MATTY BELL

[PUNKISDEAD]

I can see no reason for releasing him, I do not think he has had a chance to prove himself one way or another for the first team, maybe a season loan to a conference side would have been better, I have watched him in the reserves and think he is a good home grown player, I hope he, along with, the other released players get fixed up!!

I can see a reason,we need to reduce our wage bill.

A lower level club would give him experience, plus they would probably pay his modest wages, he has come through the ranks, was crowed about last year at the presentation evening, and suddenly, after years in the academy etc is cut adrift in my opinion, it sends out a cracking message to the kids in the academy

But realistically, how much is an 18 year old likely to be on in terms of wages?

For sure he has had a cracking season for the reserves and hasn't been given much chance. Saving peanuts (in relative terms) by realeasing him.

Cheers for that Aal, I feel that as a local family style club, this post needs keeping up top,loyalty is a two way street, the academy seems to be doing its bit

I saw the recent 2-1 win for the reserves against Burnley and Bell looked a class above Parrish in the centre of defence.

Can't begin to imagine what Dickie Danson must be feeling as well

It can be kept at the top for as long as there is something interesting to add to the discussion. First sign of it being bounced to 'deliberately' keep it live, it will be locked!



But I'm sure that isn't what you meant???

[Aal]

It certainly wasn't from my point of view....I just happen to thoroughly agree with P is D

Its says that if you`re in the running for a contract with Dickie & Livvies lot then all the defenders can forget it, not one of them is any where near as good as Matty. I have watched many turn into the player he is now. He can give you 4 options on the field positionally, he is strong, reads the game well and can knock a great ball. I think he may well be one of those players that comes back to haunt teams, hopefully he will get sorted quickly and show the club it was a mistake letting him go.

Very good shout

I think this is a theme with Sammy- he appears to have his favourites and sometimes players can not break through, why give the lad a contract if you are not going to test him out?
