Family is settled in England and he’ll be able to get a team who pay more than we can. If true, we move on. That's fine if another club wants him. At his age, they may not be queueing up.

Sagan Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 It would be good to know if we're still looking for players now that Damour has signed. I don't think anyone can moan if we're done, hopefully not though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that we both want the best for the club and probably both have total different views on how to achieve it. This nonsense about Clare’s attitude is just mental tho. If you don’t rate his ability, that’s fine. If you don’t think he is playing in the right position, that’s also fine. To say he has an attitude problem, hides or doesn’t try is just stupid. Well said. I think the lad grafts actually. Looks a good type to me. Just needs to learn to take a hold of a game. Having solid workers around him and intelligence ahead will help him no end.

Ibrahim Tall Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 4-2-3-1 With attacking full backs and 2 wingers etc isn’t ‘defensive’. This issue isn’t playing 2 ‘defensive’ midfielders, it’s if we don’t balance that out by playing with width and taking defensive duties off others.
