The quote was originally mine Ian. Deano is a top player and I'm surpised we held onto him for as long as we did. Without knowing the ins and outs I'd wager Diane had it spot on that Morecambe offered 2 years and we offered 1, probably a bit more cash as well. I do stand by what I said that I think we've had the best of him though. He's a warhorse and has played through injuries many, many times. Given the fact that he is a 100%er as well I think those injuries will start totting up.
I havent the stats in front of me (yet) but it will be interesting to compare his season on season appearances since he signed.
On another note it always saddens me when players move to 'rival clubs'. I know they dont have the same loyalty as fans do, but as a fan you always think the players first reaction would be "you can eff off if you think I'm signing fer t'cockle pickers"
And on another, another note, I'm glad you've said that you might hang around. One of the few sensible posters on Accy Web and I always enjoy your unbiased, (unless referring to Deano) opinions on a game. We nearly had to get the mods to put in a compo claim to Shrimpsvoices!
