Shrek Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 As he's one of our youth products, one of our own, I find it disgusting the way we've treated him. He had, still has, plenty of potential. Hasn't worked out for him, really shame really. We've no intention of keeping him apparently, I believe our offer is around the same as his deal signed last time, straight off a youth. This then traps him as any club signing him owes compo. Unless there has been an update I've missed that still remains. Poor form from us IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobledgersheart Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Some may say with his injury record he was lucky to be offered a contract. Hasn't really progressed much since his debut, probably due to injury problems. He could always refuse the offer and try to get fixed up elsewhere.

If they'd picked him up for nothing because we hadn't offered a contract (as I believe happened with Simms) then the club will have got pelters for missing out. Has he had offers/interest from clubs lower down the pyramid who can't afford the compensation so take it no further? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsPete Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 He wasn’t good enough but we offered him a new contract . He turned it down. How is that treating him badly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't an offer the club felt he would accept or indeed i believe wanted him to accept. It's the same wage as his initial pro deal. That will be a pittance.

If someone else gets the benefit then us being compensated it seems fair to me. It's not as if we're demanding a massive transfer fee!
