Again, nobody is saying we shouldn’t keep him. I give in, discussing logical business strategy on Owlstalk is like discussing Covid treatment with Donald Trump.

Windass is hardly the most selfless of players and quite often plays with his head down. 1 year deal for me. Pretty standard at this level and age. That’s why I said he would provide assists for Windass - Gregory gets a goal every 2 games according to BBC stats so that makes him a 20 plus goal a season striker if fit but obviously he won’t play every game but still think he’s definitely worth the risk and if Windass plays we won’t have to just rely on him. He also holds the ball up well and brings the rest of the team into the game a bit like Hooper and McLean did. He also scores goals at important times. No brainier for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvin Parsnip Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I know who I would rather have between Gregory and Windass going on injury record and goals per game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the very reason that we could easily replace him and that he is 34 and no clubs in English football offer 34 year olds two year contracts - is why it’s just nonsensical rubbish. With who ?

Neon Nick Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Like to see them both back for next Season, those 2 up front, with Bannan right behind them. Windass really doesn't have a perpetual injury record, he caught a bad one last Season, but Players can, and do, recover from such injuries.

Exactly this mate, I don’t mind replacing him with a younger guy who’s proven to do the same. However, I would like us to get a younger guy with similar attributes (a bit more pace) and get Gregory to show them the desire and commitment it takes to make that talent work for them at this level. We need to keep Lee and add to it in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shetland Owl Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 give Gregory a two year contract, we must get someone to play at the side of him. Windass could play wide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have him for this season, if we still want him at the end of the season we can offer him another contract then. He’s unlikely to get a better offer than us. Nobody in The Champiinship will be rushing in for him and if we are still in League One we are more attractive than all the rest. As mentioned in a later reply. Maybe it is. Can we afford to have Lee Gregory's agent touting him about in Jan for the summer when we have a promotion to achieve? When the worst case scenario is we have a decent striker to bring off the bench in the Championship? 100% agree Gregory is short term - but promotion next season is not a given.

You’re not being logical though mate, your argument is solid if you are listing realistic replacements. You are not though and that’s the issue for me personally. Let just give him a contract and get some guys we can get to learn of him. If it turns out they can do better and Gregory’s on the bench for the second season who cares? , he’s not really about pace so he will still provide an extra goal scoring threat from the bench in games where we need a goal. It’s an absolute no brainer. Sometimes a player just fits and Lee Gregory fits mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are three players that scored more than him in League One last season that are all out of contract as we speak. (Stockton, May, Smith) Its the same every year.

Mr Farrell Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 He's got one more season in him but needs more support and a longer term replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wednesday_Jack Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 20 hours ago, JemmoJemoJemmo said: He’s a good League One striker that’s not quite cut it in The Championship. Lets not overplay it in our typical fashion. He has a year left on his contract and he’s 34 at the start of this season. No need to offer him a longer contract. The harsh reality is that at the start of the season after he’ll be 35. If he decides to leave he’d be very easily replaced regardless of our division. who is this replacement who is east to get and replaced him?? every club outside the top 6 want a proven goal scorer!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d hope that if we really wanted them we could attract Cheltenham and Morecambe players. As it is, it looks like we have money to spend which gives us even more options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
