Dan Jones is / was a bit mad. When we were good our goals mostly seemed to involve Tendayi rather than him precisely because as Dancing points out his crosses would have suited a traditional centre forward and we often had Eoin Doyle. But yes he is one of only a few of our players who will easily find a new club and if a team with a Matty Smith style centre forward signed him he could be a big hit in the very division for which we are now not good enough.
Yes I'm sure Ricky German is going. The same secrecy and lack of game time surrounds him as Ched. Could he be going to the same place? (If we do get rid of him at this stage it will prove that not only is our manager an idiot, but also that he is part of a club which has no interest in the future.)
BUT we are already telling everyone we're going nowhere aren't we? If you were negotiating a deal for Ched Evans with Sheffield United wouldn't you think that they must have several players who will become surplus to requirements in the Championship, who would do very well in Division Two? If you were serious about our future wouldn't you be saying something like "Okay £500,000 gets you Ched and we hope you're offering O'Shea a contract too .......... we like the look of .......... and ...................... who won't even make your bench?" I would!
There's no future in the deal we're making because we have no future and the money involved will never have even the most tenuous connection with re-building the team. Vanarama and Evo-Stick here we come!
