With Zeb the manager offered him a new deal along with a resettlement package to try and keep him at the club and he still wanted to go, so the board/manager have done everything in their power to keep him, short of locking him up in the store room.Fonda wrote: In terms of player valuations, it's true any club is up against it when a player expresses a desire to leave, but where do you draw the line? If Buckle offerred us a £1000 and some new match-balls for Robbo, would people argue we should accept it because 'the player will be no use to us as he wants to go'...?
Your example about Robbo is extreme to say the least, but did we not take a defender from a non league club about 15 years ago in exchange for a bag of match balls, forgot his name now, not sure he was worth the balls either!
