Any news on Crowley?

[LeftPeg_Pie]

He thinks he is too good for us, but remember, we signed him from Morecambe.

Aha, the DC conspiracy theory in its natural habitat.

There is some backrground to this though it may have been misconstrued and or exaggerated. Wasn't it a chat with a journalist who asked why he always held on to the ball so long and Crowley's reply was that players were never where he wanted them to be. At least I think I read that somewhere?

It was a comment made by the commentary team from Morecambe when we played them up there. Full of praise for his ability but critical of his opinion of himself (which has been a trend in his career).

As you said!

No doubt a fair few heard the Morecambe commentators comments about DC? Apparently one of them spoke to DC when he was there and asked why he kept turning and holding onto the ball and slowing play down. He answered that he was too good for the rest of the players and they weren't in the positions he wanted them to be (sic). I did notice yesterday that he was doing a lot of arm waving and at one point Tsaroulla didn't know what to do for the best because DC had *******ed him the move before. It goes to show that we are still a work in progress as regards understanding player movement.

Is that a fact?

Is that a fact?

We shall soon see if he leaves in January, as to whether I'm right.

That?s rubbish!

Yes, he might leave in January, but that does not mean that he thinks he?s too good for us. It could be because we get a good offer, or because he gets a good offer.

Why did Macca and Ruben leave? Because they thought they were too good for us? Of course not.

Groin injuries are nasty. Get a setback and you're even further back than square one, and have to be really cautious going forward after that.
This is what i tend to think, I keep faith with DC

I think the doubters build their conspiracy around his truly original style of play, his way of thinking and his openness about it and that incident with the kop last season. The first two of those are more to be applauded IMO

If Crowley is desperate to leave, he owes us nothing so if a bid comes in, and the holistic value is right for Notts, then take it. If it isnt, he stays and he plays. If he wants to stay and play, and a bid comes in and the holistic value is right, then again, let him go. If there bids arent right, or theyre not there, then let’s go until the end of the season.

Having DC gives us a better chance of going up than not having him. Fact. I’d be happy to let him run his contract down if it gives us a better chance of going up, which it does.

If we dont go up, and we turned down, say £200K for him, some would argue he should have gone, but hindsight is a wonderful thing.

I would also totally trust the recruitment process to replace DC (probably not due a drastic and quick January sale turn around) adequately. To be fair, I bet there is already a list of players to replace him should he leave and should we be in L2 or L1.

Hopefully there isnt a list to replace him should we be in the NL 😂

There is no way a League 2 player with just 6 months left on his contract is worth ?200k.
?50k seems more like it.

I can remember him cupping his ears last season but I can?t remember what led to it.
