If the players want to leave then fair enough, let them talk to the temporary manager at Tannadump and see what he offers, but only after DUFC have privately tabled bids that ICT have accepted. We have said it time and time again. NO-ONE is bigger than this club and all this bull5hit is doing no-one any good.
PROCTOR: It wouldnt surprise me if he wanted to go as he knows he is not a first team regular and is mainly there as cover for Tokely and potentially for Wilson. He has played well when selected and would eventually hold down a starting spot but I would understand it if he had a desire to move for first team football. With Caff and Parratt we have cover for defensive positions.
BLACK: Cant understand this one. We all know he wont spend his career at ICT and he will eventually move to a bigger club. Charlie has even said as much. Cant help feeling that if he decides to go to DUFC he is selling himself short in the interests of getting a higher wage earlier in his career when he could legitimately spend another season or two with us and move to a far bigger club than United (and make even more money). However, we have Rankin, Keogh, Duncan, Hart and Fox who will all be happy to take his midfield spot. If he wants to go, then show him the door.
DODS: Again, if he wants to go, this would be harder to understand than Proctor. He had a reputation for defensive blunders at his other clubs until he came to ICT where he has fitted into our system magnificently. Deservedly won many awards and became a fans favourite. It has been said that he is good pals with Brewster and that he has family ties further south that might drive his desire but I would be sad to see him go. However, given a little time to settle back into the first team, I think that Caff is probably a more 'classy' defender who could easily replace him.
