The problem with this incident is that it once more makes us look amateurish.
We have a load of young talent contracted till 2008/2009 .. the likes of Carney and Zillman come to mind.
If we dont start getting results, or at least look like we are heading in that direction, these players are going to look for greener pastures and it wont take much more than a whisper in one's ear from a Gus Gould and they'll be gone in a flash.
Hence we need some 'high profile' signings ... not just for their football talents but also to give the club back some credibility in terms of player gains and retention.
As I've said before, we are now identified by players/managers as a footballing backwater and it will need a sudden infusion of viagra to get that reputation of our backs.
