"He has accepted a deal on reduced terms and turned down other offers from elsewhere, which I think speaks volumes of his loyalty to our club."

That has surprised me a fair bit, but is generally nice to have players who love to play for bradford.

 

People will find a negative in anything the club says....

 

Isn’t he only 31 which is a good age for a goalkeeper

 

Yep .
Decent signing, keep them coming.
Squad is slowly starting to take shape now .

@Fordy117 how bad is this one ?

 

I don’t think anyone is saying that are they?

I’m just happy that the only player I liked from the past couple of seasons has re signed.

I don’t get why every single bit of news has to be berated. This club is depressing enough as it is without us picking apart any slightly positive news.

 

Good keeper and will hopefully remain one of the better ones at our level

 

It's taking shape because we re-signed the keeper we had last term?

We're still missing a whole central midfield, probably a specialist right back and a left winger. And that's just to field a balanced 11 in a 4 4 2. The lack of quality is vast and we're about as far away from 'taking shape' as it gets.

 

He was holding out for a better offer that never came , lets not make out he is a super loyal player , that if you cut him he would bleed claret and amber .

 

You do overthink things at times. Who gives a feck? Really?

 

If we recruit a decent defensive midfielder that will give the 2 CB some cover then we might see them improve. Last season they had no protection and were out numbered most of the time. We also conceded a lot of goals coming down the right side due to having no decent right back so if this is addressed we will look a lot stronger in defence.

 

The "accepted a deal on reduced terms" caught my eye as even the minimum wage goes up every year.
Then i think back and the original contract would have been when City were in L1 and a certain edin was splashing the cash.
He would have been on a very nice contract.

 

Ha ha I don't mind him but due to his age he is laughing that he's got a 2 year deal even on reduce terms.

So overall....POOR DEAL!!

 

Explain why it is a poor deal then. If you can.

 

Bet he can!

 

Agreed with that.

BRE and the two O'Connors never clicked, we never got a successful partnership out of the three of them.

It's extremely unlikely we'll offload two of them, but I'd certainly be most in favour of keeping Paudie, even though Anthony was probably our best performing CB.

Hopefully the fact that our defensive unit will remain largely unchanged improves their performance, particularly in a season where most clubs are all over the place. We're likely to field a new right back, but three quarters is probably going to be the same.

 

Good news.

 

Smart kit he is wearing there.

Good to see him extending his contract with us. A solid keeper at this level and he genuinely seems to enjoy playing for us. Well done to him for accepting reduced terms

 

Looks to me like he could do with a good meal....!!
