Fans keep droning on about Alfie May on the lines of one Twitter comment: 'I can’t believe that they got rid of May and brought in Ahadme. We have zero flair. If we go a goal down like Saturday we don’t have the wit or nous to score.'
Peter Varney commented: 'If you look at the wages Birmingham City are paying Alfie
(more than 2.5 times what Charlton were paying him) that tells you everything
as to why this transfer happened. Alfie also said his family were desperate to
go back north and he was being substituted a bit or left out towards the end of
last season. Footballers are not like the rest of us as they have short careers
and in Alfie's case he came into the professional game late so has not earnt
big bucks before.'
Fuelled by Tom Wagner’s investment, the Blues had the six highest transfers in League One this summer. In fact, they now have the three highest ever deals in England’s third tier, led by the staggering £15m paid to Fulham for young forward Jay Stansfield.
I would add that an unhappy Alfie kept at Charlton might not have scored as many goals.
Sadly Wyn, you've swallowed the bullshit from the club and around.
ReplyDeleteNJ told Alfie he was unlikely to figure in the squad this season. Where did that leave Alfie, basically unwanted by the Messiah. Huddersfield got wind of the situation and transfer talk began. Then Birmingham came in with an offer Alfie couldn't refuse, so he put in a transfer request to assure the move. And who could blame him.
As for his family wishing to go back North. Apparently his wife comes from Doncaster. I think she'll find Birmingham is in the Midlands. Of course she could have accepted that footballers move around the country, but on retirement can go back to wherever they wish.
Oh and Alfie has scored four goals for Brum. Meanwhile Ahadme has scored none for Charlton. I know which 'striker' I would rather have.
The Messsiah, my arse.
Surely the striker comparison is with Matt Godden and a returning Miles Leaburn, Birmingham is a lot nearer Doncaster than Kent. May has gone: fans need to move on.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the Messiah needs to move on............
