It's all about subjective values.

He's an extremely capable utility player and a good asset to have, for that reason. The club has a certain valuation of him, I presume, which doesn't match his own or those closest to him. It doesn't mean either is wrong, as the Wakey value is affected by the ability to pay, whereas other clubs may have more room on the cap or the till to offer him what he feels is his market value.

His market value might be worth more than what we were prepared to pay, if there was to be a discussion, and Cas might pay it. Good luck to Rocky. I'd have been happy for him to remain at Wakey, provided it didn't affect the ability to pay for quality in the whole team.

I think some rate higher than any employer ever has done, but he's certainly good enough to be re-signed, subject to price. He isn't, however, the next Topliss, and never was.

I don't think he's the new Toppo (or I 99.999% doubt it) or even the new Miller/Lino/Gaskell but I'd be delighted if he proved me wrong and he still has the time left, who knows.

What I do know is he no longer plays for us and there will be a good reason for that, though I'm not going to speculate on what. I mean do people really think the club lets players go who they think can do the job they want doing, especially those NOBODY else was the least bit interested in? Poaching has put together a squad that he thinks is right for his methods, why anyone feels the need to complain baffles me. He will make mistakes and has done already but overall he's seemed pretty competent to me so far.

I support only players in the RWB, when they go elsewhere they are not my concern.

Finally, as MC continually points out, we stopped being a selling club years ago and in that time not one single player has come back to bite our bums and even if they did, so what, all clubs let players go who do well elsewhere, our team is full of them.

Rocky is far better than Gaskell is now 5 year ago would have agreed with you .When you going to say Chester as had a habit of buying players past there sale buy date or 80% of them .

No, he isn't. He's a fitter more versatile player perhaps but he'll never run a game.

Really, like who?

Gaskell has chronic injuries to two of the three hamstring muscles, can’t be fixed only nursed along but he’ll suffer trouble with it throughout. We knew this, Huddersfield were very candid about it, but we signed him anyway and crossed our fingers that he’d play enough to justify it.
Hopefully he will as when he strings a few games together he’s very good.

So aftet telling me to move on ! 5 pages and 12 replies later you still babbling on ! Its your point of view theres enough posters on here who dont agree ckplus Andy Last who knows what Roy is capable of, Stop being so bitter and twisted you really do need to get a life.

Yeah wishing him all the best is really bitter and twisted. Try reading the posts before talking garbage.

Shoulder injury this time I think?

What can I say but I bow to your all encompassing knowledge. I am just not worthy to be on the same forum as you, those years in the HGV were not all wasted.
You are correct always time for a sarcastic comment especially when it involves you.

He's good when he plays. But he will not play anywhere near enough. I might as well be in the squad

MC said we are not a selling club now, well that's perfectly true we just release a local young player who never let the club down and replaced him with an older version.

Not only that we then have to loan a full back adding more expense, Great bit of business.

Looks like our Cas expert was right. Cas have announced Hampshire contract for rest of year.

Not an expert really! Theres people who say they have contacts
And there theres people have contacts

It's fulfilling to know you appreciate it especially as you seem obsessed with my career as an HGV driver, as for sarcastic comments in most cases I've found them a poor substitute for a lack of knowledge.
