He's really not that good. He's a good player and I'd like him to stay but he's not good enough to do that for.
Well, he might we ll do if it was a rolling weekly deal which meant he was technically under contract but with no commitment blocking him from leaving if he wanted to....
Because he's a talented player and even if he plays a couple of games and then leaves it'll be worth it if his contributions helps us get points on the board.

He has already agreed terms with a Premier League club. He breaks his leg on saturday?
Is it confirmed he has agreed terms?
I think he was just using it as an example of why he wouldn't do it.
the issue is him messing about is affecting us now. I wish him the best, he's made the best of limited talent and will get a good move.Good luck GT where ever you end up.
Thanks for the 100% effort you always put in wearing the shirt.
I hope you don't see this as you will have read a lot of posts from imbeciles unnecessarily slagging you off.
Yes though its certain he will have agreed something with them already if the club have rejected the offer
But is it him messing us about or can the clubs not get there acts together?the issue is him messing about is affecting us now. I wish him the best, he's made the best of limited talent and will get a good move.
Him just hanging about is souring it a little. Surely a quiet word to Robins to say he's off so we can use that budget on someone else

Could it be another camwell situation where there is no actual bid?
No but right now he'd be in my first choice XI and therefore would start if he was available, under contract and fit.Is he really that good that he can just stroll in here and there for a game and make a difference?
I'd much rather play somebody committed than upset the balance of the team to fit somebody in who is hardly a superstar. It didn't even work with Joe Cole.
It's not like drafting a ringer in for Sunday league when they haven't got a semi pro game where they will totally boss it and score 7 goals.
His agent doing a bit of last minute phoning down the list of all PL, Championship and League 1 clubs probably.You'd think something is holding him up.
He would need to play to get fit, taking the place of somebody committed and a full pre season. Like Cole didNo but right now he'd be in my first choice XI and therefore would start if he was available, under contract and fit.
Why would he be ineligible if we had him on a short term deal e.g. weekly rolling contract?
If he wanted to leave he'd go, if he wanted to stay he'd sign.

He needs to think of himself and himself only
So just let it go to tribunal thenLeicester can hold out because they hold all of the cards here. Thomas isn't joining them to go into the first team so it makes no difference to them if they sign him today or on 1st Sept. We're trying to play hardball with the fee but they know we will become increasingly twitchy as the month drags on and will probably snap their hand off if they come back in with their original offer.
I guess the concern with that would be how long it takes. It could be the difference between bringing in a couple of signings now and waiting until January.So just let it go to tribunal then
What if Leicester City now think 'actually he's not worth it, we'll put this money towards developing the next Chilwell' and so withdraw any offering to Thomas.
We are then left with a player who will continue to dick about trying to find other clubs and then use CCFC as a last resort to sign the contract offered to him, and who for probably the first two months of the campaign will be behind in terms of fitness yet picking up better wages.
The rule needs to be changed in so far as the new contract offer can be withdrawn by the club once the player has passed the end of the original contract, yet compensation still owed due to having made the offer. CCFC could be waiting another month now to get in a much needed striker because of all of this.
I wouldn't want city paying for a 34 year old. If he came for free then fair enough but I'd rather see them going for someone younger if there is money to play with.I think Thomas goes then Mr Baker will be in, money from Thomas used to pay up his contract at Pompey?
George Thomas is effectively a free agent now so can sign for somebody outside of the window can't he?
