AndyRoss Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 (edited) Are we nearing the stage where Aldred and Cadden signing a deal/new deal is pretty unlikely? Would have thought there would have been movement by this point. That really just leaves Frear and McHugh on the maybe list. I was considering this the other day and I think all four of these guys have been very good for us at stages in their time here, but with that being said I've kinda come to the conclusion it's time for Frear and McHugh to move on. Thoughts? Need to stop trying to multi-task, that was a cluster-f**k of a post. Edited May 9, 2019 by AndyRoss 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsr Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I dreamed last night that Frear scored a hat-trick for us. For the 3rd goal the entire crowd were screaming at him not to use his left foot, so he used his right and it flew on. On that evidence, I suggest we offer him a record deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts? Need to stop trying to multi-task, that was a cluster-f**k of a post. I think Cadden's the interesting one tbh. It really depends what he wants to do. He was previously linked with Millwall and Wigan while Cardiff and Hull were mentioned as well. We knocked back a £450k offer from Oxford on deadline day and that's before you get to the likes of Aberdeen, Hearts and (lol) Rangers. It's a bit of a step down to just settle on a Doncaster-type. If we've offered him 2 years on a substantial salary bump (as has been hinted) then that gives him a bit of freedom to be good again or as he put it “get my performances back up to the level that I know I can." and aim a little higher than Doncaster (again, if that's what he wants). It also takes the Development Compensation off the table completely which seems to have been an obstacle for the like of Hearts in terms of what they're willing to pay. 2 years from the club's POV means that they're not running the risk of just giving him away in January Reynolds/Murphy-style. Hastie moving on, which I don't think anyone saw coming leaves a space in the side for Cadden to slot straight into, but it's also interesting that we've been giving him time at RB in both games he's started recently. I thought it was pretty much a given that Aldred was off and I can't see Frear sticking around for loads of reasons (most obvious being that he's only started 4 league games this season). McHugh, clearly isn't first pick but he gives cover at CB and he's a good player to have around the squad IMO. I'd guess it really depends what his other options are, I'm not sure how real that Asian link is. Edited May 9, 2019 by capt_oats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_oats Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 (edited) Ally Gorrin now linked with Barnsley, Rotherham, Oxford and Fleetwood. Absolutely fair fucks to him and his agent btw. Edited May 9, 2019 by capt_oats 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casagolda Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 The only two I really wanted to keep were Ally Gorrin and Hastie. The latter has already signed for somebody else and the former’s agent seems to be punting his name about here, there and everywhere- so we can assume he’s away as well. The rest? I’d just bin those offers now to be honest. The likes of Frear, Main and McHugh for a multitude of reasons probably won’t sign on again and with the greatest of respect, none of them are irreplaceable or worth hanging about waiting on. Would love to keep Aldred and probably Ariyibi as well but I’d imagine both would be well outwith our budget. Obviously you’d have to keep Cadden’s offer on the table for compensation purposes but other than that, I’d be saying our thank you’s and moving onto other targets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I mean in fairness to him, by the end of December he'd played 329 mins in the league. You couldn't blame him if he'd been looking for an exit, even in January. To go from that to his post-break form where he's been virtually an ever present and is potentially looking at offers from Championship clubs for the summer is wild. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
