I'd love to be able to bring him in ahead of the European games as I think he could make a big difference, but at the moment that seems to be looking unlikely. Looking at how our squad's shaping up so far I'd say we look stronger at the back with Muller and Devine now here, but at the other end we've lost Middleton, Conway and Melamed who all proved to be important with scoring or providing goals at various points of last season. From looking at that, and also watching the Preston game, my main worry for next season would be that we're still going to find it a struggle to score goals without some good attacking additions. I'd say there's still two attacking players to come in tbh, plenty of time to make sure they're the right ones for us. 4 hours ago, mainstand said: Think Mr Griffiths from Celtic could be a free shortly I'd be devastated if we signed him.

Linky Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 I think we're waiting on Middleton. Griffiths wouldn't sign for us. Given the current situation with him, I wonder if he'd be looking for a season loan abroad to be out of the spotlight for a bit. Melamed is on trial at Grimsby which is a pretty huge drop. Not sure what he's thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore I would be looking for twice that. But as you say the player and agent can force a move or threaten to sign pre contract in January and we get nothing. As has been said before fine balancing act. Would like it resolved sooner rather than later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he would get more money, but realistically he could be getting a current club already based on the last 6 months and he is the same at the start of this season, then he would surely get a championship level club coming in for him in January. It may be that the club look at a reasonable offer on the table for a player with less than 12 months on his contract and think better to take the cash and use to protect other assets than hope Rooney plays like the 2nd half of last season. I think for him, he would regret going there. Not because he wouldn't do well, but I'm not sure it is the right club for him and he'd be better served holding out for better. End of the day though, he was at ICT a year ago and to probably quadruple his wages from then and double them from now, would be a lot for a youngish guy to turn down. He'd do well to have a conversation with Liam Craig and MOH..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
