I don’t agree at all. He was in no way ‘awful’.

What’s to say he’s not considering his options?

And he's no way a proven Championship player. He's potentially one, but he won't be if he doesn't improve on his debut season.....i think he will BTW and we should keep him to battle for the LB spot

The thing is for no transfer fee we have a perfectly competent left back who can also play in midfield. Dare I say it a ‘utility’ player. Given we have no where near enough players in the first place, having Enob at the helm makes it a difficult enough job attracting new players, you’d have thought holding onto relatively easy to hold onto players would be a priority.

Why is he a utility player?
We don't want him, nige doesn't want him. Been saying it for ages. We want the compo. Nige used to go mental at him all the time.
We have no problem attracting players, this is a myth. We just aren't paying top money like boro etc.

He can play midfield and left back competently - that’s utility. He’s still better than Kingsley from what I’ve seen to date.

Nige only went mental as he hasn’t got a scooby doo with what he’s doing.

I've seen him play centremidfield for the reserve many times. He was poor.
Sorry even if we agreed, nige doesn't want him. That's it really.
If max had offers he'd have gone.
The management will be more gutted if he signs.

We’ll park it here. But given that we’ve failed to hang onto every single player we’ve attempted to hold onto tells you more about the actual problem. Why would Max have gone if he had offers? He may be deciding or waiting on the promise of more offers.

Are you Ehab?

Poor response mate. We get on well.

I've said it before on here. No one seriously expected us to keep Abel, mcgregor etc did they. I really don't think so.

Odubajo’s the clincher for me, if we can’t hold on to him, then we’re seriously messing things up.

I don’t think we had a chance of holding on to Dawson or Hernandez, Larsson apparently wants his daughter educated in a Swedish school, so little chance there either, McGregor would have stayed if we’d offered enough money, but we never going to.

I didn’t expect to keep most of them, but at least if we’d tied them some of them down about 18 months ago we wouldn’t be losing assets for £0.

Huddlestone would have stayed, Dawson would probably have stayed. Meyler would have stayed. If we had any ambition then that list would absolutely be longer.

I just don’t understand the continual Clark bashing. Totally unwarranted in my opinion, regardless of whether we are capable of keeping him or not. We’ve a proven record at failing to hang onto players - even players that want to stay.

It's a weird one. I don't get why he didn't play more reserve games though. I don't believe mcgregor would have unless it was ridiculous money.
It's where he always wanted to end up.

no ones bashing him. Just I don't think he's good enough. And what I watched from nige week in week out he wasn't happy with him either.

Agree with this - it seems more and more like there's nothing concrete on the table and the agent man is providing the oxygen of publicity.

If he was on the cusp of signing for St Elsewhere, surely we'd know the completion percentage by now.
