You need a decent U23 squad. You might only get a couple of them graduating to the first team squad, but they won't even do that if they are playing in a poor team.

The problem with the older fringe players is that, unlike the U23's, they get no competitive game time.

A lot of kids stand out in their age groups but are often overtaken as other kids grow beyond them. That's a general comment as I know nothing about this lad, but remember Hyam came in as a development player

That's not boring, it's realistic. We need to hang on until we get the " fringe players who are never going to play" off the books and release wages to the budget

He won't need to pass a medical for the amount of minutes he would play

Half is better than us having to pay his full wage for zero appearances

I think this may be a season for hanging on.

A talented player who hasn't fulfilled his promise ......... surely we wouldn't sign such a player..............

I agree that the quality of training facilities might attract or put off potential signings, but surely we all know that the owners don't invest, it comes out of the club's revenue

Facilities do look low-key but money spent on facilities is money not available for the playing budget

So the game of "Spot the Unknown Player" is about to start..........

If they have decided he's not for them, and they still owe an installment, it might be a good deal for both club's if they gave him back and we waived the outstanding payments. Especially if we would have to spend more on someone else than they owe us.

I think there's one in Liverpool but there are two other guys with them

There's a lot of doom and gloom on here based on speculation from people who don't actually know anything

Regrettably, having Kelley and Eccles fit again may not be along term benefit, given their history

The problem now, with SISU / Fisher history, is that so many fans will not accept anything that they do now as being right for the club

They could probably afford him better than we could but that's not the point

Don't believe it, but if he seriously is considering an offer from Middlesbrough then the football world's opinion of him is a lot lower than ours, if that's his only option

Is that a subsequent statement? I only saw the tweet which simply confirmed he had left

That would be a decent move. The club's statement was a bit curt. None of the usual ".....thanks and wish him well........"
