LondonderryAir 66 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Goldson effectively held the club to ransom. We buckled and paid it. Hopefully, we show some restraint when it comes to the imposters Kent and Morelos. When they both realise they are Hull City and Blackburn Rovers quality, they are both in for a shock.

LondonderryAir 66 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 The ball was most definitely in our court with Goldson, but he still somehow managed to hit the jackpot. 4 more fucking years... 😭 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morelos isn’t that bad. He’s brilliant when he’s on form and focused. Just happens to be miles off it for long periods each season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
onefootwillie 1,518 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Reportedly Goldson had a clause in his original contract that if he extended the contract during it's original duration we would have had to pay Brighton £1m. I don't know if that's true but it might be that either or both Alfie and Kent have similar clauses in their present contracts as well . However Alfie may have extended his since he originally signed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise a rebuild. Atrocious planning. starofdavid and Hadron Collider 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No contracts signed and ready to go in Jan- and here we are fuck all money coming in for 2 players who we valued at a huge price !!! Boy ! have we fucked up good on this one. How would you have made them sign an extension? if they won’t, how would you make them leave a) in the absence of offers b) if they didn’t fancy signing for the clubs making offers?? the power rests with players nowadays and has done for a while We’ve picked up mcgregor, McLaughlin, balogun, Lundstram, Jack, Davis, arfield, sakala, Defoe, Lawrence and Souttar on frees and Aribo, Bassey and Kamara for under £600k kamara and goldson both entered the final year of their contract and then subsequently signed and I believe one or both of Kent and Alfredo will to but even if they don’t I genuinely can’t recall anyone of decent value who’s left for free when we wanted to keep them? we’ve won way more than we’ve lost in the out of contract market Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenoz 30,901 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Leaving Morelos on the bench for the entire 90 minutes against DU isn't helping matters to sign a new contract. KeyserSoze 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyem 238 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Alfredo and Kent should be playing every chance we get..... for two possible reasons. either 1. To encourage them to sign extensions to their contract. or 2, To put them in the shop window in order to get some sort of a fee for them in January.

NorthernLights 2,526 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I actually can’t fault them too much for it. Nobody was buying Morelos this summer because he was injured. So the last real opportunity was January, when he had 18 months left. If we’d done that then we’d basically be sacrificing the league. In between a rock and a hard place. Kent has had a bit of interest rumoured from Leeds over the years but don’t think anybody has actually offered for him, have they? If a player doesn’t want to sign a contract then you can’t force them to Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
