Maybe we've already submitted another offer but Davie is giving himself the week to negotiate a deal. I suppose the same could be said about any keeper really 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A higher percentage of a sell on could be something to look at, if he's any good he wont be at Livi long, can't see us shelling out a fortune just to get him, esp when he's unproven at higher levels. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLIS Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 1 hour ago, Cptn Hooch said: Is that the same David Martindale who said the shop was shut before trying to bring in more players and moving more out? Things in football change so rapidly. I wouldn't say it'd be a betrayal of the fans. There seems to be a decent number that would welcome Leigh back if the circumstances were right. I'm sure if he gets fit and hungry to go but has no offers then it's something Davie would look at, providing the money involved is within our constraints. We could do a lot worse than getting him in on a short term deal with a low wage and incentives to stay fit and play well. I'd say allowing someone like that at the club will go a long way to unsettling the fan base. It's going to split a lot of people. His issues are beyond saving and the nature of some of his issues will be a thing people can't accept 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIVIFOREVER Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Doesn't sound like it's an issue for Martindale. Quote “I know he has some trouble off the park but everyone in football I have spoken to about him said how good a guy he is and I am finding that myself. “He’s worked so hard, he’s lost weight and body fat and he’s been brilliant around the place.

I'm not saying he's a saint but some of our fanbase have short memories I'd say with some of them, time was the line. There was a distinct and in some cases public admission of guilt and visible willingness to turn it around. Griffiths has had a long consistent streak of issues, not one off events or not huge turning points in his life like others have had. I'd like to hope he manages to turn his life around but how many chances will he get at it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) So which ‘keeper is on the way out? Have I understood it correctly that one will be going? From what Ive read it’s not uncommon for us to offer training facilities. I find it hard to imagine Griffiths returning to anything like his former self on the park but if Martindale says he’s now in great condition then maybe he’ll get a few goals again somewhere.

Both could be leaving, Max is unsettled after thinking he'd get a move, and Ivan is unsettled with his family back in Russia and his wages gone through the floor with currency dropping in value. Neither of them is reliable enough at the moment either, and wont be getting a game now we've signed Shamal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I mentioned above, attitude and performance issues. It goes without saying that he's also had a concerning past which wouldn't matter if he was able to move on and put it in the past but the controversy is never far from him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
