David Bates has signed with Hamburg

Good luck to him and that’s two young Scots centre backs in Wilson and Bates off. Bates was our best defender and an extension excellent prospect that was on less than 2k weekly. We have a permed charlatan picking up more than 25k weekly is hole sunning himself and drinking tequila!

Of course, however he was our best CB, young & Scottish, we are trying to build a team.

He isn't good enough for us if we want to win the league, IMHO of course.

Wilson is only on loan is he not ?  Or do you mean Danny ? :D

Which says a lot about the need for a complete overhaul at CB in the summer.

Our goals against in the league is double that of the yahoos yet we've scored more than them. 

That tells me where our problem lie.

I’m amazed at how  difficult our fans are to please sometimes. It seems every player is held to an unattainably high standard. 

 

Unless Bates demanded a guarantee of being in starting 11 (v unlikely) we’ve let ourselves down here. A young Scottish player who is very good at what matters as a centre back. Very disappointed to hear we’ve lost him for nothing.

You simply cannot be held to ransom by any player , have some fans learned nothing , I can't be bothered with this , pay them anything mentality .

It's not really a ransom if other clubs are willing to pay him more.  It's just a lad and his agent getting the best deal.  

 

These things have to be weighed up by all interested parties.  

 

The lad will go on to be a decent defender and we might regret letting him go.  Who knows.
