It would be beautiful if he went to Coventry. They already have 1-goal-in-30 Eastwood, and add DJ to that potentially exquisite attack. That's what dreams are made of.

i hope this dream comes true DJ to cov pure bliss

...and also his greediness, poor attitude and his footballing brain of a fooking door-nail.

If he got a decent run of games, I'm sure he'd take back whatever he said.

I dont hold anything against him for what he said, football players want to play football, keep him.

But he isn't a footballer, if he wanted to play football he would drop his salary and move.

I can't blame him for the salary that he was put on but I can blame him for his lack of footballing skills and brain.

As was said on Bentleys, if we have to support his life style then let's fook it up, make himserve the burgers on a saturday afternoon.

And go in for training at 7:30pm

And we've got the bastard for another 2 seasons as well.

His career will be effectively over if he doesn't move

I'm sure you will find anything like that will be classed as us breaching his contract.

If DJ got his head down and worked hard, I am sure he could get back into Pearson's plans. He would need to apologise to Pearson and Milan, and to the fans. We will see whether he is man enough to do it. If not I think we will see him back at Blackpool with us paying half his wages again.

You can't begrudge the guy not wanting to drop his wage. The guy has only effectively been a professional footballer for less than 4 years and he wouldn't have been earning much at Brentford. Footballers have very short careers, he's already getting on for 28. He will want the best wage possible to provide long-term security for him and his family. At the end of the day, he isn't a terrible player and if we can't get another striker or dj can't find a club to match our wage, we could happily use him as a back-up striker. He proved on loan at blackpool he can still do it! I don't think Lita would be a lot better and would probably demand a higher wage anyway, as would Philips.

I'd take him as a back up striker.

He has pace and can finish some of the time, with that bit of confidence, taking back what he said and getting abit more strength/muscle so that he doesn't get nocked off the ball easy thats fine back up for me, providing we get another one/two strikers in as well.

One thing this shows is that how importent it is to get the right manager. I dont think its was MA fault that he signed the DJ.

Here is my reasoning, how many times have you seen managers going back to their old clubs or going to other clubs and

getting in players who they know all about? It happens a lot.

Harry Rednapp for example has bought Crouch and Defoe a number of times. Billy Davis at Forest has bought Earnshaw at two different clubs and the list goes on.

My point is that ultimately the DJ problem goes back to MM appointment of MA. At the time I dont think MA had managed at CCC level. Hence, had limited contacts of players who had played at CCC or higher. Im sure we signed about 12 or 13 players under MA and most were complete rubbish. MA tried to do the best by us by signing the best player he could at the time with the contacts he had. Unlikely for us that was the DJ. Its a big shame that year when we spent a lot of money think it was around £10m we didn't have the right manager to attract the right players. Therefore, the buck stops with MM.

Moving on thank goodness we have NP, whose been around a bit at Championship level and Prem with Newcastle. Lets not forget his contacts at England too. NP will come good with his signings im sure next season when we become a more attractive proposition. Just hoping he can pull one out of the bag this year with Lita. Anyway, at last MM has got it right with NP the future is looking rosey.
