This sums it up for me. Offload the squad players who are surplus and if MJ is deemed worth it make sure what we offer is better than anyone else.

I suppose the bigger question is who has the expertise to know whether MJ is worth the gamble?

Well said Wrencat, I fully agree.

Also, as someone else posted previously, both Jowitt and Johnstone are now our fist choice players in their respective positions. This needs to be reflected upon in their contracts, regardless of age.

Older players have come in on higher paid contracts in the past, and haven't made the same impact as these have.

If older players spit the dummy out regearding contracts and salaries, then surely they are big enough, and old enough, to show their worth to the club.

Crowther out on loan.

Wrong, was out on loan.

Until today

And he's 19.
