Perhaps he's referring to the fact that Stanley seem to be finding it difficult to hit the back of the net. You've heard the saying he couldn't score in a ............

Then he could of excepted a very good offer by Stanley's standards instead of holding off for better offers that never came!

Re: Francis Jeffers
Maybe if he put as much effort into playing football as he does ranting on Twitter, things would be fine

Re: Francis Jeffers
So I know we dont know whats gone on. But if the problem is he waited to see if he could get more money, then I don't think that should be a big issue at all. Personally, I would do that. As, lets be honest, Stanley won't have offered him shed loads of cash - we just don't have it and he is too injury prone for it to be worthwhile.
If he is now willing to play for us on the money we offered doesn't it also show that it was the right offer? He couldn't find anyone else willing to pay more and shows that he was wrong and we were right. It'd actually a case of him swallowing his pride and coming and playing for us, which it seems he wants to do.
There is absolutely nothing for us to lose and everything for us to gain. Seems a no brainer to me.
Finally on loyalty and whether his heart is in it etc. He's a pro footballer, he has had it drilled in to him from an early age about high standards on the field and in his training. There'd be no doubt that he'd give his all to fire us up the table.

Perhaps the problem is what he actually said when the club made the offer? I certainly aint sure n nor are you? But theres a lot of little birds fly around!

Re: Francis Jeffers
Unlike a few on here, I don't know anything. But it all seems more like a schoolyard tiff over who picks who for whose team than how a professional club and a professional player should go about things.
Why don't Stanley just offer to pay the man for every goal he scores, and he can get on with what some seem to think he does best?

Re: Francis Jeffers
