Most liked posts in thread: Reece Staunton

Good bit of business for the club here, expect him to be gone by '22 but we could command a large fee for him.

 

Bit of a stinker we wouldn't be able to put his sale onto the wage cap though.

 

Congratulations to Reece, that's some contract extension. Looking forward to seeing him develop for us. Hopefully he realises his potential, although may mean holding on to him for the length of that contract may prove difficult

 

Is he a local lad?

Its never a bad thing offering these longer contracts for prospects. He won't be costing a fortune at 18 and it protects the player and the club. Hopefully he can kick on and have a gokd season and im sure McCall will be sensible with his development.

 

I wonder if the decision to do this now is because there have already been clubs sniffing around.

 

I wouldnt have thought so after 2 games in his entire career.

 

Yes, he is a Bradford lad

 

This club doesn't learn. Did the same with Danny Devine and Patrick...look how them two turned out.

I always worry when we hand out a contract to a player after about 2 - 3 games then make out he's god.

However, what is worry he is better than the other CB's we have already.

 

Nice one.

Don't we have any young strikers we can give opportunities to?

I think we all know we have the most experienced forward line this side of fielding 40 year old Steve Claridge alongside 37 year old Dean Windass, is there no lad to give a chance to?

 

Or alternatively you let him know he is highly thought of and will get game time, instilling confidence thus also encouraging him to sign a contract. Alternative is he doesn’t sign, loses confidence

 

No, I just like a player to prove themselves after about 10 games then offer a contract. Offering him a contract shouldn't be high on the agenda. We have other issues to deal with.

Think for me it was the way make out he was the resigning of Messi.

 

Agree let's hope the injury Reece left the field with isn't a bad one.

 

He does play at youth level, , scouts could have had their eyes on him for a while.
Mason Greenwood was picked up at a very young age 6/7 years old by Man United.

 

I know he's been at the club for a long time. I have nothing wrong with the contract but I would rather have waited until after the transfer window.

Other issues need addressing first.

 

Behave!

 

Anyone heard anything on Reece's potential injury?

Even if not serious I doubt he's going to play this weekend.

 

If hes not playing i wonder what the lineup will be.... no AOC, POC or Saunton....

 

Leeds are signing plenty including a new CB or can play right back, maybe we could borrow one of theirs ?

 

We need a centre back anyway. None of BRE or the O'Connors are good enough.

 

Are any players good enough in your opinion?

I'll give you BRE, but both O'Connor's are definitely good enough for L2.
