Rumours are saying he is getting let go for 3 million so we will see if he gets soldIs it over 3m or over 4m??? Please clarify.
The 3/4 mill will be invested in players at some point, keep him a year and no investment for players.Why on earth would anyone want to cash in when there is very little chance of us being able to spend the money or improve on Bowler
Wednesday night?Will he be played tomorrow and risk being injured before the deadline ?
If he is in the team tomoz enjoy it, its probably the last time you will see him in a tangerine shirt unfortunately
I imagine he will definitely be left out on wednesday night, we shall seeWednesday night?
Agree, I'd like to think we can keep hold of our best players but there are many of variables that can prevent this. Bowlers future is in known if he leaves but more certain if he stays and helps the pool to the prem which I think I think is possibleIf he isn't going to sign a new contract then unfortunately we might have to cash in whilst we still can. I wouldn't even entertain anything below £4m though.
One thing's for sure. I'll be very sad to see him go. A tremendous talent.
So you are saying if Bowler was to stay we wouldn't have any investment in playersThe 3/4 mill will be invested in players at some point, keep him a year and no investment for players.
In terms of transfer fees the 1.5 from Critch will be spent regardless but not much more if JB stays.So you are saying if Bowler was to stay we wouldn't have any investment in players
You can make a decent soup with vegetables though. And a stock cube. Is Josh also a stock cube?Here's the thing. Lots of you slate players and were banging on about player x, y and z being not good enough. Now you want to flog Bowler. That's madness.
We have got lots of 'good, honest pro' types. That's fine. You need them. They are like the vegetables in a curry..
Bowler is the herbs or the spice that makes the curry what it is.
Without him, the carrots and potatoes taste of nothing.
He was our most important player last year, he's our most important player this year and perhaps even more so as our new style relies more on technical aptitude than our old style did.
I'm the first to defend the likes of Husband, Dougall etc. You need the potatoes to make the curry. You certainly can't make a curry purely out of spice but without the spice, it's just a bland pile of vegetables.
He's whatever you want to fit the analogy of your choice. He's the fuse in the appliance, the filament in the lightbulb, the battery in the watch or whatever...You can make a decent soup with vegetables though. And a stock cube. Is Josh also a stock cube?
Where does this leave Gaz? Is he a massive potato? Or some diced chicken? Or something else?He's whatever you want to fit the analogy of your choice. He's the fuse in the appliance, the filament in the lightbulb, the battery in the watch or whatever...
He's a big naan bread or a samosa. He's not (this year) a necessary aspect of the curry, but you wouldn't not want it to be available.Where does this leave Gaz? Is he a massive potato? Or some diced chicken? Or something else?
I'm almost convinced.He's a big naan bread or a samosa. He's not (this year) a necessary aspect of the curry, but you wouldn't not want it to be available.
He's got to play tomorrow. I am baffled as to how the fuck we'll look any different to Burnley first half against a team bang in form of he doesn't.I'm almost convinced.
Would you start Gaz and leave Shayne out, or bring Gaz on after an hour? I've been debating it with myself.He's got to play tomorrow. I am baffled as to how the fuck we'll look any different to Burnley first half against a team bang in form of he doesn't.
I would otherwise say the boy is the most super of super subs if everyone is fit.
I'd play 2 up front or I'd play Jerry withdrawn between midfield and Gaz though I'm sceptical about that. It's just cos Jerry is about the only player with a bit of touch and vision fit, so if he insists on 433 (or 4231) then who the fuck else plays there?Would you start Gaz and leave Shayne out, or bring Gaz on after an hour?

Would that be a Rogan Josh then?Here's the thing. Lots of you slate players and were banging on about player x, y and z being not good enough. Now you want to flog Bowler. That's madness.

Would this make Kevin Stewart the poppadoms? One of the best parts and a lot to offer, but he's just so fragile and breaks so easily....He's a big naan bread or a samosa. He's not (this year) a necessary aspect of the curry, but you wouldn't not want it to be available.
I thought both Shayne and Theo were a bit lacking last week. Poor even. It was like 9 men. So I'd bring Gaz in and leave one of them out. In fact I might leave both out. I actually think CJ might offer more than those two have done so far.I'd play 2 up front or I'd play Jerry withdrawn between midfield and Gaz though I'm sceptical about that.

There's no one who can play that 10 role. Corbeaneu maybe able to press and run but his touch is CJ-esque. Virtue can't play it in a month of sundays. Bowler maybe could but you lose Bowler wide and thus it weakens us chronically. Them you're at Rob Apter in terms of who is available and he didn't get a game Vs Barrow, so he ain't playing tomorrow.
Shayne stays wide left.
Or, keep him and get promoted and then see players wanting to come to us. Of course there's no guarantee but it's one o' them Chiz.The 3/4 mill will be invested in players at some point, keep him a year and no investment for players.
Apter *might* make the bench.I thought both Shayne and Theo were a bit lacking last week. Poor even. It was like 9 men. So I'd bring Gaz in and leave one of them out. In fact I might leave both out. I actually think CJ might offer more than those two have done so far.
I might be in a minority here! CJ is incredibly hit and miss and a lot miss but he has good moments. Apart from his tap in Lavs did nowt last week really. Lots of running I suppose. Similar with Corbs. I wasn't there though so I'd listen to people who went and were reasonably sober.
There's always Virtue too I guess! Could he do a job? And Apter, as you say. It's a clear opportunity to take a gamble and see what he can do in a position he is suited to.
one man will never be bigger than the mighty poolIf Bowler goes, we go (to league 1), keep him at all costs
