Burton linked with Chesterfield

Spireites boss eyes more firepower
Chesterfield manager John Sheridan is looking to strengthen his strikeforce and has been linked with a move for Charlton's Deon Burton.
The Spireites have been linked with Burton, but Sheridan was coy when asked about the 32-year-old.
He said: "He is a striker and I am looking for a striker, but he is with another club."


Would be really suprised if we let him go as i (depressingly) see him as our top striker.

Our new Tibetian owners echo my sentiments. . . .

No disrespect to them but it would surprise me if Chesterfield could match what we are allegedly paying Burton.

He was supposedly all set to go to Cheltenham town and we are meant to have offered double what they had.

Parky may have his eye on someone else to replace Super Deon?

The way we are shipping players Welling might put an offer in someone soon.

If we can't even keep Burton we're seriously going to struggle.

If we can get the right players around him he'll be a good player for us and play an important role.

A prime example of how far we've fallen.

Robbo on the wing

Spoke briefly to him the other day, and showed no indication that he was after a move.
As it happens, he seemed quite happy.

Sadly i have to agree with this. i think he'll be a decent striker in league one.

I think he's quite happy but he does struggle with living separate to his wife and children who are in the midlands. He told us at the sponsors dinner that his little girl had said to him "i understand daddy that you and mummy dont want to live together anymore" or something like that. so he misses his family. i suppose he didnt move them down as didnt know how secure his future was.

No we cannot sell the hatrick hero

Feel sorry for him being away from his family.

I think a move to Chesterfield would be a very fair thing to do.

Feel sorry for him picking up a few grand a week, playing football, loads of time on his hands, how can anyone feel sorry for a footballer, they have the life most would give their right arm for

I think falconwood_1's comment was sarcasm.

That must be hard on him if his little girl is saying that but equally he gets well paid for doing a job he probably loves and the midlands is a 2-3 hour drive away. I'm sure there's soldiers or blokes who work on oil rigs who go months without seeing their kids and aren't anywhere near as well paid.

erm, can't he commute??

Hell also be a massive signing for them in terms of the size of club they are. Im sure hed find the potential hero worship hed get there on the pitch and even walking down the road even if hes not prolific a lot more appealing than the indifference/ negativity he may have received for underperforming at our place.
