Ambition to play in China.....shouldnt that say ambition to line his pockets!! No serious footballer has ambition to play in China!!
I agree it was to line his pockets no doubt about it, he believes his playing days are numbered at 27 and saw China as his last pay day.
 
Depends what's been offered.
What after getting a 500 grand signing on fee from us. A year where he didn't t kick a ball on PL wages at twenty or twenty five grand a week. Then a year on around fifteen grand a week, still not kicking a ball in anger.
I think he should show some gratitude to the club and fans.

Five grand a week?

He'd be the first choice rb, not that we've got another one, so...

What's Toral, Irvine etc on?
 
To be honest do we really need much knowledge? Just an educated guess would conclude that the contracts offered aren't lucrative enough to keep playing staff at the club a la Davies and Huddlestone. Or do you believe the Allams are doing their utmost to retain the services of the high earners, or as I believe it is a badly managed PR stunt to save face and alleviate further hatred towards them?
You must know someone at the club if you know moses as already rejected the contract offer

I've got no idea what any of them are on, nor do I know what they've been offered, neither do you, so neither of us is in a position to judge anyone.

Awww shame you know **** all then. What do weirdos get out of pretending they know stuff.

It's disturbing.

Not pretending petal, same as I doubt you are pretending to believe the Allams are trying their utmost to financially support the club now, or do you, I thought the Allam sympathisers were dying out

It was time for Davies to move on and as for Hudds he stated he would have accepted the contract had it been offered sooner.

Players move on from any club, players contracts run out at clubs it's how football works. Realistically who out of the out of contract players would you really wish to keep?
 
The Tigers have offered new deals to four players who are due to see their contracts with the Club expire this summer.

Max Clark, Abel Hernandez, Seb Larsson and Moses Odubajo have all been offered the chance to remain a part of Head Coach Nigel Adkins’ squad and are currently considering their options.

Allan McGregor was another offered a new deal, although he opted to return to Glasgow Rangers earlier this week.

The Club is also currently in discussions with Michael Dawson regarding his future, however we can confirm that David Meyler will leave the KCOM Stadium this summer when his current contract expires. Meyler, who initially joined on loan from Sunderland in 2012, made 191 appearances in black and amber, winning two promotions to the Premier League and appearing in the 2014 FA Cup Final.

We would like to thank David for the magnificent service he has given to us and wish him well for the future.

Also leaving the Club this summer are Academy graduates Greg Luer, Greg Olley and Josh Clackstone. Striker Luer made nine senior appearances after making his debut on the opening day of the 2015/16 season, whilst Olley appeared in two League Cup ties. Clackstone’s only senior appearance came in the cup defeat at Doncaster Rovers at the start of 2017/18.

We wish all three players well for the future and thank them for their efforts during their time at the KCOM Stadium.

Whilst those three young players depart, a number of others will be keen to take their opportunity after the Tigers’ Academy announced its retained list for the 2018/19 season.

Five of the current crop of second year Scholars have signed first professional contracts for next season with Josh Thacker, Elliot Holmes, Charlie Andrew, Max Sheaf and Ahmed Salam all stepping up to the Under-23 Development Squad on a full-time basis.

However, Mason Wilson-Rhiney will be allowed to leave the Academy following the expiry of his Scholarship deal.

Robbie McKenzie, Tyler Hamilton, Billy Chadwick and Keane Lewis-Potter are already under contract to be part of the Development Squad for 2018/19, whilst Adam Curry and Lewis Ritson have agreed new one-year deals.

However, the following players will see their time with the Club come to an end when their current contracts expire: James Yates, Will Annan, Ellis Barkworth, Charlie Dunkerley, Jonathan Saltmer, Tom Dyson, Liam Edwards, Jonathan Edwards and Ben Hinchliffe.

The Academy would like to thank those players released for their services, commitment and dedication during their time at the Club, whilst also wishing them every success for the future.

Hee hee trollys rattled.

So your role at the club is?? You sit in on the meetings?

You know the derisory offers for wages so it stands to reason you know what the others are on. Surely?

Just because we may not be offering Abel 40k a week doesn't mean we haven't offered him a good championship level contract, if a club like Leeds or anyone for that matter wants to pay players that in the champ then crack on, I'm just glad we arnt

Rattled haha far from it, I'm not the one getting touchy when a poster knows a little bit of info and decides to share. It's bewildering how it upsets some on the board when a new member decides to share what they know. I seem to remember my first post 2 weeks ago regarding Abel going to Leeds as outlandish and the laughable quips that ensued. Happy to sit back again and watch you all guessing, heaven forbid anybody comes on in the future who happens to have a reliable source..... I will await the quips about being on the sauce

Agree mostly but you have to factor in the salary vs the state of the club no matter the wage would you want to be part of this as a player?

I’d definitely have preferred to keep Hernandez, Meyler, Larsson and Odubajo, though I don’t think there was a chance of Abel staying.
