I'd have imagined the new midfield signing will be a younger cheaper back-up to Clay, or if we are being ambitious, a proven midfield scrapper at this level.

Next season, yeah? Great. Lose Bonne on a free and Koroma for tribunal money after forcing them to stay at the club where they will no doubt be distracted or unhappy. Genius idea. Much better than raking in £750,000ish and replacing them with players who actually want to be here.

Err no actually, you negotiate a new contract increasing their pay and you go again. It’s how football works if you did’t know. All players can be bought it’s just a question of how much.

Remember when they supposedly bid £2m for Brian Saah? I reckon it's just a ploy to get someone to raise their offer.

At least if he goes we know we're getting decent money for him.

Lower league journeyman. Maybe he has the steel we are looking for in midfield. Not really exciting, just making up the numbers. Bench warmer.

Looks like he's a little'un - so a younger, less journeyed Charlie Lee. Agree on his impact.

That's a sample size of 1 game though. Totally agree that he is the sort of player that we need, just not necessarily that he is the exact player we need.

Go on to the Harrogate site and listen to his pre-season chat. Full of excitement and looking forward to their new signings. So positive he cant possibly consider a move.
