Douggy B 0 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 ha ha. Become? Sad reality is, if the top four want one of your players, then they will have them. No one is exempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it isn't because if you have players who want to play for your team then your logic is flawed. E.g Martins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Tbf I reckon if Arsenal had genuinely been interested Martins would have been off like a shot. And that's not saying anything against the lad as he seems like a genuine kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douggy B 0 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Brilliant. If any of the top four had been serious about signing these players they would have got them.

Guest alex Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 A player like Spear might have thought it was too early in his career to go to a club in the top 4. If he's a regular for us in 3 years time and we're mid-table and a top 4 side comes knocking he'll probably be away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Attain I'll give you shearer but he is the exeption that proves the rule. Apparently Zokora snubbed Arsenal for us. Do I believe that for a second? No? We offered more money for the player than they did, end of story. If there was interest from Arsenal, they obviously didnt match your bid. You can romantisise all you like but Plymouth will sell to the highest bidder and to be honest if you are there the bright lights of any prem club seem like a step up.
