Inspector Lestrade Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Just now, Ronnie Starling said: Fletcher gives us presence when he is on the pitch but it's no good having players that spend half the season out injured. Forestieri great on his day but when was the last one? He isn't a team player either and sulks around the pitch. Fox has improved but he is easily replaceable. Agree but do you think we have the players to step in their shoes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frazzlebeak Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 We still need to get some kind of recruitment policy in situ as opposed to the usual clusterfuck we currently have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuhiu did...and we all still hate Nuhiu? Yep I think we could have guessed the two who would stay and help would be Lee and Atty. Proper club men. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosborough-owl Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 1 hour ago, vulva said: It doesn’t. It effectively says they refused a short term deal to protect their next long term deal. That’s my interpretation anyway. Tbf if there contracts are up and they have a big money move round the corner, you can see why they don’t sign. If I was a player and someone offered me big money I wouldn’t want to risk getting injured and not get the move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll probably be pi$$ed off that we’ve been unable to keep Fletcher? I think Reach could go as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Theboylangers Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Maybe the players weren't sure what league we'd be playing in and that influenced their decision. Who knows but not sad to see them go if they haven't got the bottle to stay and fight for another month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Fletcher - Very disappointed but the latest injury probably nailed the coffin lid shut, so I do understand. Probably the correct decision. Fox - he’s improved but the jury still can’t make a decision. If we are to play 352 then it’s less of an issue. FF - should have gone in 2017. What a waste of talent. He’s a fool.

Sgt Wednesday Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Fox was awful for a long time, yes, he had a decent end to last season and he's been ok but part of a poor team this season. His hard work fools people, he's terrible in possession. Penney will come good. Forestieri will be remembered by me for a fantastic season when he first signed, since then he's not been bothered, all about himself, see ya. Fletcher would be a big loss if he was just hitting 30, however, he's in the decline, let someone else over pay him. Young and hungry players with a potential resale from now please. Winnall is gash and Hutch broken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Hopefully Nuhiu will follow at the end of the season. Would like Lee to stay on a one year deal, if he manages to stay fit better now and the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s pretty obvious that on Saturday we still wanted Fox and Fletcher to extend for a month and accept the new contracts we have offered them. Including them on the bench was part of trying to get them to stay. He didn’t dump them because we wanted them to stay and there was still time to for them do so.

We could find one in non league for less than 100k. You never know, they might attack the ball. Kieran Lee looked a lot fitter against Forest, hopefully he stays fit and earns another year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonLeon Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 If clubs start announcing signings after the 1st it’ll be interesting to see how quickly someone moves for these 3. It’ll be a good indicator of whether we offered below par terms or just offered until the end of July. You’d have to imagine if we’ve offered crap terms then all 3 will have moves in mind to go early July. If they’ve only been offered terms until August you’d imagine they’ll be kicking around for a club until the start date of next season is concrete.

S1Owl Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) weren't they short contract extensions until the end of the season that they refused as opposed to new long term deal lol, like FF is going to get one of them. We need to cut wage bill but just shows they couldn't do that after being furlowed on 30g a week just to help out.. I know there's no loyalty or morals in football anymore so best well rid & they prob don't want to play in league 1 ffs Edited June 24, 2020 by S1Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I can’t imagine it will take long for these 3 to find new clubs. Personally hope Fletcher and FF don’t end up in the Championship though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are capable of bringing in a striker to score 13+ goals. Forestieri can easily be replaced and Palmer is a good at left back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
