samgoafc Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 He's just been their Player of the Season so will go higher or stay in L1 - we have this rumor every single year and it's boring, living in the past - first year we don't need a new keeper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemel latic Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Rumoured to be on his way to Bolton, think they had a City loanee in goal this season. I sincerely doubt the talented Mr. Ripley is NL bound. AND, we have a couple of problems but keeper ain't one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemel latic Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 On a twitter Q&A with Suzanne Geldard just now, Unsworth said that none of Booty, Haughton or Willoughby will be signing for Oldham. Confirmed that it could be as many as 8/9 new signings, some of whom might be on loan but concentrating on permanent. Hopeful of getting some business done soon but more important to make quality signings than quick signings. New signings can't be registered until 1 July. Said Yarney and Green have been offered good contracts and hopeful both will re-sign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you suspect that we’ll be aiming lower on the back of us ruling out signing 3 players who have never played at a higher level than where we are now? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know two of those were are looking at and one of them we put in a bid last season which was turned down. I'll be amazed if at least one of those isn't an Oldham player next season.

Ritchierich Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 I’m less confident Yarney is staying, seems a bit unclear but perhaps the option for next season was with him, not us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchierich Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 My concern overall is that the management may think we finished so well that we don’t need much more to go up…..I think most of us who watched enough games think otherwise! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnboy Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 it ws clear when yarney extended from non-conract to a egular contract to the season end.i theres an archive on the club website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzlatic Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 I think the fan base is conditioned to negativity. Everything seems to get taken as an indicator of impending disappointment. Time to have a different mindset - Frank’s in charge, things are looking up!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Burns Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 my reading is he is here next season, but he signed for peanuts and it would be insulting to keep him at that amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsLegend Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Sounds like there is some form of escape clause or loophole in Yarney's extended deal. It's not been a straight answer from who ever has been asked about it. The cryptic answers suggest we've offered him more money to honour the agreement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Burns Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 not even a bag a week! l would imagine the option was mutual and l would hope we didnt even try and trigger it. hopefully nobody turns his head whilst he is on holiday and he was made to feel the love at Live, Loud n Beefy.

GKing521 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 If Yarney doesn't want to stay I say let him go. I only want players that want to play for us. I include Nuttall and Rooney in that as well, although it did seem in the last month of the season Nuttall was enjoying himself a bit more.
