I've read all the comments re JFC- that it's not that simple, we won't let him prove himself, we may have to pay somebody to play him.
Which completely answers my point.
Why sign him again in the first place because we don't want him and we don't appear to be able to sell him!!!
Shouldn't have given him a new contract when he was injured in the first place imo. Might have been harsh but we wouldn't be in this position (trying to recoup money we've spent on rehabilitation) in that case. Wouldn't have had a problem letting him use our facilities to get fit but essentially we've spent over 12 months treading water & now cant get him off our books.
If you did that no one would play for the last month, or more, before their contracts run out and you would be the first to moan about it.
Hundreds of players play whilst they are in the last months of their contracts.
As I said, unpopular thinking, but why give a new contract to a player who is injured.
Because everyone does it, else no one would play...
In the lower leagues you would end up with 14 year olds making up the numbers from March and you would be moaning.
This is exactly why Lyle Taylor didn't play for us. Would trust Paul Elliottttt to do the right thing by you?
Your argument is Taylor was right, and you have spent 2 years slagging him off. Cake and eat it?
Never expected Bogle and Makienok to be mentioned on here as possible signings.
Did you not? If they didn't score against us or play for us once then this forum doesn't even know what a footballer is
Fair point, though it's a little different this year. We usually only have 3 or 4 names that are must sign players who have never played for us, but this summer we had Stockton, May, McKirdy, Simpson and the entire Swindon squad.

Exactly. Two players who have scored against us and two players who played for Swindon under Garner, which at this point is basically the same thing as playing for us. People make fun of the black box but if we were in charge of it it would just shriek the names of people who looked a little bit better than Gunter at The Valley, which is everyone who played against us. Genuinely expecting someone to ask if we think Lawrie Wilson could be converted to a left sided centre back before the window closes.

I agreed with the contract extension last season as he got injured playing for us but why take up the option this summer? Just doesn’t make sense.
any possibility that league cup prize money and a home draw v a top 6 prem side (particularly if it gets televised) could potentially change the budget enough to make a difference or just wishful thinking?

Isn't the prize money for winning the league cup 100k?

i think so far we are on prize money wise for about 20k but i was more leaning towards the home draw v top 6 and tv money which we would potentially know before the transfer window shuts.

That and all the Carabao you could ever want to drink

Rather than that have to drink Carling, need to get back to free TVs from Rumberlows IMO

I think cup gates are split 50/50 so an away game would be better for that. Away game to one of the big teams and on TV might make a small difference but the games in November so more likely to impact January I’d guess

The game is November yes but the draw is tomorrow - my thought was potentially a plum top 6 draw is going to be an unexpected financial boost either way. I guess it might be longer til we find out any potential TV ties though.

Croydon born, now 34 but was a regular for Forest last season.
Doesn't fit the young player with sell on potential model but if you want some experience he could be the man.
No idea if he can play Garnerball but he can score goals.
Thank goodness
