NFR It has to be money

[Andy S]

Marconda Brentford's play off final midfielder and man of the match has signed for Bournemouth on a free. Is he a mercenary out to make some money or knew he would not cut the mustard in the top flight? For me he has gone for a big pay day

[Tabby]

Brentford might be wanting an upgrade. Being a free agent usually means a fat signing on fee for the player though.

[The Old Count]

He could have been impressed with Parker and felt he would improve his game as he did with so many of our players.
Nah! Must be the money....

[JimmyConway]

I'm struggling to think who Parker improved as a player? I can give you plenty who regressed under him?

Just Harrison Reed.

[H4usuallysitting]

He sees his future under a dynamic motivator - in fact he's taken a pay cut

Just Harrison Reed.

I made this point earlier and Harrison was the only player we could come up with. Plenty regressed under his tutelage

Imagine how good Harrison will be next season under a better manager.

To be fair he got more out of Onomah and Anguissa than anyone else had in England

Think he works well with central midfielders because he knows that role

I knew someone would mention onomah.
I can't accept anguissa, got worse as the season went on. Like lookman

Re Marcondes. my neighbour is a ST holder at Brentford.  He told me despite his showing at the final, over the season he wasn't that great, So his departure has little or no affect on the team

[MartyFFC]

Brentford are run on an absolute shoestring of a budget; probably offered him a dire contract. Their promotion is a genuinely remarkable achievement - there are teams in league one who probably have a bigger transfer net spend

[Whitestone]

Marcondes isn't very good. Poor judgment by Parker.

95% of footballers and people involved in football, are in it for the money. Thought that was obvious.

[Andy S]

Come on Rufus it is only the top two divisions where you can make really big money. Look at Big Jim Stanard this week, he needs 50,000 for an operation and has had to ask supporters to donate. To England players it is back pocket money

[rogerpbackinMidEastUS]

I was a mercenary.
In 1969 I moved from Allied Utd to Feltham FC (Surrey Senior League) for 4p per game.
It was transport money, but I walked to the ground and only ever played about 5 minutes
for the first team.
But I was a 'professional' footbaaller and played for the same team as Johnny Haynes
although it was a different era.
Good chat up line with the 'babes' though

League 2 players still average almost £100 grand a year...

He's rubbish to be honest. Doubt they'll miss him.

Which ain't a lot when you consider that their careers are ove at 30 something.

I'd be happy to earn that under 30 lol.
