Thought he came in and did a very decent job without much team time under his belt. Threw himself into blocking several shots and looked comfortable. No complaints and agree that we are lucky to have him on the bench.0
-
Thought he defended quite well, threw himself at a few balls which is always nice to see.Did think he had his arms draped over Brentford players a little too often, but he seemed to get away with most of it.0
-
think he played a big chance in their late miss - Hamer certainly congratulated him afte Donaldson shot wide.

He got recalled to Burnley and has had his contract terminated by mutual consent, not sure if he will sign perm for free.....or we go for Osbourne from the Bees as he is now transfer listed
Haven's seen Osbourne play - anyone rate him ??0 -
This is on the Burnley Official site:-

I supppose the danger is that if he is not good enough for Burnley in the championship that he won't be good enough for us if we get promoted, so the alleged 18 month contract could turn out to be a dead weight round our necks for 12 months0

Looks like we now need to go and bring in another CB, if not Cort, someone else. Think it will all depend on whether or not Cort would be happy to sign as a back up or fancy his chances on getting 1st team football elsewhere.
Think that Taylor maybe got the nod as it's more important to keep your own players happy, but if he signs for us then that's different....................0 -
Three CBs isn't enough to be going on with though. We were looking for another CB when we had Cort so I wouldn't be surprised if Powell was looking to sign both Cort and Osbourne0

I think your right Kap , it could be a concern further down the line?

Seems bizarre that they terminated his contract with 18 months to go. Surely they could have sold him in the summer?0

But who'd be crazy enough to have him.......................oh, wait...........0 -
I think Preston terminated Hayes's contract in the summer even though it was well known we were in talks with him.0

can see the headline now...
Cort in as Doc leaves0 -
Surely as he has been a decent squad member, we will just offer him a contract. Would be difficult to find better to sit on the bench IMO.0

Who says he will be happy sitting on the bench? He's done that for the best part of 2 seasons.
He's a free agent, he won't get first team football regularly with us. I reckon he will be off elsewhere.0 -
Why didn't he go on loan elsewhere? Surely it is down to who offers him the best deal.0

He signed in August. At that point our CB partnership wasn't settled. It is now and he isn't one of the two. No idea if we can do any better for a bit part player. But that is irrelevant. Its about him and imo he won't sign a deal with us.0 -
He maybe corting other offers!0

A player is not going to agree to the termination of an 18 month contract unless he knows he has a firm alternative option - in this case that must be us. However, I suppose that doesn't stop him looking around too, but my bet is that he will sign for us, and it will be an 18 month deal as that is what he had. I'd be happy with that outcome.0

That's what I think. We've already engineered this type of things a few times in the last year or so. I can't recall them all, but pretty sure we did this for Paul Hayes & Kyel Reid. We get their clubs to cancel the contract (to get them off the wage bill), the player agrees, as he signs a new one with us. Everyone's happy.0 -
Few weeks ago Crawley said we were going to sign Cort on a permanent deal, reckon that will happen before Saturday0

According to some Exeter fans Taylor wasn't good enough for League one, SW fans thought that Morrison was no good either...

Headline perhaps: "Charlton Cort Out" ?0

This was how we got Matt Spring; Luton cancelled his contract &he signed for us on a free.A player is not going to agree to the termination of an 18 month contract unless he knows he has a firm alternative option - in this case that must be us.

sign him up.0

sign him up.
YE!0 -
at his age he must be looking for a regular first team place .. he is not going to get that with us0

Don't disagree and the management know better, he has however not forced his way into the team, whereas Powell has made changes to winning teams before to improve the starting 11. So he can't not only get into a championship club, he can't get into a div one club either. I expect hi to come and be on an 18 month contract but would prefer a six month one with options.I supppose the danger is that if he is not good enough for Burnley in the championship that he won't be good enough for us if we get promoted, so the alleged 18 month contract could turn out to be a dead weight round our necks for 12 months
