In fairness to him, he said pre-season that he saw Cadden as an option in there but acknowledged that he'd been played out of position and was better further forward. Edit: listening to the rest of that presser - hearing Jacob Blyth mentioned is a LOL. Edited May 8, 2019 by capt_oats 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJC Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I've just logged on and haven't fully read the last page. So are we seriously linked with re-signing Lionel Ainsworth? Is this fucking serious? I thought we'd got away from the days of re-signing popular ex players who are well into their 30s. When are we signing Faddy for the 20th time then? -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_oats Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 (edited) In other former players news Beneghan (and Nathan Thomas) transfer-listed by Sheffield United. Not to take the thread in a SO style 'former players' direction but the reason I mention Heneghan is we presumably have a sell-on there. Newly promoted to the Premier League? They couldn't flip him for profit could they? Edited May 8, 2019 by capt_oats 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won Blackpool’s player of the year and players player of the year so possibly.Seemingly he has been outstanding for them since going on loan so wouldn’t be surprised to see someone take a punt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

well fan for life Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 If we add to the £300k we got for Heneghan I might soil myself laughing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was capable of pulling something special out of the hat but was woefully inconsistent and prone to hiding in games. So why should we be re-signing him now, when he's two years older and winding down?!? One of the things I praised Robinson for when he got his first transfer window under his belt was that he moved us away from the jobs for the old boys policy we had operated for years beforehand. If we sign Lionel Ainsworth this summer then we'll be taking backward steps and it will show that the club aren't looking to the future. We are not a retirement home for 30 something veterans looking for one last pay day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Hastie and Turnbull up for Writers Young Player of The Year. Good lads (Ferguson and Greg Taylor are the others). Also, Doncaster apparently interested in Cadden according to Football Scotland via The Express. Seems we've offered him a 2 year deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desp Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Am I right in saying Ben Heneghan played once (an FA Cup game) for Sheffield Utd? £400k for him was an outstanding piece of business. Generally, the sell-on clause is on the profit the buying club (in this case, Sheff Utd) makes, so I can't see anyone shelling out half a million plus for Heneghan, even in the bat-shit world of the EFL, to make it worthwhile for us. For all you have clubs like Derby spunking £8m (EIGHT MILLION POUNDS, lads) on Martyn Waghorn, you've got Bolton going to the wall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
