Changing Times 12,218 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 The same thing will be happening with most players about now I'd imagine. Anyone out of contract, anyone who just fancies a move, even some who have no idea their name is being offered around probably. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

He wanted to stay but by that time other clubs showed an interest. Big respect for Warnock, says if he was a boro fan he'd be really excited for the future especially with out youth coming through. Says some of the stuff from the press written about him and other players at the club is bull. Squad and dressing room is fantastic. Made freinds for life up here and will come watch when he can. He said he is a bit disappointed as he would of liked to have stayed here. Pretty much confirmed Watford move which came about after us taking to long to offer him a contract. Said people questioning his commitment are wrong he desperately wanted to play when he came back from his injury. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

DurhamRed 2,043 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 He wanted to stay until he got a better offer elsewhere is clearly a man just in it for the money 21 minutes ago, wilsoncgp said: To be fair, if we weren't the first ones in the door to sign him up then it's our own fault he decided to leave.

Have to ask ourselves in this situation, if you have a player under contract who you want to keep, why would you tell him to wait until the point at which he could reasonably be expected to start sniffing out a new contract and, in the case of clubs outside our nation, actually be able to speak to the player legitimately. Whether you wanted Fletcher to stay or move on, it doesn't take away how bloody amateur our club is at handling contract situations. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Why do you think we told him to do that? Link to post Share on other sites
chickenlunch 315 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 he's no great loss. I'm glad to see him gone tbh. Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, until we replace him he is quite a big loss as there's no striker there to actually step in. But either way, if the club wanted to keep him but told him to wait that long for a contract, it's on us and not him that he left. Link to post Share on other sites

I guess if they were worried about long term prognosis that could have influenced thinking. After all if he had got him contracted for another 3 or 4 years and he hadn’t recovered properly, then everyone would be criticising the club. You can understand them being cautious until they had definite news of recovery - even if type of injury wasn’t usually a long term issue. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Mendes gomes interest has cooled along with quite a few championship clubs as Morecambe want close £2million. They wanted £1.5 in January but have since exercised their 1year option in his contract. Bolasie deal way way way off. Talks have begun and he's open to coming back but his agent is touting him round everywhere as you would expect. Wanting a 2year contract with 30k wages which we simply can't afford. Spence wants to leave again and it's likely he's going to be sold. 5 3 Link to post Share on other sites
