owlsmad Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 At the end of the day, both players have been offered new contracts. The club obviously believe they have offered the right price, so it’s up to Hirsty and Clare and their representatives. If they don’t want to stay, then what else can the club do? Personally I’d love them both to stay, realistically I can’t see either staying. They no doubt think they’ve EARNED the right to demand high wages, having played a handful of first team games between them!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't have made the slightest bit of difference as his head was turned by the premiership youngsters at the England meet ups, he simply doesn't want to be here, he's seen the brighter lights outside Sheffield, nothing wrong with that in itself, we all want to better ourselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owlsmad Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 True, but we don’t know what went off between young Hirsty and the club representatives. I doubt they’d freeze him out just for 5hits and giggles! 3 minutes ago, Geoffrey said: Letting Hirst train with his peers might have been a start. C’est la vie!

Look at his interview That’s called keeping player’s egos in check and keeping a talented young lad’s feet on the ground. Jos will know what a big future Clare could have ahead of him.

handworth52 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Our youth system over last 20 years has been a joke I doubt there is a club in England what has so few talents come through there youth system as ours . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonbones Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 If Clare had played like that for us at 18 or 19 i'd be far more concerned. This kid - and I use the term "kid" only because i'm twice his age - still could be a good player, maybe in the Premier. But then many managers of SWFC have said the same about Palmer and look where he is......still being a bit part player in what is currently a mediocre championship side. Clare has a few questions he needs to ask himself. Does he see a better future for himself away from SWFC? Does he see a good future for himself at SWFC? Does he think the ambitions of SWFC match his own? Does he think the ambitions of SWFC exceed what he thinks he can achieve? Is it just about money? Does he have short term desire to earn more?

It's not that binary though mate. Pelupessy young and cheap. Is he good enough though? Is Clare a Championship player? I'd rather pay Bannan three times either of em. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
