I agree with that, but on the flip side could be a case of biggest announcements end of the month(pay day)? Get fan’s attentions when they have the resources.

 

Unless this is old footage he obviously agreed to sign before the pitch was ripped up... Drip feeding us so it may be that others have signed new contracts too

 

No, the marketing is get things in early so that people buy shirts and season tickets sooner.

This is why we announced Angel and Walker plus Lewis.

Fans want to see things happening. Not leaving it to the last minute. To be fair to the club its cracking on.

The players you talked about will be wanted by other clubs. It wouldn't be in our interest to wait about mate. We want the world to know we are building something good here. Players that might be joining want to know that also ASAP.

 

Isn't funny how players become so much better by not playing ?

 

Hughes sent Ridehalgh for surgery a week early in order to ensure he has time to be ready for the first week of preseason.

I think it's extremely likely Liam is staying.

Probably puts to bed any left back rumours. Probably any other left sided defenders will be centre backs, if any.

 

Surely it would be biggest names first to try and drive the ST sales?

 

We have the next best thing to a DoF.

Ryan: We need to make sure players are rewarded for their development. I'm giving Foulds a two year deal, and I expect a succession plan that allows for him to take over at left back in the future. Crystal?

Derek: No. I'm releasing him.

Ryan: Okay, boss. Good call, boss.

 

I've just checked and Staunton started 8 league games at the start of last season and, from my view on iFollow, he was arguably our best player in those games. He then got injured and hasn't featured at all in the league under Adams. I think people, including me, are high on him based on those 8 games and assumed he would push on upon his return and have been in most matchday squads. Now that hasn't been the case but is it due to him not really recovering, his attitude or Adams' opinion of him?

 

Pereira will be a fu@king world beater by the end of the season.

 

Stability for him and the club and a real heart on sleeve player,pleased for him

 

Good news this we are building a squad with a bit of Strength in depth and we are well covered at left back

 

Why would you do that?

Surely they would be first if already agreed. My thoughts are they are leaving or in talks with other clubs.

 

Hendrie was excellent

At the end no city players looked happy to have won. except him

 

Know Staunton and FCD both have longer contracts so there is still time for them to develop at the club, but if you throw Foulds into the mix I know which of the 3 I would most like to keep. He has an attitude that impresses and he looks to be making progress, unlike the other 2 at this stage

 

Foulds is 24 and bit older than the other two. He's had some time in Italy too. Maybe just a bit more experienced?

I'm not disputing what you are saying about Foulds attitude and progress. I would guess he's not on a lot wage wise either.
Get him on a two year deal and he can take over from Ridehalgh in 2023/24.

If only we had a DOF who could plan ahead.....

 

He's one of those rare players is Foulds....











Someone who seems to have improved this season under Adams.

 

He can take over from Ridehalgh - now for me.

 

Looks like we're adding a year extension in the clubs favour as standard. Sensible.
Maybe something Gent or Hughes has suggested. Can't remember us doing it before.
