Whilst he sounds exactly the kind of defender we need, let's just hope that he doesn't prove the perceived "gap" between English lower league and Dutch lower league to be correct.
Surely if you could see the potential in Jones you can see the potential in Lancashire? He has a good build for a young lad, yes the timing of some of his tackles are off and he misjudges the bounce of the ball occasionally but that comes with experience. I'm pretty sure that after a year of playing in the first team he will be a good CCC player.
Don't understand why we keep sending players to them, Bournemouth fans are never grateful and always try to make out there is a rivalry between us and them.
Seems odd to me. We lost one striker (Paterson) and we got one back (Saga), so why are we suddenly short? Unless of course Saga is going again, like Dyer.
Blackstock was sold for £250k, the same as BWP, but with a massive sell on fee.
Burley did NOT want to sell him, this has been stated by him, Blackstock, Lundekvam and Leon Crouch.
Well Strachan obviously rated McDonald because he is having a love-in with him at Celtic, and Blackstock said himself that he requested a transfer to be guaranteed first team football. Burley said he didn't want him to leave but wouldn't stand in the way of the player.
