fizoxy Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 Was Josh Morris the only player Graham Alexander signed more than once? I don't think it's fair to compare Paton to a one footed shitebag, we should at least give him a few games. Obika, Paton and Maguire in for KVV, Goss and Cornelius isn't sexy at all, but I seriously doubt we're done with our transfer business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we not get any of the development fee? Surely we are entitled to some of it? Just asking, as I dont know how these things work...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizoxy Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 I think any club that has contributed to his development up to the age of 23 gets training compensation of some kind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spit_It_Out Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 Good luck to Dean however hate to say it but he wont be missed really as he goes missing so much in games sometimes I forgot he was actually playing. We have not lost anything that can't be replaced more worried about the Forward situation than anything else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of these players are of a better quality but others just think they are. As frustrating it is for us, it must be worse for the manager & staff trying to get the deal’s done. Wether the guys already signed are good enough as starter’s remains to be seen but - while we try to persuade others to join us - I think it’s better to have them rather than scrambling around at the last minute picking from the leftovers.

And of course it’s been the same for years. Given that it’s a bit strange some people think it’s suddenly going to change. You would think the pre season predictions of doom would have dissipated by now given it never actually happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye but it won't be much because Harrogate will be a category 3 or (probably) 4 club for training. So 30-40 grand max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 I don't quite get the some of the comments about Harry Paton. He had a lot of catching up to do last season and we didn't really see a lot of him. I doubt he'll be one of the top "stars" but SK obviously sees something in him. Time will tell and the jury is still out for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't set the heather in fire but better than some of the dross we've had in midfield over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 Hadn't realised Paton was only 25 so could be a decent signing. Be good to see how he fares when fully fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergie79 Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 Paton was a real surprise in one of the training sessions I seen, he was a standout by miles, hopefully a good preseason and he will be a decent signing without costing very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Harry Paton looked absolutely brilliant last season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 If we have a creative midfielder that can make a pass, I don't care if they sit down and light up in the middle of the centre circle when the times are tough. That's why you also sign midfielders with good engines that can tackle. You tend to get more tough times more often if you don't have at least one passer in the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
