NewBlue Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Why on earth is he on trial with Bradford when we have an option in his contract? What are the club thinking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super_blue Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 i believe he turned it down as the terms got changed with the option! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolatic Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 i believe he turned it down as the terms got changed with the option! Which, I believe, that they are perfectly entitled to do. I'll apologise now if I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdog Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) I would hope the club recognised he was one of a few who came out of last season as an improving versatile player and would have improved their offer. Yet every player seems to have an agent these days so maybe both think they could be worth a little bit more, like we all do in the world of work. So I don't begrudge him trying to get a better deal elsewhere. I do hope he stays though. Edited July 9, 2016 by underdog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteg999 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Suppose it depends if he fits the new managers profile but for what it's worth I would keep him too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longtimeblue Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Which, I believe, that they are perfectly entitled to do. I'll apologise now if I'm wrong. Probably are. Doesn't mean it's right. Can't imagine he was one of the bigger earners and was definitely worth keeping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super_blue Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 The decision to offer reduced terms was surely shez's not the clubs. He will have decided who to release, offer new terms etc before sodding off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamoafc Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Had a good game for Bradford today apparently. Bradford fans want him signed up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deyres42 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Decent player but he does seem to be taking on mythical qualities since leaving... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kusunga_Is_God Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Thought he looked really in tick within the CDM position toward the end of the season, be a massive shame if we lost him could see him being an integral part of the midfield for this season.

oafc1955 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Probably suffered with Shez coming in and then leaving in such a short time. Having no manager since won't have helped his cause so hardly scandalous and shortsighted is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stagger Lee Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 My brothers had him rated as the most underrated player in the second half of the season. Shez was getting the best out of him and assuming he is not on much money would love for him to stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryBosch Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Decent player but he does seem to be taking on mythical qualities since leaving... Bollocks. Nobody has claimed he's a world beater that I've read. Just that he's a half decent player who has the potential to get a lot better and that the decision to let him go seems daft for various reasons.

I've read several tweets and posts over the last several days describing him as 'class'. He's decent and can improve but he is very replaceable. He certainly wasn't class at any point last season.

welshgaz Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I thought he was a useful holding midfielder alongside Kelly. Arguably his best form came at right back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfatjoe1 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 He did very well under Sheridan. Before that he was very hit and miss. However, in those last few months he was an important part of the great escape. Typical. Like that lanky :censored: Smith. :censored: for 18 months, grows up, puts in a shift and pisses off. Bradford will sell him for a million in 12 months....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's decent and can improve but he is very replaceable. He certainly wasn't class at any point last season. We are Oldham fans and watch them every week. When I use the word class it's usually relative to what I saw the week before or even 5 minutes before. I am not comparing with Beckenbauer Cruyff or McVitie.
