    I am really not that fussed about him tbh. When he played for us, he was over weight and not fit. He clearly does have talent, but he needs to look after himself. Furthermore he has made it absolutely clear that he does not want to come back. I don’t know about anyone else, but I have had enough of uncommitted players, so if Lincoln want him they can have him. He likes it there so I am guessing his agent will be sorting it out,

    And they say no and you carry on paying a player who clearly doesn't want to return. If you want to shed players then you need to do it at the lowest cost possible.

    Absolutely. If Lincoln or anyone else wants to take over an unhappy player's contract then snap their hands off. He isn't worth a fee anyway.

    He’s that good he’s only started 21 times for a L2 side, with a further 12 substitute appearances. He scored 7 times with 3 assists. He hasn’t even been a regular for them.

    If Lincoln want him, let them have him. No fee involved







    so long as they agree to take Wright, Reeves, NKP and Akpan

    Problem is this is exactly what’s wrong with football. A player is contracted to do a job, he’s being paid a high amount for it, and should do that job. He’s not Ronaldo ffs

    We need a complete overhaul of the squad including McCarten
    Who has made it clear he doesn't want to come back.

    Whatever our valuation of him,if Lincoln or any other team don't
    match it, we negotiate,we don't "give away" a saleable asset as I
    said, "we need the money". We don't just let him stay at Lincoln
    paying part of his wages for nothing until his contract runs out
    and they get him for free, or he goes where ever he is wanted that
    appeals to him.

    We paid £250k? for him I don't see "giving him away" for free a
    "Low cost option"!

    Huddersfield wanted Sean Scannell off the wage bill so we paid the nominal fee to take over his contract. If Lincoln want to keep Shay, then a similar deal should take place. The amount of shit he got when he was here, I don’t blame him wanting to stay there.

    Let them have him. Always seemed to have an attitude problem. Imagine what he'd be like after this.

    Agreed. No room in our dressing room for disruptive individuals or those who aren’t certain to give their all for the club (we have enough of the latter at present!)

    He’s that far up his own arse he probably thinks he’s too special to celebrate with his own team mates . I’ve seen it a few times first hand . Can clear off for me

    He isn't good enough for league 1 and Bradford City is a too bigger club for him.

    Hopefully, Lincoln will buy him though.

    But he is not worth a fee. The fact we paid a fee for him is part of the madness that has been happening round VP.

    can you point to what shows he had an attitude problem or that he was disruptive within the dressing room.

    I'd say, congratulations to Shay on promotion to league 1 with Lincoln.

    Always good to see Lincoln doing well that goes without saying, but that is completely separate issue from whether McCarten comes back. I do not want any player at this club who does not want to be here. I am just an ordinary fan, however I still think that players who pull on the claret and Amber should know they are privileged to do so.
