If thats true thats shocking!
We've heard stories like this before,if its true he can sling his hook,but ask yourself could it really be true?
Not sure Art. The lad in question hangs round with Ridehalgh every night so I DON'T think he would make it up. If true It pi££es me off tbh. He gets quite a lot of backing on here to get a start etc. Maybe bo££ocks mate, I just get a feeling it's not and this is the case with a lot footballers nowadays. Nothing new I suppose.
Just another Clark mistake!
who cares, if he said that good for him, im hardly gonna let it get me down.
I wonder what he's on Wether. I bet it isn't far short of £10k. Maybe 8
Fair enough Tez. Just bothers me when he's on a good amount of cash and people on here call for him to be in the side. Never liked the fuc£er anyway.
Very worrying!
Liam Ridehalgh is a professional footballer and hangs around with boys every night? No girlfriend Liam or not your scene?
Too much, obviously johnny! I wouldn't pay him in washers.
Alan Lee is probably as p@ssed off as the rest of us. he's hardly played really, had a slow start, got dropped, then played at Arsenal, starting to look like he'd found his scoring touch and never played since. Another monumental error by LC, he paid what £400k for him, and on £8k pw that's £800k in 2 years, and he goes on a free next May...£1.2m wasted by LC...why did he buy him ?
I got told by Tom Clarke that Alan Lee is a top bloke, As mad as a hatter and great guy to have !
A bit of training ground banter.
Is it Lees fault Clark aint picking him, Why did Clark persuede him to come and then never play him, The lad could have gone to other sides in the division above probably earning the same ?
Clark n Hoyle will have sold the club and what we are doing to not just Lee, Joey G will also have had his arm twisted to drop a division, Both signed by Clarke, Both on big wages and neither have been played to their strengths - The reason Clark bought them in the first place.
So no, I couldnt give a monkeys about a bit of training ground banter between two blokes who are both out of the side and both probably think they should be, One on loads of money and the other on not very much.
I don't think he's a error its just that Clark goes mad in the transfer market.He's not a bad player,we've not seen the best of him.Players need a run of games in the team,he's just the same as Iwan Roberts and evryone loved him in the end.Thing is he played up front on this Jack Jones we wouldn't score at all,he needs to play in a 442 formation,someone to feed off him.
Jacko, cos the Steve Howard deal fell through at the last minute and he panicked. Thus we now have a (as per your calculations) very expensive mistake. I wonder how much Joey is on. He probably gets his delivered by a Lear
Why is he a mistake?He's hardly ever played and thats down to Clarke not picking him.He is a decent player its just that Clark obviously wants to play 1 up front.He came on for the last 15 minutes at Vale and played quite well won a few headers and free kicks.He can't be accomodated in the preferred formation that Clark wants to play.I would like to see him used more from the bench.
Bruce, I didn't say he wasn't a top bloke, but If I remember rightly, Palace said they couldn't compete with what we were offering. If Lee thought he could have still played in the championship surely he would have stayed there. I just have the feeling there are a lot
of these players about that would rather have the cash than knuckle down and play 90 mins of football but if there are managers out there gullible enough to buy them it will continue
Art, I probably have an unfair opinion of him because I didn't like him before we bought him. Don't have anything against him, just thought of him as one of these journeyman type players
Alan Lee,
All power to his elbow. He's been shat on from a great height by our super hero manager.

You must lead a sheltered life.

You really are clueless. Lord knows how it's taken me so long to realise it, but you are aren't you.
Alan Lee is an Icon wherever he's played. For example, Rotherham call him God.
To say you didn't like him before he came here is really quite laughable

38, that's the way he plays, but hes only effective playing as a front two. That's the way he's always played.
He takes the hard knocks and his partner feeds off the scraps.
Lee Clark has definitely not done his homework before he bought him and sent him out onto the pitch........... but hey, does that really surprise you?
Alan Lee is a good bloke from what I've heard and is well liked within the squad, I know he pretty much mentored Benik the whole time he was here and really was a good influence on him - anyone who was at Bristol Rovers last seen will have seen after the match how much Benik looked up to the big man! As for him not giving a hoot, he did go away and lose lots of weight during the off-season and come back fitter than he was last, so I can't see that being true whatsoever. He might well have said the things mentioned, but I've no doubts that if he did it will have been banter among the boys, why should he not give rinse the young lads who earn a fraction of what he's on yet have to run about for 90 minutes while he gets to chill on the bench with a nice Martini?
As for his playing abilities, he'd be starting this weekend if it was up to me.
Clown,

Why would I or the other 100 Town fans sat around me care what a Rotherham fans thoughts of Alan Lee were.
My opinion on player isn't based on someone else's views.
I have my own thoughts and views on every subject you could possibly imagine.
For you to come here and slate my views on Lee is laughable.
Your own views are both contradictory and hypocritical.
Take Rhodes for example. (who, btw I do not claim to be the biggest fan) Completely slated by yourself virtually everyday in some form or another, yet if I'm not mistaken has a 2.39 strike rate. (with a hell of a lot of bench appearances) The God that is Alan Lee has 4.39 strike rate.
Now they are facts, not a clueless opinion. Granted, someones strike rate isn't the be all and end all as there are various aspects to anyones game. But this doesn't detract what I think about Lee and lets be honest, I think I will have seen him play a good few times more than yourself
Last sentence you're wrong again. You've been listening to Mirf too much.
As for yout stats you need to see the bigger picture.
When Rhodes plays no other striker gets a look in because Rhodes is unable to form a worthwhile partnership.
Alan Lee on the other hand is quite the opposite.
It's not rocket science
I totally agree with Cas and Cryer, Rotherham, Ipswich and Palace fans all liked Lee, Happen he was played to his strengths and was a good foil for whichever smaller quicker player partnered him up top.
I would have him starting every game and then pull him off around the hour mark and then bring Novaks fresh legs on, But then again Clarks doesnt seem to value building up partnerships does he ??
Central defence, Centre midfield or up top !
Why on earth did Clark bring him in ?
He obviously did well for us on Clarkys PC manager game, Just as the 451 system won him the league at a canter.
