Sam Clucas

[Derbymiller]

So he joined Oldham last week a non-league club, yet in the article below Evans says he left us because we couldn't afford him, he states he thinks he is a good player.

So with a space in the squad and with Kelly not available over the last few months, why didn't we go back to him and bring him in, unless Oldham can pay more than us. For me this is another example of a story that just doesn't stand up.

Evan’s is fluent in Bullsh!t.

Clucas was a sicknote replaced him with a slightly older same in Kelly.

???? Come on fella, he played loads for us as stated by OJQ.

RU66 you miss the point being made.
1. Evans rates the player
2. Evans says he wanted too much money
3. Evans says we never made him an offer
4. He has joined a non-league team on a short-term contract, so clearly his financial expectations are still not at the championship level
5. We have a space in our squad
6. we lost a key midfielder for 2 months and we might suffer another injury in that area (e.g. mcWilliams has been out)
7. We are told we operate a very, very good L1 budget

add to that
1. He takes a good set piece, that gives us options in an area that we have struggled
2. He is calm on the ball and can pass
3. He was already here and Evans says they had a good relationship in the short-time

It has nothing to do whether you or I rate the player but the fact Evans does and his reason for him not being here, doesn't stack up to basic scrutiny. This is one of the reasons i dislike Evans because you cannot believe a word the man says, I would tolerate that if we were winning because the club is more important.

Derbs, some good observations there. I wonder how many are true?

It makes you wonder what to believe Evans has to say these days. Having said that, number 7 is not proving itself to be true, or why would be full of a team of loanees, free agents and over 30's.

Will we ever learn to be brave and go for more youthful players? I don't care if we went down that road and it took us two seasons to gel but here we are again. Raggett, Kelly, McWilliams and to top it all, our supposed saviour in Clark - Harris, all crocked and well before a dozen games! On top of that, Humphreys looks totally disinterested and is not the player he was showing last season.

Finally, what is the secret cloak wrapped around Osong? Is he still here? Is he injured? I've not seen anything about this lad for weeks and he doesn't even make the bench now so what exactly is going off with him?

He played 32 games in the championship how does that make him a sicknote .Should have been offered a contract in div 1

[Brin]

Same old bulls.hit coming out.

Never looked fully up to speed. That's why he's signed now for a non-league club.

Never fully looked up to speed yet he arrived late if I remember was it September? Still played 32 games and at least looked as if he was up for the battle he’d piss all over our current midfield
