Yeates says thank you to the U's (From Gazette)

Cheers Yeates, You did well for us. Your worth much more than £500,000.

Well done Mark, you deserve a good move for all the hard work and effort you put in for the U's - hope we don't miss you too much but I fear we will.

I agree with both of the above comments. Sold far to cheap and we will miss him big time. Good luck Mark at your new club.

I personally think Paul Lambert is unloading certain players unnessary for his own ego.He needs Geraint Williams signings out of the way so that he can claim that he turned the club around. Certain players in my mind have been treated like dirt in this club. Paul Ifil and John White are two. Why sign Mayberry who is 32 when you have two reasonbly good young players at full back on your books. A lot of money has been wasted at this club by getting rid of players that have cost fees previously and then not been wanted by Mr Lambert. All we have done so far this season is get rid of Yeatsy for peanuts and Gerkin. People keep on about resigning Walker as the goal keeper but he is 36. Gerkin is a good goalie and was not given the confidence he should have had. I call it crap mamagment and sorry but i was never a lover of lambert in the first place and certainly not now. What about Etio he was playing in the championship for us near the end of the season before last. Liverpool were showing interest. Again another player gone to seed. If the manager blanks you out how the hell do you lift your game. If your shunned you lose confidence and feel down and not wanted. I spoke a few weeks ago to a Col Utd present player in a supermarket in Colchester. He is under contract but from what he told me many of the players are far from happy. I can not name him but will soon be able to once he leaves which will be soon. We have never been told what players Lambert wanted to get rid of or were being made available for transfer. This club now tells us nothing of whats going on. No comments from the colchester manager on the Col utd web page. Nearly every manager has something to say.
