We offered Pelupessy a 1 year extension in the summer. Why? When we could have offered Shaw a new two year deal. I hazard a guess that Shaw would have signed it in the summer.

Is there a genuine interest from celtic or is it his agent trying to bump up a contract offer? I’d wager there’s a few more clubs than just Celtic, but they are the biggest hitters and seem further along in the process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because a player hasn't signed a new contract it doesn't mean we haven't offered one. As for it being pointless to have the academy: We still get compensation plus a sell-on clause (albeit less than a full transfer) and we also get development sell-on clauses from any transfer before a certain age I believe. So even after he moved for the 3rd, 4th or 5th time, we would get a (diminishing) fee as well. Hardly pointless. How much does the academy cost us?

Guest Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I think you’ve got to remember, regardless of anything , Celtic will blow us out of the water wages wise no matter what we put infront of him And nobody needs any hints/tips as to what his advisors will be telling him It is what it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be VERY concerned that yet again the club has failed to tie down the contract of a promising young player. A player who we could have sold for good money further down the line. This is the another indication that the chairman is out of his depth. And more worryingly hasn’t learnt from the first time this happened. I don't think he'll be the only one. It appears they've not tied any of these youngsters down who are coming out of contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 He’s daft if he goes to Celtic, but that’s modern day football He will be ‘advised’ to chase the money, it’s that simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) Taking the fact away that he’s a Wednesday fan, can anyone blame him for moving? Ask yourself this, if you were a Wednesday fan playing for the club, and were privy to all the mess we find ourselves in, would you stay? I’d be off like a rocket Edited January 28, 2021 by FreshOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnsleyOwl96 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 One of those just rather either way it was sorted , it’s already been going on for a while , massively hope he stays , first sign of a proper talent for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jack Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 35 minutes ago, markg said: I agree in terms of there is no guarantee that he will make it and the player going in itself might not be the end of the world. I think that the issue is that it is another example of us not building anything sustainable. Ideally he would have been tied down to a longer contract earlier on, made a few appearances and got rave reviews. We then sell to a club offering a decent amount and re-invest the money. It's what clubs in our current position do and should be doing in the current climate. The club may not exist if we go down and dont think Shaw going will make a difference in the long run. We are in this mess because we have failed to sell on players. I agree it dont look good but who can blame him and furthermore we have no idea what his agent has been demanding. Think though going north of the border my fill his wallet but dont think it will do much for his development. If he goes good luck to him but he would be better off with a club in the championship imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who’s to say he won’t break into their first team? He might just prove you wrong. He’s had no trouble settling into ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we could have offered Shaw a new two year deal. I hazard a guess that Shaw would have signed it in the summer. Because Pelupessy was a first team squad member at the time and Shaw was a player who may or may not have gone on to progress in the first team. There is alot of why didn't we offer him this and that last year and why didn't we see this coming. My guess is nobody thought he would go on to have the impact he has had in the first team. So like all the other previous times why would you sign up someone that hasn't played in the first team yet that might not be any good. More unlucky on our part that he has had the brilliant few months and has attracted the interest he has, rather than poor planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
