See yer then! He should take the better offer.Hes not gunna take the risk if he thinks he will get a better offer is he.
The one plus I can give him is he could have stayed at Everton and carried on claiming a wage to not play very much. By sounds of it they offered him a contract. If that's the case he must want to play.His career's been going nowhere and he hasn't seemed particularly bothered it's been going nowhere.
If he's now demanding shitloads for giving us the pleasure of his services probably best avoided.
Maybe he will hold out for one, maybe he won't get one, who knows?See yer then! He should take the better offer.
As is his right, but we don't need to wait around if that's his choice. If we're getting Doyle and Palmer soon, then it's not quite so critical.Maybe he will hold out for one, maybe he won't get one, who knows?
He does appear to be possibly waiting till last min to see what his best options, which could mean he isnāt match fit till sometime September if he holds out for much longerAs is his right, but we don't need to wait around if that's his choice. If we're getting Doyle and Palmer soon, then it's not quite so critical.
He's not someone we need to break our rules for, unlike, say, someone like Hamer or Doyle.
Exactly⦠why sign players now that arenāt match fit or close too??He does appear to be possibly waiting till last min to see what his best options, which could mean he isnāt match fit till sometime September if he holds out for much longer
I do get the fans looking at the fixture list and picking out the must wins but Hecky and the players canāt do that, they have to think they can go almost anywhere and win, they have to think if we can beat Palace at home then we can beat them away as wellExactly⦠why sign players now that arenāt match fit or close too??
We need starters asap that will impact games. 2 out of next 3 matches are points opportunities!
Window should shut 1 week before first fixture imoboth transfer windows can help them otherwise whatās the point in having them
I wouldnāt be against that tbh, would work for meWindow should shut 1 week before first fixture imo
Why on gods green earth would you do this to yourself?
"IF", theres literally no guarantee of us getting eather, there are issue with Doyle on a perm, as Hecky has eluded to.As is his right, but we don't need to wait around if that's his choice. If we're getting Doyle and Palmer soon, then it's not quite so critical.

Then we move on. We're not in a position to throw out our principles for a free transfer who's not willing to commit early."IF", theres literally no guarantee of us getting eather, there are issue with Doyle on a perm, as Hecky has eluded to.
His first choice on loan is also Mcatee, and I think that's what he's holding out for, and as we can only have 1 on loan, if its correct that we cant afford Doyle, then we may end up with none, and Davies on a free, may be one of our only options.
Unfortunately money talks, and without it, were saying fuck all.

definetly im sure hecky still wants obrien and i think the player would come here plus he would fit in to our set up especially if we can get tommy doyle as well maybe fridays game might give us an opportunity to see if forests stance with his price has weakened at allLet's at least hit pause on Davies until after the Forest game when their tune might change on OBrien
AyeThis is fair comment. Itās a test of his motivation if heās willing to accept the going rate of a low end prem club in order to get his career moving again.
If he doesnāt fancy it, no problem, move along. If he does, great, hop aboard.
To who? This is the issue, we dont have cash to throw around, its not new news, weve known this for months, Hecky is doing what he can with what he's got.Then we move on. We're not in a position to throw out our principles for a free transfer who's not willing to commit early.
GLTTL.
So what are you proposing? We remove the clauses for a player who's likely to be on the bench for most games?To who? This is the issue, we dont have cash to throw around, its not new news, weve known this for months, Hecky is doing what he can with what he's got.
I'm sure if you know of some cheap or free gems that our scouting department have missed, then Hecky would be over the moon if you could point them out!, if not, its just a waiting game with time we dont have and money we have less of unfortunately.
Done his preseason with Bristol RoversHas he had a preseason? Barely worth signing if heās going to take 4-6 weeks to get up to speed?
I'm very suspicious with this one , what's wrong with this guy that no one's snapped him up ????
Probably thinks he's worth bigger wages than most are offering and seeing what crops up but as I said before he was supposedly offered a new contract by Everton so if he was just money grabbing you'd think he'd have just signed that.I'm very suspicious with this one , what's wrong with this guy that no one's snapped him up ????
Not sure. Didn't like them horrible ripped jeans. Maybe we've made a mistake.Canāt see him being introduced āt crowd next home game like our Guuuuussssss (who, coincidently dresses like proper bloke), meh
