what the issue with given Weimann a new deal? he is goal threat, can play a different attacking positions. another good squad player option

To be fair, I was going to say the first goal against Watford, said at the time, Hedges did well there.

Absolutely.

Personally see it as cost cutting, they could have triggered an extension and tried to sell for money, yet letting him leave for free.

At least they have seen the obvious in Vale. Not good enough by a long way.

Markanday shouldn't have a problem finding a club in league 1/2. Did well at Chesterfield and not breaking into a team fighting for promotion in league 1 doesn't necessarily mean he can't cut it at that level. Surprised we didn't try getting £100k or so for him.

Warchest

Hang on a minute, thought Markanday, as the better player, was going to be the Dolan replacement?

100%. Don't care what anyone does, but I'd still poke at my friends if they'd 'diehard' supporters of one club but throw on a shirt from another in the same country. My nephew lives in London, 'supports' City, but also has a soft spot for United, Liverpool, and Arsenal...🙄 Taking him to watch Portsmouth v Rovers this season didn't do a lot to convert him.

I suspect Weimann’s new contract will be a reduced-wage token gesture.

You know you are scraping the barrel when he has scored only one and assisted only two, that you are trying to make him seem like a good attacking player by highlighting simple passes well before the actual goal was scored.

A reminder that, forgotten amongst the comedic failure to press send on McGuire, was another sign that Venkys had pulled the plug.

Have we been ruthless? Id argue ruthless would have been getting shut of Hedges and also on the back of his age and current injury status, not offering Weimann another year.

Cantwell goal against Watford in the home game, his pass to Dolan who pass to Ohashi to cross for Cantwell to finish https://x.com/garysmith2301/status/1916150816748011598 Hedges's pass to Woodrow who pass to Dolan the winner at Sunderland https://x.com/Witchwalker70/status/1914327228483072277 Hedges's pass to Ohashi for the winner at Luton and what a lovely weight pass https://x.com/Witchwalker70/status/1911074914070671535

We arent a serious club anymore.

Not suitably impressed by him running a bit and passing the ball wide in the build up to a goal? Its just chronically low standards that sadly weve naturally got now whereby we look at an attacking player who is so poor in attacking positions and give him a new deal because its cheaper to do, its easier to do and we fear getting someone even less effective.

Ruthless, agree with the majority of the decisions. Possibly would have kept Markanday as back up, but hasn’t shown enough at championship level to warrant another contract.

Watford, duh

You forgot to mention he's happy to be here because he's playing a level above his natural one.

Name another goal he was involved with.

As if this post is still up

poor val,he`s not had the summer budget downgrade yet,1/1 he`ll walk away at the end of january

Hope that they’ve offered Batth a proper contract and they’ve not tried to lowball him. Slightly worrying they’ve not announced him as signing on if they’ve offered a contract already.

Or maybe Broughton and other staff had done all that was needed, told the media boys to release it but then Venkys and their slippery stooges pulled the plug.

everyone thought the paperwork had gone through, it hadn't.
