Summer window

It can’t be free? Blackburn couldn’t sign him three weeks ago because they couldn’t get the fee together until they sold someone, hardly sounds a free signing?

 

Seelt is only a week away apparently.

 

I definitely would have kept Danny batth until at least January until aji alese is fit and up and running because I can see him and Ballard been the 2 main ch. We all like o'nien but there is no way we go up with him playing ch all season.

 

Premier League market is shifting now so we hopefully see some movement

 

Everton about to announce a striker which might enable a Cannon move.

 

They are currently our best options off the bench

And Batth should definitely be starting

Maybe just maybe the club feeling he's not good enough is wrong? Speakman can be wrong

 

to Preston, for Saturday, which he'll score.

 

Being told you are getting sacked in a few month, and they wonder why his form has suffered
Sorry to say but if that was me I’d be another Jack Rodwell.

 

He can be, but he’s paid to make these decisions and I trust him

 

2 weeks ago after Mallorca and specific in they were attackers and "more" experienced. Then after Pools was touch and go before season opener.

 

Agreed, I think the best time to move players on can look like a surprise until the bigger picture is considered.

The wage bill is probably tight as well so selling a high earner could help towards the search for another centre forward/striker. Plus there are new contracts for players like Roberts and Clarke to do.

 

Exactly then nothing !! No wonder TM is getting pissed off.

 

He’s injured apparently

 

That’s not spin, that is the reason.

 

Not really. They want to use his wages elsewhere and won't give the player the security he wants.

I feel it's silly risk letting him go. Very silly.

 

That’s not right or true. He wants to go. His family isn’t up here and the fact he can’t drive makes it very difficult for him.

Not to be an arse but him not being able to drive was surely a decision he made himself?

 

I was speaking to a guy at work who is in the same friends group at batth (he did say he isnt really close to him but they chat occasionally as they grew up together and have the same mates). Said hes heard he is really homesick n is missing his family, so wont sign a new deal with us. He did say his info was 2nd hand but had come from one of batths best mates

He did also say that batth loves the club but is just unsettled with being away from his family a lot

The guy isnt the type to make stuff up so hes def passed it on in good faith

Would make sense as surely we wouldnt want to lose him just yet without knowing if the 2 new lads are ready for 1st team football

 

He wants to go because he was told he wouldnt be getting a contract here. Other stuff is fair, but stems from contract and security.
