If JK goes to AFCB ahead of Hudders it suggests two things:
He is unambitious and frankly a mug.
He would be playing for a club half the size of the alternative and presumably earning less money when more money goes further up north...
A complete DURR kind of career choice from where i`m sitting
Good luck to JK wherever he goes. He did a good job for us but he needs serious career advice IMHO

In a strange way I am not unhappy, decent player he is but I don't think we should be "breaking the bank" to keep any player in our situation. We did that last year for the two full backs and Heywood and it seemed to backfire on us big time.
He is an enigmatic sort of player, capable of having a great season or just as easily a poor one I would guess.

Are you walking to Bournemouth and driving to Huddersfield :scratch:
I've never done Huddersfield in less than three hours by car, the winding Yorkshire roads off the M1 and the motorway itself are a nightmare a lot of the time.
Blimey WEB, how do you get there?? Last time we played them when we won 2-0 :sad: - took 2hrs 45 going (M1 crawled along in the slowest lanes through Luton - then the country roads ) coming back jumped straight on M62 to junction 42 M1, then 2hrs and 8 mins
Bournemouth last time took us 2 and a half hours, crawled along past Fleet and then the M3/M27 turnoff took us half hour
Depends where you live in London though doesn't it!

Just as well you are not on the board then IMO....
Nobody is 'nailed on' to score a hatfull of goals, let alone, a club buying him....... he could have a career threatening injury in a pre-season friendly. Then what would you do then, if you were on the board?
Surely if we're not showing the commitment to the good players they're going to keep leaving us for clubs who do?
Jo won't be a flop as he is a too good player, imagine him in a team that plays better then last season.
If you're scared of signing players on a 3 year contract because they might get a career threatening injury then why be in football?
I'd happily give Jo a 3 year contract, knowing he was in the team alone would make me buy a season ticket, he's a great player to watch.

He could have been given a 2/3 year deal so if he is/was successful it would have a clause that if another club comes in for him and they meet a certain reasonable transfer value he would be released from it.
Many players I would have thought have this type of deal written in.
After all we gave Mr Brooker a 3 year one.......didn't we

Or put another way, and slightly off topic, but the club showed KOC & Frampton the sort of commitment you are asking, and look what happened to their form after that?
I am not saying that Jo would be a flop, as it happens he is an exciting player. I am trying to say that it is not a guarentee that he will score goals as he may receive a long term injury before he kicks a ball in the league!!!
I just dont want the club to be giving such long contracts to players, the most I would give is two year plus club option (as per Ide). The best option for me, is a year contract with a club option, as this is in the best interest of the club - not the player. Another reason for not giving a three year contract, is that the manager has only got a two year contract I seem to recall - why on earth give a player a contract longer than his??
Plus Brooker was given a three year deal and look what happened to him...

I agree with what you're saying.
But I'd be most annoyed if the reason Jo didn't stay was because we didn't offer him the 3 year deal he wanted. All speculation I know
Jo would be worth a gamble for me. Plus if he had a storming season in league 2 we'd still have him for 2 years....show us the money if you want him ££££££££££££

Kuffour to Bournemouth??
Anyone else heard any rumours about Kuffour maybe going to Bournemouth? Or is he being linked to every club above us at the moment?

I met a mate of mine today who supports Bournemouth and he was confident that Jo Kuffour was going to sign for them.

...............have you got a mate who supports Wycombe who can confirm the same about Heywood, and would I be asking too much if you've got a Brighton-supporting mate who could also confirm the same about Brooker......?

If he's been offered a deal which would make him our best-paid player - which TB has apparently said - then it's not such a bad offer (unless TB has secretly got rid of the high earners and Charlie is the highest earner other than JK). I think that would be more than most Lge 2 and some Lge 1 could offer.
However, it's clear that he doesn't really want to stay (understandable perhaps in career terms), so if he's going, the sooner he goes the better as we'll have a better idea of available money and the players we need

I wouldn't mind if our best player left to join a 'big club'. I could handle that!
But Orient & Bournemouth...? :sad:

My guess is that we have offered him good Div 1 wages to stay, neither Bournemouth or Orient are big payers so maybe the choice is not so clear for him.
Anyway what happened to all the nod, nod, wink wink brigade on here who told us months ago he had already agreed to go to a Championship club?? Load of b****cks that all was....

That might say more about Jo than it says about us perhaps.

I'm sure when we signed Jo he had told Torquay he would sign a new deal with them when he was on holdiay when he got back he signed for us

tbh if he's going to go, he should just p!ss off now and be done with it. It's not doing us any favours having to wait and see if he can get a better offer elsewhere.. We need to have some semblance of a squad together for pre-season training and that's looking less and less likely at the moment..

thats right and T B needs to know how much money he has to play with so if your going tell us Joe.
I am not bothered either way as I think he looked good in a crap team.
