Fernando Forestieri has heard nothing from the club

[Mr Farrell]

Now he knows how we feel on his annual extended holidays.

Unbelievable replies from our so called fans, anything to beat the club with. So when Monk comes in talksport last week and says the club are due to speak to all out of contract players this week then nobody says anything, now an agent comes out and says this we get called a s hithouse of a club. Get real some of you. 

 

I personally think the squad management at this club has been nothing short of embarrasing for the last 3-4 seasons. This summer is just the latest saga. 

[Markowski77]

Don’t worry we are replacing him with Mason Bennet - as Monk says all about getting the right character 

 

what a f’ckin joke 

[S36 OWL]

If true, what a bizarre situation to put ourselves in. Also ties in with his house being up for rent.

Sounds like the agent is struggling to find him a club

 

That's what I thought. Dropping a big hint to other clubs. 

 

Maybe we have someone else lined up to replace FF.  Having said that I would keep FF on.

Regardless of its agent talk or not, it’s ******** poor that the manager, who has been sat on his arse for three months hasn’t even had the decency to pick up the phone and tell him what’s happening. But that seems to be how monk is. And before anyone starts blowing off about chansiri, then monk should have been demanding answers from him, if he is the promble. Time someone took some ownership of the situation.

Do you really think these agents don't have contact details of the people that matter at other clubs?

So they have to put a tweet out to 'alert' them to their players availability?

Isn't it Chansiri that deals with the contracts?

It's not about being starstruck but who are we going to get in on a free for less wages who is better? We could maintain his contract and not fall foul of ffp whilst still having a player on our books who has the potential to to be the best in the division at creating something from nothing. 

 

But yeah everyone be happy that we renew pelupessys contract and yet a player who can affect a game goes away for nothing. Zero. Diddly squat. 

 

That's why we're a shambles. 

 

FF is likely to be amongst a handful of top-earners at the club. He's no longer value for that. He WAS amongst the best in the division. Now all people can say about him is "On his day..."

 

When was his last day, and how often does his day come around? Aged past his best, and simply not the force he used to be for us. Changing club might reinvigorate him. I'd rather part ways and remember him for that first season.

[vulva]

I think he will play on. He does that heart sign with his hands and has kissed the badge for well over 2 years now. 
 

Im not worried.

We don't know if @YesWeCrann put a phone call into the players agents for an update, or whether the agent got in touch with Joe to give him an exclusive..

We might never know as I'm sure Joe will want to keep his exclusive exclusive

Someone told me that Fletcher has refused to play beyond his contract as well

I don't blame anybody for that

[bladeshater]

Surely the chairman and his team deal with contacts monk picks a team from the players available

I genuinely don’t know. But if I was the manager I would be kicking his door down wanting to know what’s going on if that’s was the case.

Another one for @YesWeCrann to investigate!

[TheEnchanter]

The whole idea that we even let a situation arise where 50% of our team were out of contract, without speaking to them this year, is very tying in the with fact that we completely bombed since the new year. Players just lost interest. It just wouldn't happen like that at clubs that meticulously managed their squad. Its a year on year proceess. To be successful you have to plan ahead.

What if you were a player that hadn't been spoken to yet and who doesn't know what is happening with his contracts?

[Plonk]

So it’s looking like after the first two games we will have barely no squad to pick from? Wonder if monk will ask Westwood hutch ff to help out.
