Guest Musttryharder Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 11 hours ago, JemmoJemoJemmo said: I don’t have an issue with his age I have an issue with offering him a longer contract at this stage or “building the entire team around him”. However, nothing in football is binary. If he was so outstanding that he was the best goalscorer in the division and thereby single-handedly giving you a right shot at automatic promotion, I’d get the argument to make sure that the team was set up this season to play almost exclusively to his strengths. He’s not. He’s a good player, one of the better forwards in the division, but as ever much of our fan base has talked him up to a level beyond reality. I dont think I implied giving him a longer contract. I dont think I implied either to build the team around him. I dont think he is a good player in this league, I think he is an excellent player in this league. Whilst he can be in the top 8 leading goal scorers then like I said its a no brainer. I also didnt say not to bring anyone else in. If by saying he is an excellent player in this league and a consistant goal scorer then yes, I am talking him up. He as showed his worth at SWFC.

Bluesteel. Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 He could have a few years in him. Reminds me of billy sharp in many ways 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A E Neuman NYowl Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 I think the thing about Gregory maybe because he came into the professional game later and has probably never been a massive wage earner he still looks like he has the hunger to succeed. His performances and the workload he put in after he came back from injury were very impressive. I hope he is here next season, playing alongside a Smith type striker to share some of the workload I think he would do really well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. We’ll replace him with a 36 year old .

darra Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Give him another year as a bit of a just in case. How many times do you hear about us, and other teams, that they have a player lined up, definite signing then another club steps in at the last minute and signs them. If he did go who are our recognised strikers? Windass and Paterson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much will he cost?? also Gregory scored more league goals in less appearances…not saying Gregory is better or vice versa but looking at stats I would say an “easy replacement” isn’t that easy to get to be honest.

ruscol85 Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Does he have any ‘options’ on his contract? Either for us or for him? Would that be an acceptable middle ground? Slightly better terms with an option to extend? Either way, don’t want to lose him this summer certainly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt very much that 15 goals + strikers are easy to replace at any level. Would think adding a further year deal would suit both parties. Has got that extra bit of class at league 1 level and hopefully would be a decent backup for a last year in the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it is, it looks like we have money to spend which gives us even more options. Lots of position's need strengthening, centre half, defensive centre mid , goalkeeper, as well as forward line. So can not blow our budget on one forward. Not saying that's what you are implying but the budget will have to be shared across various roles.

We should know what offers players we can accept or try and get more. but i suspect very little of this happens under DC as with £20m losses season in season out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
