Craig Clay our 2 title winning midfielder wasn't worth anything ?

None of the others were worth anything so selling one made sense. Unfortunately the recruitment in that January was awful and made the problem worse, the rest is history
Given we released him on a free to Sutton and no-one tried to to buy in between yes, harsh but true. Reality is we wouldn't have won L2 if El Miz hadn't been primarily in the CDM role.Joe315 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 03, 2024 3:45 pmCraig Clay our 2 title winning midfielder wasn't worth anything ?

Galbraith is an 8 at best.gshaw wrote: ↑Wed Jan 03, 2024 2:21 pmReally?! Never knew it was anywhere near that figure.
He didn't suit Jackett's direct style so was moved on. Trouble was we never truly sorted the midfield until Richie arrived

Squad filler who we had to overly rely on because of problems recruiting CMs over a prolonged period. Agreed, there's no comparison to El Miz.Joe315 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 03, 2024 6:00 pmHe won 2 titles. More than valuable. Totally different midfielder to Idris.
