�80,000 a week is an obscene amount of money.

Given is a great player who is on very good money, too good in fact. You can't blame him for sticking it ou on the bench at Man City when he's making so much money.

Robbie Keane is in the same boat.

Can't blame em. As i just said they are on an obscene amounts of money. It's no wonder so many players put club before country.

Playing 9 games in an entire season because of injury is hardly going to endear him to clubs. He seemed to roll from one injury to another.

Darren Potter being linked with a move to MK Dons.

Hull interested in Darron Ambrose while QPR may be interested too. QPR would certainly help his career more.

Was meant to be getting his papers sorted http://www.herald.ie/sport/soccer/am...r-2525639.html but no recent developments that I've heard about.

Ah balls. Pilks is a huge player for Town, I really hope he'll stay and get us promoted (finally) next season.
It's also worth noting that he suffered a desperate injury a few months ago and it'll be a good long while before he's back to his best, if that's even possible.

**TrapAPony** · 20/06/2011, 3:36 PM

David Forde linked with Aston Villa and Newcastle.

I've no doubt he is on the radar of Premier LEague clubs but surely not on the basis of a game where he only had to make one save in injury time.

True, but also not on the basis of coming in as first choice keeper maybe. But you never know.

**BonnieShels** · 20/06/2011, 4:08 PM

That's a strange article

Also what's with the reference to shut-out?
Clean sheet anyone? This isn't hockey.

Nothing like a shut out on a road game. Nothing like it.

**Stuttgart88** · 20/06/2011, 4:17 PM

...and on our winningest run in a few years.

I like the look of Forde. Solid, unfussed and a mammoth kick out. He has a presence, an inner confidence that calms his defenders. OK, I've only seen him play about 100 minutes, but that's what I noted in him!
