder if they want Partridge It makes it as likely that his agent will play us off against Crewe when it comes to personal terms too.We've agreed termsIt's not a given that we'll get him.Agreed but I think we will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheshire_red Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 We already know Fontaine is a good player, it won't have been lost on Dario either.I'd still prefer a goalscroer and left winger now we have McCombe. All three would be great but for some strange reason GJ isn't proactively seeking a left winger / midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 I would hope that we are in a better position than Crewe, if we fail to get this player then I'd wonder why. Fontaine enjoyed a good run in a side playing promotion form football. He knows the players, manager and set up at the club.Crewe would be a step into the unknown for him, also they maybe a bit 'flat' following relegation.Yes, it's good we are now 'playing the game', we've taken so long to catch up and we've missed out a few times too many times.What's the change in Agents rules mentioned? Fontaine has to pay his agent rather than the clubs involved? when did this happen? This has got to be a good thing hasn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan_is_a_legend Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Could this mean Heywoods spell at City could Come to an End?????i think, and this is my opinion, that we could well see a back 4 of carey, fontaine, mccombe, woodman next season.this would mean either orr or heywood on the bench, with the other one leaving. my money would be on heywood leaving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibor Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 I think that article's a bit of silly sour grapes. Sounds like we'd already agreed terms with Liam, Crewe tried to nick him and failed, and we're just arguing with Fulham about compo. What they're whining about I have no idea.
