Sluggishness isn't the word I'd use to describe CR to be fair - he covered a lot of ground most of the time. The issue was when he was in close proximity to the ball!
I very much doubt that John Askey decided to try and sign Courtney Richards as a result of the V9 enterprise.SenorDingDong wrote: ↑21 Jun 2017, 19:04 Jamie Vardy must be over the moon today, now that his scheme has managed to place Courtney Richards in the bright lights of Macclesfield! What a career move for him.
Firstly good luck to him. Secondly if Macclesfield is his move to his next level, then his agent must have got a nice little earner.MellowYellow wrote: ↑21 Jun 2017, 17:18 And here is Courtney talking about his move - sounds like he's not sure why he moved - admits to knowing nothing about his new club. So his reason for leaving Torquay was ? Courtney says to take him to the next level. No disrespect to the Silkmen, but honestly is that the best team Courtney could find to take him to the next level?

The Silkmen now have seven players - at least we have 10 - although they have signed a decent keeper. However, on paper I would not swap our players for theirs.
Mixed response from Silkmen fans to Courtney signing - "Been captain/regular in a rubbish side" " very average signing" "aren't mind-blowing signings... 2 captains (of course from worse teams)" "can you blame me for not being excited over signing a centre mid who Torquay fans are unsure on who continually avoids relegation by the skin of his teeth?" ----- "Captain at Torquay too- happy with this signing" "Courtney was a captain at 23 years old and so clearly has great leadership qualities" " Exactly the type of CM we were missing last season" .
Courtney served our club well and was an honest and hard working player, who maybe lacked the cutting edge in the skill/passing dept. Nonetheless I wish him well at his new club and hope he is given a warm welcome when he returns to Plainmoor next season.
Surely you wanted Sparkes to stay?lucy6lucy wrote: ↑21 Jun 2017, 20:49 Firstly good luck to him. Secondly if Macclesfield is his move to his next level, then his agent must have got a nice little earner.
I'm personally glad he's gone. The dead wood is gone, time for a fresh start. Not sure how Nicholson feels, but of his category A offered a new contract, the ones I wanted to stay have
It's the "next level" I don't get. Silkmen had a decent run last season 9th in league but their avg gate was still 30% worse than our's (and how bad were we). In the video he looks around their ground as if to say - what the f*@! am I doing here! I think it just being on the next level of living the life of football journeyman. I don't think you were the only one who was actually surprised he got a category A offer, I was even more surprised than he did not accept it and absolutely stunned to find a manager actually went out of his way to sign him. Football -its a funny old game!lucy6lucy wrote: ↑21 Jun 2017, 20:49 [/quote Firstly good luck to him.

Agree entirely. But what's the odds he will score against us next season.MellowYellow wrote: ↑21 Jun 2017, 22:27 It's the "next level" I don't get.

merse where does he live? If that move is for location purposes wtf has he been at torquay for the previous 3 seasonsOdds to score - forget it - I will give you a 1,000 to 1 that he does not manage to pass it to one of his own players in the 90 minutes.
I'll have a tenner at those odds....MellowYellow wrote: ↑21 Jun 2017, 23:14 Odds to score - forget it - I will give you a 1,000 to 1 that he does not manage to pass it to one of his own players in the 90 minutes.
