    Sounds a bit desperate to me.

    I think his wage expectations were also grossly over rated as well.

    No one will pay what he wants with the salary cap in place. I thought he was **** as well.

    Salary cap is only in League 1 and League 2, no Championship side seems to be willing to risk paying his demands. As we get nearer to the closing of the transfer window and his demands reduce - some league 1 team may tale a punt on him.

    MM gamble to run down his contract so he has a choice of offers, and a nice signing on fee hasn't paid off.
    Would have helped if his form when he played for us earlier this year wasn't so chronic...
    Didn't look quick enough for Championship.... He'll get a deal, but I suspect it won't be on anything like what he planned for.

    He was also very lazy. Didn’t see him tracking back and putting in a tackle.

    I don’t see him anywhere other than league 1. Not proven in the Championship.

    His attitude stank the place out - thought he was doing us a favour, **** him.

    Scunthorpe have signed a winger who goes by the magnificent name of Myles Hippolyte.

    The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.

    23 year old. Probably true then.
    Can't have too many CB's, Goalkeepers, RB's, strikers, wingers, ....... and 20 to 23 year olds.

    From the little I saw of him, he's worthless to any club. He has talent, but he's too up his own arse to work hard. That's no good to anyone.

    I dunno, he’s probably got enough tattoos to make it in the premier league, just needs to work on the football side of things.

    Statto, cup half empty alert ..... or just a reality check?

    First, just a quick reminder of what was (eventually) said at the end of last seasons debacle. It isn't verbatim, but it really isn't far off.

    We've learnt a lot of harsh lessons.
    We need to add experience, leadership, nous.
    We will get our business done early so that we make sure we are ready for an aggressive start.


    Then, here's what's happened in reality so far:

    Not including the loss of our 2 most influential players, Bowen and Grosicki, at the very end of the January transfer window ....

    Senior players DEPARTED:
    - 14 players (including Milinkovic who sort of doesn't count, other than it's another wage of the payroll)
    - 9 of which were 25 or over i.e. experienced

    Senior players IN
    - 5. (Yes, five, and that includes Arthur, assuming he comes straight into the 1st team squad)
    - 1 of which is 25 or over

    And here we are 5 days from the season start.

    Sobering? Not really a surprise (that it's just yet more empty rhetoric & bullshit)?

    Still, we shouldn't have too much trouble achieving Grant's aim for the season.

    Arguably weaker than last season in terms of numbers. Who would have thought? So glad I cancelled my membership.
