If NC plays him tomorrow we will find out at 2pm either way

May still stay if not and play vs Donny.

If he’s not played by 28th id suggest he’s going elsewhere. Still plenty of time to seal a deal by Monday 31st

But by then we have potentially missed out on his replacement, if Walsall or any other club are interested then I’d say you have till next Friday or the player stays and plays for us .

If he only wants to go somewhere for 6 months but we want a fee for him, then it follows that the only teams who will take him are those that are willing to stump up a fee to sign a player for 6 months and I can't see many teams wanting to do that. Feels more and more like he'll be with us for the rest of the season, whether we play him or not.

It makes me wonder if he knows where he wants to be.

Its called player power bet we end up getting nowt for him and not many goals from him either brilliant

Think he wants to be at Walsall, he's had a good season and scoring regularly. He will get a good contract from someone next season. I wonder if we have a years option on him?

[Billy the fish]

Can’t see Radford being very happy at all this was Cloughs signing which probably is costing the club a big wage now Walsall aren’t paying his wages .

[Richard Cranium]

Wasn't it JR who changed it to a loan instead of permanent in the Summer?

[georgefostersbeard]

That is what was reported and no-one has contradicted it since

His own cash to lose if he decides to take a gamble...

He was basically making the same point in response to the previous message

Match off, so DJ saga goes on.

It plays to our advantage by not forcing our hand

Yep suits us perfectly, an extra week with the new lads, a decent rest for those with knocks, time to sort out the Johnson situation and let's be honest we're in pretty bad form so the break has come at a good time.

It comes at a better time for the Cobblers when you see their injury list. I was thinking yesterday when I was doing my prep for the game, there won't be a better time to play them.

Only if Hoskins was on it.

[yorkshire stag]

It does. Northampton will be more happier than us that the game has been postponed.

What I can't understand is why he only wants to sign a six month contract. Surely if that is where he wants to be he would sign at least 18 months. Unless it is a ploy to get him on the cheap. It certainly reduces the amount a club is willing to pay in transfer fees. Maybe he will be happy to sign a longer contract at Hartlepool. The whole situation seems strange to me.

[georgefostersbeard]

Possibly he has an informal arrangement with a club for next season

Is it true though ? Who said he only wants 6 months?

Think Nigel did in his interview this week. Said he'd only sign a 6 month contract with Walsall if we sold im sure

Could be. It certainly doesn't help the situation.

Fair enough. Didn’t see that bit

I'm wondering, reading between the lines, if he's (or agent to be specific) had contact with a club higher up who will take a punt on him but don't want to pay a fee. Otherwise why would he only sign for anyone for 6 months.

Maybe said club has a decent left back we can do a swap deal with

What other feasible explanation is there?

[Marky Mark]

Maybe as a free agent in the Summer he thinks he could get a bigger signing on fee as there's no transfer fee involved?
