Come on guys, this thread is going down a bad path and one that I am sure Dave would not appreciate. There is a lot of unneeded goading to gain a reaction, unwarranted reactions to this goading and then a belittling of this reaction. It’s a viscous circle which only creates a negative feel for TFF. .................and (yet again) who was it who started jumping up and down like Rumplestiltskin on crack just because his rather extreme reaction to a "rumour" got the better of him?

Dave was very upset last time things blew up on here, let’s not have a repeat of this. Spot on Ricky and reading the thread all I will say is this, Aussie your self moderating skills still need much work and when you enter into a debate you give your views and others then may give theirs and sorry they won't always agree with you and nor do they have to meet you half way just because you feel they should. I was enjoying reading the posts as I went around from town to town this morning until this latest little outbreak. We talk about being an adult forum and some still do not yet understand the full meaning of the word adult.

Listen mate, someone said about selling all the youngsters, now I can understand selling a few every now and then BUT NOT ALL of them ALL the time! Or we may as well just support the most successfull team in the land and be done with it!FFS I feel it`s YOU who have missed the point by a bloody country mile pal, how can I have missed my own point? Are you just being arsey for the sake of it or do you feel you are being superior by disecting someones post and trying to annalyse it bit by bit thus delibrately avioding the real point of it? As others tell me all the time re-read the bloody post! And stop trying to be so pompus, we have enough of those already! Firstly, as far as I'm aware, we're not selling all of the young players. If you read my post like I asked you I never f**king well said we were selling all the young players! FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Just not to sure about this Elliot is still (a little bit) untried as a goalscorer,just can't see a Championship side paying good money (and quite abit) for someone untried and untested.Now that said IF he was scoring on a regular basis then maybe at Xmas time/New year coming in for him I would understand.Anyway.

Why don`t we all just support Man.ure if we are going to sell all the new lads that we bring on? Every now and again sell a player to help the books along but to sell all the youngsters that you develope just to keep ending up at the foot of the table struggling Aussie firstly can you lose the anger a bit please, having read the part I quoted I can see where the confusion has come from. .

Every now and again sell a player to help the books along but to sell all the youngsters that you develope just to keep ending up at the foot of the table struggling is absolutely f*$king pointless, has no-one got any ambition to become a bigger and better club that can hopefully one way or another be able too at least take on the countries best in one fashion or another! That's a cry from the heart without recourse to the head isn't it. Every club is a "selling club" ~ even Man Utd, witness the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo (not the real one) ~ when a player decrees he no longer wishes to stay and play for his employing club there is little to be gained from holding him to his (finite) contract and thus losing him for little or nothing at the end of it. Arsenal will be a "selling club" when the time of Cec Fabrigas' contract end gets nearer, of that you can bet your bottom dollar. No club has bigger restrictions on it's potential for holding on to players than OUR club: with a tiny ground capacity of just six thousand, and a local population that struggles to more than half fill it, what do you expect? Jesus Christ has the whole operation not just run at a loss of 1.3 million pounds the last two seasons..............and when last did we sell a promising player? To claim the club is on a policy of selling ALL it's promising players is just rubbish, but every player has a price ~ it's just life! Doesn`t quite make them a feeder club though does it smart arse? You know what I mean yet you always try to make out I`ve said something that I haven`t! There are words that I`m not allowed to use for people like you!

Have you anything further to add on the rumour Benyon might be leaving Aussie? or are you going to contiune a war that no one else wants to read on a thread they may be intersted in reading Why not take that dog for another walk around the block.

Yeah I don`t think he`s leaving, I better not put what I think or post anything emotional or from the heart because we have seen what happens, it will get miss-interpreted again (deliberately) and then I will be made to look like it`s all my fault again that somepeople can`t effin read posts properly. Right where`s the bloody dog?

The sad thing is that there not really much disagreement on this thread. Right, back to writing about something that may not happen....
Benyon is probably an object lesson to the younger members of the squad showing steady improvement from scoring five goals in his first season, eleven in his second, then 14 last year in a higher division and seemingly getting off to a flying start this year.
Of course losing Benyon would leave the team weaker but dare I say it but Exeter for example has lost / sold some key players but have kept on an upward trajectory. Sometimes one door closes but another one opens. The individual's ability will not always match that of the team and this works both ways of course.

Swansea City have taken Dundee United's Spanish striker Francisco Sandaza on a week's trial, so we all maybe being a bit quick to 'count the money'!!

True RJD but the converse is probably more common. Us, the last time we were promoted for instance? Plymouth is probably the example that springs to mind. All the cash they got from selling in the last couple of years (Ebanks-Blake etc) and where did it all go? Certainly not on bringing players in. Approx 9 or 10 million if i remember rightly. Cost them their place in the Championship (not that im all that worried by that)

Blimey - I am not sure Benyon is a championship striker but he is improving all the time and is light years a better player than he was a year ago. I think that he would better off staying at Torquay for another year but then of course we won't get anything for him so if we seem to have little choice but to accept a decent bid for him if one arises. Mind you if Rendell is worth 125k then I would not be selling Benyon for anything under 200k because he is a far bettre player.
