400k. Not sure if this is up front or on the drip but more than we can afford. Shame as he's a quality player

I have never left the ground thinking bell has been anything other than appaling. Quite how thorn thought he could play at the tip of the diamond is beyond me. I cant believe some people think he will suddenly be decent next season. He's alway gets grouped with baker but I think baker could do ok next season.

Well, you want to read some of the stuff said about him. Pretty hateful. I'm noteven going to bother answering the crap from cheever s bout jews, nazis, my age,me being a parent, etc.
some fuckin sense at last!
The point I'm making is a good majority of Cov fans seem to mix up talent with work rate. If we had signed a young Le Tissier he would have been hounded out before he was 21, while some supporters would prefer Sean Flynn. I've always like footballers with ability, players who are capable of doing something, definitely preferable to work horses.

Wasn't Norwood at the end of his contract at Utd, so on a free?
The mature response I expected......:facepalm:
For once, just once, it would have been good to see you admit that there is a reason to admit that you got it wrong, Torchy.
You failed to do this over SISU, Coleman, AT after last season, David Bell, and now your appalling use of language.
You really have let yourself down on this one...polarising and labelling the fans in such a manner is an utter disgrace.
Shame on you.
Please elaborate/quote.....rather than making sweeping statements.
Another trait of those who lack the skills to debate, but seek to divide the masses....
Why not?
It was a perfectly good point I made about the use of a word you made.
Why no comment....you usually have some retort.....no evidence, perhaps???

You didn't cheer his goals then or his game changing performance setting up two goals after coming on a sub this season?

I understand your point, and always make the same argument, as what you are saying annoys me too.
But on this occasion it doesn't apply. Maybe a new thread making the point would be the best option.

Talking about jews persecution by Nazis was a good point, was it?
As i said look at some of the things said a bout him by some posters on here and twitter. Then come back on here and be man enough to admit some are indeed hateful.

Torchy, you seem like a realtively intelligent chap, so I'm struggling to understand your arrogance here.
Are you suggesting that the Jews would not feel 'hate' towards the Nazis in the 30s/40s????
Jeez, mate, if that is the case, then your attitude really is appalling.
Or if you didn't understand the reason for using this example, I'll explain.....
Using words such as 'hate' in the context of atrocities such as the Holocaust is acceptable. To use such words to ridicule your FELLOW supporters, or to win a petty argument, is totally unacceptable.
The ironic thing to this whole episode is that your view of Bell is totally contradictory to almost all CCFC fans.....:facepalm:
As for evidence, I ask you once again, please provide these 'hate' messages directed at Bell, rather than lazily point CCFC fans to a media site that many have no access to, and a forum containing thousands of pages.
Evidence please.....:thinking about:

In that case I'd like you to bring proof of such hateful material to the floor-genuinely, because I haven't read anything on here beyond fierce criticism of his managerial abilities. Nobody on this forum hates Andy Thorn.
Yes, I have cheered all 6 of them over the past 4 seasons..........:facepalm:

Like I said Otis, I think fitness is his biggest problem-if he has a really storming pre-season and comes in next season in top condition, I think he could do quite well.

There's a hilarious joke in there somewhere I'm sure.
Absolutely, BSB.
I really do abhor people who make sweeping statements to prove to themselves that their argument is 'stronger' than that of their fellow fans.
No-one hates AT, no-one hates Bell, Baker or even McSheffrey.
Yes, we are frustrated by them, and question their effort, ability, tatcical nous etc at times, but to say that those who criticise Bell (and that must be 90%+ of the fan base) 'hate' him is a completely scandalous use of words to describe YOUR OWN fans.

Nothing, Nick, I was simply stating that using words like 'hate' are appropriate in certain situations....but to use it to describe how we CCFC fans feel about David Beli is a disgraceful way to describe your FELLOW supporters.
Why, has someone complained.....again??? :thinking about:
As I said, maturity needed to debate...and surely you posses this, Torchy as a 50-something parent....so please debate appropriately, not ducking issues, making inflammatory remarks etc....

I'm not 50 something. You should hone your stalking skills a little. As for inflammatory remarks, people in glass houses.

Oh dear, Torchy.
This is totally off topic now, so I'm moving on from this 'debate'.
Please take your vitriol elsewhere.
For the record, I DO NOT HATE:
David Bell
AT
Carl Baker
Steve Harrison
Joey Barton
Kofi Annan
David Cameron
Kriss Akabussi
Cliff Thorburn
Cllr Mutton
Phil 'The Power' Taylor
JLS
But I do hate Adolf Hitler.
I've met him...why do you hate him, stupot?
A reply was made to words used....how is that a tiff? can't the language used be questioned by fellow post-ers when they are accused of something they are not?????
Do you 'hate' David Bell, Nick?
