According to tribalfootball.com Slager has been linked to a move to Stoke in the Dutch press.
Why didn't just buy his own car like the rest of us mortals have to do...

Changing the subject slightly but I was once told that the first team squad were all given Talbot Solaras way back when Talbot were still around and were the shirt sponsor.
Can anyone shed any light on this.
To be honest I'm surprised they haven't snapped up Edge after he was released by bury..

Kilbane has come out if retirement to give it one more go there and Stephen Elliot finds a club at last.
They were, it's in Harry Roberts' autobiography that he won one for being player of the year... then the club signed a deal with Talbot, so the entire squad got one... except at a higher spec than his!
Cheers northern. I was told that by a girl from cov who I used to work with. She had been pulled by a member of the squad and was all excited because she thought she was going to get picked up in a jag or flashy sports car only for him to pull up in the same car her dad who worked at Talbot drove. It was even the same colour apparently.
I can't remember who the player was though. She told me the story about 20 years ago and the story was an old story then.
Somewhere in my toomanyposts I quoted the bit from the autobiography.
Buggered if I'm ploughing through all that shite to find it again, though!
Funny how things change though, even in my lifetime. Back when I started following football a top flight footballer would do... alright for themselves, but a 3 bed semi on a housing estate isn't really living the life of luxury.
And now they get put up at the Chesford Grange, not even slumming it in the Holiday Inn!
Back to the topic...
The only reason he left was not because he was home sick but realised what a crap club we have become... playing in a low standard stadium 30 odd miles away with the lowest crowd in the league.
He only has better ambitions than our club and its owners. some people should really get off his back... good luck to him if he get to play for Stoke. At least they have a stable environment there. I'm sure we would do the same if we uprooted from your job here to another country and realise this wasn't for you and you can do better.
Reality is if we were still at the Ricoh.. we would probably get interest from decent players as the stadium itself psychologically would have attracted them. They would feel they are playing for a big club. Can you really see that with Sixfields or in a 12,000 stadium with a squad consisting of majority loan players. Players are like us, they want job security and solid contracts... you can't run a football club relying on short loan players. Its has become too disruptive in a middle of a season, as we can see now with our club.

He's been offered a contract till the end of the season from waalwick his former club.
Their ground capacity is 7,500
I don't doubt you G-Man but how do you know that?

Well they seem to get more home crowds than us ... can I rest my case??
I suspect SP and our owners may have not been clearly honest with him about our club
You make that sound like thats an argument against him thinking we are a crap club (I have course have no idea what he thinks, but your point isn't a valid argument at all)
Waalwick get 2 or 3+ times our attendances, getting 7k+ for big games, they play in the top division in Holland, they play teams like Ajax (in front of 50k crowds) Feyenoord, PSV Enidhoven week in week out.
No he's gone to a club at home - if he wanted to come to England and stay his agent could have found an alternative club for him to go to with bigger crowds - he has gone home. No story, no conspiracy.
Are you saying he thought Coventry were in the premier league and he thought he'd be at old Trafford?
