One more Connor hourhine thread

Hopefully all our christmas's come at once and he signs a new deal.... but If he leaves in jan which I expect us to have bids if he carrys on like he is doing. Who could replace him. I can't see it been moncur as I expect him to go to posh in jan permenent. I expect we would go for a similar player from league 1 or 2. I know we made a bid for the lad from Luton not sure if he could fit the bill. Any suggestions.

 

I don't personally know anyone in particular but I trust Hecky, Linton and Patrick to sign the right player, on about McGeeham does remind me of the Berry situation abit. On another note would like a left footed midfielder, it's been brilliant having two players with different strong feet in midfield gives us alot more range of passing and balance.

 

Say he's on £5k a week now, should offer him double (triple?) that with a £10 million release clause. Might persuade him to sign on and then we can get some proper money for him in the summer rather than nothing.

 

My guess would he's on not very much at all unless their was an automatic payment uplift upon promotion.

We signed him just over 2 years ago from Plymouth at a time we were keen to hugely reduce our burgeoned wage bill. If he sees it in his best interests to run his contract down on a much reduced basis and not enter into negotiations with us to get a bumper pay day and huge signing on bonus next summer. Thats his right.

I'll be gutted when he leaves, but he's one of the most influential players in any team at present and is clearly on other clubs radars, even more so after winning player of the month.

Would love him to stay, but I can't see that happening and I wouldn't blame him at all.
