I am informed that the club offered until JANUARY pay as you Play. CLINT wanted deal until end of season. I can see both sides of this. The club thinking by January we will have players back or the window. And CLINT wanting some security until season end. There must have been a middle ground surely. A deal until end of season with some training input by CLINT.
It's our own fault We should of got defensive cover and not promising young midfielders in the window The young lads are good additions but we needed to get our priorities right Poor decision making by our management not to get defenders or a striker
I think that may be a bit harsh Single. We did get a centre half and probably tried for strikers within our budget. Pity about Clint as you'd think it was a no brainer. I guess there's nothing to stop us going back to if we are really stuck even if it puts us in a weak negotiating position.
"He was close to getting a deal at QPR but the deal didn’t suit both parties.
Seems he was training with Carlisle and now they are interested again now that our deal has fallen through.
I agree with Ghost that it is a little harsh to criticise the club for not bringing in more defenders.
Onuoha has played continuously for years so who would have thought he would be injured long term. Likewise in the past 2 seasons Perch has pretty much always been available.
Nobody could have predicted we'd lose those 2 at the same time.
Admittedly there are always question marks over the fitness of Hall and especially Lynch, whilst Caulker cannot be relied upon, but we don't have the funds to just sign countless defenders to cover all eventualities. It is just an unfortunate turn of events.
Even when fit we were moaning about onuoha and the errors he was making in some goals conceded Yes maybe harsh to criticise too much as we've had some great additions like scowen and freeman Our midfield is sorted but we needed a young powerhouse defender in the window,caulker has it all but he's simply not got his mind on the job and is not the answer Baptiste is ok but past his best,we need aerial presence that header the other day by boro he didn't even have to jump to nod it in Shame we've been hit with injuries as we were ticking along quite nicely Be interesting to see how it affects us in the coming weeks

Has signed for Carlisle on a short term deal. Surely can't be true then that he wanted a deal until the end of the season with us. Even more mysterious why we couldn't strike a deal.

Does seem strange but I wonder if it was more to do with his family being based up in Liverpool rather than the length of the contract. Whatever the reason Im sure he will do well for them.
