Rommy Boco has been excellent for us.

A hardworking 'Sherpa' of a player, he's been an integral part of much of what we've achieved whilst being paid next to nowt.

Well it seems we've now paid a far higher price for not tying him down on a proper contract - he's apparently signed for a club in INDIA!

Contrast that with Olly Banks.

The consensus at the Club is that he needs to go out on loan - anywhere will do - and get back to basics. However I'm told that in the lads' mind there's no problem, he's still a star and only a few autographs away from a return to the first team.

I reckon the wrong player is under contract at Town whilst the other is on his way.

If he's gone to India it's highly unlikely we'd have been able to compete wage-wise, they're currently spending big dolla for their new super league

Banks is rhubarb and can get gone as far as I'm concerned. He is basically Mark Randall at this point.

I wonder if Boco's departure from the UK (if that's what it is) has been hastened by this?

I don't how we can be so opinionated about Boco's position, when we don't know any facts. What if Boco wanted the same as Jimmy and Sammy (in which case goodbye Romy)? What if he was offered the same as say Gardner or O'Shea or Dan Jones and turned it down?

Is there a reason he wants to run to India? What if they are paying crazily high wages and money is what he is about? He is 29, and perhaps has need to earn more than play at this time?*

Will he still be working at jacksons though?

[SpireiteFitzy]

Banks and Gardner both need shipping out on loan pronto to try and give them the game time to get them in shape to try and fight for their places here. Didn't we pay money for banks? gotta try and save the investment instead of just letting go. Burton are a local side doing well, it's a shame we can't get them there as they are local and playing to a good standard. Boco for his comparitive lack of wow factor makes up for it with hard work and a desire to want to play for us and despite as we are oft told about his lack of scoring contribution still brought effort to the table and you need a lot of that in this league.

Yes. In their call centre.

Boco has done a solid job for us but certainly nothing spectacular. I’m not particularly fussed that he is on his way.
Given his position in the team, Drew could quite easily come in for him and put in the same amount of workrate and endeavour.

Wish he would contact me. I love this sort of case. Councillors refusing permission contrary to their professional advice. Get in there!

Did Drew travel today?

Can Drew come in now? I doubt it to Boco's level at this time.

We need to find the reason why Dan Gardner can't perform on a consistent basis, he has the ability to change games, I'd be gutted to see him go elsewhere and play how we know he can

Can't argue with that. It's also time for Dan G to shine.

How old is he? Am sure we still have time for him to find consistency

Have a green on me. Made me choke on my poached egg!

[The Earl of Chesterfield]

The real kick in the knackers is that because Boco was on so little his exit doesn't release a wedge to recruit a replacement.

Thought so, still has a couple of years to peak.
