Jones I could understand paying a bit over the odds for. But doing that for Watson who one purple spell aside has been beyond average for us, would be lunacy. Revoke offer asap in my opinion and bring in players who want to play for the club.
Yep, deadline was the end of last week. JB’s first big test … Groundhog Day or Brave New World? Tell them to sod off JB. If the offer isn’t good enough for them, move on. Yeh, I know the cliched bollocks about a footballer players career being short but here’s some more s*** sayings for JB/LJ/RW to ponder on - and then do the right thing. “a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush” “Loyalty is a 2 way street” “The weak wait while the winner acts” “Fortune favours the bold” “Action may not always bring happiness but there is no happiness without action” And my favourite from Norma Jean herself … “A woman doesn’t need anyone that doesn’t need her!” You know what you’ve got to do JB - pull the trigger! |

Good stuff, I’ll have a wild stab in the dark and say he isn’t going to join? |

We made the fatal error of waiting on Vadaine to make up his mind. And cannot do that again. |

One of the things that stuck in my mind about Chris Wilder was he liked to get his business done early so the squad was settled before the season kicked off and they had a full pre-season to get to know each other.
How often do we do that and how often are we successful?
Other than financially I dont see any benefit to waiting so long get players signed on. One or two targets maybe but if you need to bring in numbers then you need to conclude deals asap.
Thats through my uneducated fan tinted glasses

Transfer window opens on Wednesdau if I'm not mistaken so might see some action soon...not that I'm holding my breath, just wishful thinking |

They are still under contract until the end of the month so could still sign the deal. Agents thinking they can get players a better deal in L1 or L2 must be mad. No clubs really have any money to pay over the top in wages. Sometimes its better the devil you know |

There's no need for JB to be a drama queen about them signing. Once the deadline has passed the club will no doubt look for other players. If the players do then ask to return I'm sure they will look at revised contracts in the light of the extended time it took them to respond, assuming of course no decent replacements have been signed in the meantime

i don’t think you will find anyone hanging around waiting for decisions once the time passes for them to commit .
You have to look a bit deeper than that .
The club want to sell season tickets and if you announce your 2 best players are leaving too early people will not renew .
Especially when it dawns that the replacements are coming from other clubs’ reject list.
We simply cannot compete with the Salfords and Blackpools of this world and so players will leave .
I don’t mean to be negative but i don’t think people realise the level we compete at .

Forgot about the contract x2 does not expire to end of June. Seems most of us let our expert views run way ahead! Jones signed when he was no great shakes in first spell so we gave him a chance ; now we need him😔. If we could keep the defence together plus Watson we might do ok! You Still think Jones is the king pin for us? |

You seriously think season ticker holders are waiting to see if Jones and Watson resign,before renewing? |

Jones is the one we need to keep. We don't want to see another bolger situation |

We seem to be in the rather unfortunate position of having players we don’t want on longer term contracts and players we do on shorter term ones. I think that’s called backing the wrong horse.

Yep, same as always. This time last year people were saying how good KC was as spotting talent. Yet we lost a top striker in Oliver because he only came in on a 1 year deal, but had to keep Warburton who was given 2 (or was it 3). Whatever, he got that one arse about face

I think this proves the step up from non league to the EFL. In the last few years we have taken a gamble on Warburton, Korboa, Lobjot, Herbert no of which have made the grade. Courtney Herbert can be seen playing Sunday Morning Football for Standards Leap |
