TheEnchanter Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 We are yet to bring in attacking players. This opens up another slot for a new face. Which is good imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeeeeJ Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) Don't get me wrong I'm not a massive fan, but the truth is he was probably one of the few we had that could do something when he felt like it. I just can't understand offering reduced terms, seems like penny pinching to me. I don't imagine he was on a big wage. Or maybe we have been paying him way over the odds for X years.Maybe we are looking at a better player and rather than giving him a long term deal to be sat in the reserves for the next few years we thought "heres a 1 year deal, help got us promoted and see how it goes' I'd rather us lose a replaceable squad player for next season than have him stuck with us wasting space for the next 3 Edited July 2, 2015 by DeeeeeJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcclesallOwl Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Why even bother offering a deal if you're not that keen on keeping him Cause he would've been a decent squad player? But easily replaceable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Think we all kinda guessed he was off anyway. All the best, Chrissy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan™ Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 we now have no wingers, no creative midfielders , but on the plus side we have plenty of defensive midfielders You could turn that around and use it as a positive though... Midfield is likely going to be a key area for the style we want to play next season, so to be able to start from a clean slate and spend our entire budget on players who fit into these new roles could be a good thing.

wharncliffeowl Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) I'd have kept Maguire to be honest. Even if just as back up, we don't have any wide players now Edited July 2, 2015 by wharncliffeowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulva Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Can't help thinking we are trying to be too clever with recruitment. Unless he was asking for silly money, Maguire was worth a contract. This apparent obsession with random overseas unknowns smacks of a scouting team schooled on Championship manager, and getting carried away. Our first signing, without a shadow of a doubt should have been McGugan. Maybe that didn't excite the creative juices of a committee that has to prove it's worth, and be seen to be thinking outside the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls24 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Wow exciting news ffs!*** I'd have kept Maguire tbf good squad player. That's 8 players needed now...!!!That were probably the issue. He spent 2 season in a position he doesn't like, and now he'd be a squad player. Don't blame him tbf, he's got first team football in him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamese Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Bloody hell was hoping it was a signing! So that's 2 English players leaving today, will we become the Arsenal of the championship? (A team full of foreign players) I know they voted no to independence, but I don't think that makes Scotland become part of England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miffed Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) Be a right wankfest on her if mcgugan turns out to be his replacement It would be progress, but if we have serious ambitions for promotion, we should be looking at better than McGugan. If he was the world beater that most on here make out, he would have been in Watfords team Edited July 2, 2015 by Miffed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan™ Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Our first signing, without a shadow of a doubt should have been McGugan. Maybe that didn't excite the creative juices of a committee that has to prove it's worth, and be seen to be thinking outside the box. To be fair, McGugan couldn't get in a side filled with foreign bargains who were good enough to get promotion from this league. Not saying he would be a bad signing, but regardless of whether we go for him or not I'd hope we have similar or better talent on our radar.

As good a loan signing as we have had, right up there with the likes of Scott Carson and Kenwyne. The possible problem with McGugan is that he may well have something written into his contract that he gets a pay rise, if Watford get promotion. My bet would be that the McGugan saga drags on until the end of August, and a deadline day deal is done, when someone blinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan™ Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 We have Lee, I reckon he'll kick on after last years ever so slightly disappointing season Lee is quite technical though, and comes from a background at Man Utd which won't have done him any harm. I reckon Carlos will see him as a useful player to have in the squad, compared to the likes of Maghoma and Coke who I don't think he'll miss.
