Bobbys tweet is all well and good, I don't think anyone is blaming Stephens for wanting to maximise his earnings by moving to a PL club, I'm certainly not. But there are ways of going about it. As a professional, he should be capable of staying focussed, keeping his head down and carrying on...

I think that would have been the STANDARD thing. But apparently the fact that he honestly couldn't give a shit is REFRESHING

Yup. It shows that we're a club that will not let players and agents call the shots, but will do whats in the best interests of BHAFC. I think overall the club has come out of this pretty well. I am concerned at Stephens attitude though. Up until the transfer request, and then that tweet, I was...

One thing this last year or so has proved is that BHAFC are certainly no pushover in the transfer market any more. Multiple bids for Dunk, Knockaert and Stephens all swatted away. Its a message to other clubs that if you're interested in our prize assets, you'd better be prepared to pay through...

It means he bins any loyalty bonus he would've been due. When it became apparent that Burnley were playing at silly buggers and TB wasn't going to cave, Dale, in his desperation to move, played the only card he had, which was a 9 and a 2. Tony had a full house.

Of course. But when the player/agent knows that the club is getting his services for nothing, ie no transfer fee involved, then it puts them in a very strong bargaining position to milk them. Which the club will be prepared to accept, because they know that they are acquiring a valuable (and...

Not much chance of that. A free transfer is a lucrative thing indeed for a footballer IF he is in demand. As a free agent he'd naturally attract plenty of interest next summer, and some of the cash that his new club would have expected to put towards a transfer fee, can instead be diverted...

Hull would be a strange move for Dale, being as Mike Phelan is only in temporary charge and the club is in the throws of a takeover by a Chinese consortium (aren't they all ?). You can be pretty sure Phelan won't be in charge for much longer, so where does that leave Stephens if the new manager...

In 9 months time he can cash in on a free transfer somewhere. I don't think its unreasonable for him to play out the final season of his contract here and help us try to reach the PL. He's 26, if he maintains his performances he'll easily get a lucrative move to a PL club next summer, he might...

If that is true, then Stephens is a grasping prick. I appreciate players will always want to better themselves and play in the PL if there is the opportunity, but there are ways and means of going about it, and handing in a transfer request a few hours before the window closes is a shitarsed...

Whatever appears in the Argus will not make a BLIND bit of difference as to whether a player stays or goes. Complete irrelevance.

This absolutely stinks of Bridcutt. Not a direct "downing of tools" but this nauseating notion of "my heads not in the right place boss" resulting in him being excluded from the squad again just macks me RIGHT off. Then we're fed some shit about him running around cones in Lancing on a crucial...
