razza699 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) Opportunity missed. He clearly wasnt happy here. I imagine being farm out to Pompey was the last straw for him. We will have Lee Grant please. Edit: Just saw Grant has re signing for Derby. Edited June 13, 2013 by razza699 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pukka Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) Surely we could have got some cash for him then? LEE JOHNSON OUT Edited June 13, 2013 by pukka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannyboy55555 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 We've actually found a way to get nothing for players that are IN contract now. Well done everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofcecere Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I'm finding it amazing that so many players from a team nearly relegated from L1 are finding their way into the Championship! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 We've actually found a way to get nothing for players that are IN contract now. Well done everyone. He was only in contract for 3 more weeks. Not sure we would ahve got a lot for him.We saved his wages for nearly a month though, I reckon.

singe Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 I'm finding it amazing that so many players from a team nearly relegated from L1 are finding their way into the Championship! Thats our good fortune.I am still amazed that Mvoto is on a wage that Mike Keegan has hinted will get us 2 new players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laticdickovarmy Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) We had some good players talent wise but a lot lacked the heart and desire and could have been managed as well by my 8month old son as the clown that was Dickov Not surprised Cisak is a championship keeper, who is Burnley's usual keeper is it lee grant?

losesome Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I'm finding it amazing that so many players from a team nearly relegated from L1 are finding their way into the Championship! Just shows even with the best players in the world PD would struggle to get out a team out of league one , no chance at Donny !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie_J Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 He was only in contract for 3 more weeks. Not sure we would ahve got a lot for him. We saved his wages for nearly a month though, I reckon. We had an option to extend his contract for another year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 We had an option to extend his contract for another year. Yep, and as he was not offered, he was not in contract as poster said. I reckon if Mvoto was on a wedge, then Cisak was. He was first choice for a fair while, and told them he wanted to leave, hence farmed out and not being played Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lags Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Given there was no love lost between Cisak and the club, I think the relationship was that bad did we make him buy out his contract or our option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross2509 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 It's not like he's going to play much football, he will be number 2 for Burnley because its a cheap option to have on the bench. We got rid of him and we move on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was first choice for a fair while, and told them he wanted to leave, hence farmed out and not being played That is up for debate....reported that it was offered via OS early doors, and mentioned he had signed only for the next day...gone!

jimsleftfoot Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 We had an option to extend his contract for another year. I imagine plan A was take the option to sign up for another year, despite neither parties actually being happy with that, in the hope that another club would pay a fee. But then then there was a chance we could have ended up paying quite a bit in wages to a unhappy keeper. Also Burnley taking him on a free doesn't necessarily mean that they would pay a fee for him, when there are other players out of contract.

lookersstandandy Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 For crying out loud guys, c'mon, if we'd have exercised the 1 year extension, Burnley wouldn't have wanted him. We'd have then been lumbered with a devisive individual who risked upsetting the rest of the squad. No, in LJ I trust, Burnley have only taken a chance on him cos he's free!

Also Burnley taking him on a free doesn't necessarily mean that they would pay a fee for him, when there are other players out of contract. But we would have had the option of letting him go for free, if necessary. When I said opportunity missed above, I meant on two levels: first, that we probably could have gotten a fee (even if only a fairly modest one) and, secondly, that we had, for my money, a very talented keeper but have ended up in a situation where he didn't want to be at Latics and has walked for nowt.

Lags Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Dyche states Cisak as gone to be their number one and the BBC could only find Cisak in a Pompey shirt! http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22893074 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
