Surely not. We were informed by some members of the forum elite that he was going nowhere!!The deal is agreed and is subject to a medical. Personal terms have been agreed. He’s off.
You didn't see this coming??Behave yourself.
Eh? What logic is that? Then we'd have one fewer senior player capable of playing in midfield.My concern is that Henry is not fill in player we need, argued many times should have not renewed his contract.
This probably proves that statement
Of course we have, but firstly, you can't replace a player like Cam easily. Someone as proven as him at this level is going to cost the kind of money that we don't have. He should have been playing in the Championship years ago. Thus, we've looked to the likes of Morton (who will go to the Championship) and Bate – players on the fringes of Premiership teams who have been waiting before committing to letting them go on loan (see Rak Sakyi). Pompey got Scarlett because he hasn't really got a hope in hell of minutes this year, whereas it's feasible that the players we're looking at could serve some use to their teams and hence it's been more difficult.Its hardly that surprising a cub that has chased him in the last 4 windows have come in for him again? The fact we haven't got anyone in mind to replace him is embarrassing. We needed more midfielders in before we knew this even more so now.
I wouldn't say it was obvious. The only team that have been linked with him over the last 18 months has been Blackpool and they've consistently failed to get near the release clause when his contract was of more value. With 12 months left they could have waited to get him for free next summer, instead of paying £1.4 million for a player in the final year of their contract at League 1 level - which is very good money. I don't know why they just didn't do this a year ago to be honest...Behave yourself.
Mate in the politest possible way.... WTF are you on about?! There's no foundation to that at all and you've given them a matter of hours before jumping on their backs. We all knew Cam was going, we just didn't know when and because it's a release clause he leaves us with no warning. That is nobody's fault. We all know he will be replaced but ordinarily you'd be sorting a replacement for Cam while we agree everything with Blackpool - we haven't had that luxury. We've got £1.5m to reinvest and try to be a better team in the long-run.Its hardly that surprising a cub that has chased him in the last 4 windows have come in for him again? The fact we haven't got anyone in mind to replace him is embarrassing. We needed more midfielders in before we knew this even more so now.
Blackpool pulled out of Bishop did they not?The odds of them triggering his release clause gets increasingly less likely the further into his contract he is. The club probably thought that when they failed to do this the last few times, they wouldn't do it this window because they can pick him up for free next year. There's been no links or rumours of this happening this summer so it's fair to say it's developed quickly. Maybe they've missed out on other targets, I don't know.
man that is pretty stark. An injury to any one of Long, McGuane, Murphy or Taylor on Saturday and...well, doesn't bare thinking about.Our squad 28/07/22.
Brannagan to Blackpool, Forde to Wrexham.
*Wildschut out to Xmas, Baldock out till end of Sept.
Not included Mousinho as general thinking is he won’t be part of the 22 outfield players.

Or they failed to get their other targets and are having to overpay for a player in the final year of their contract. Why else have they waited this long to trigger his release clause?Robbo having a cob on about the timing and saying the team was being built around CamBran and the formation changed etc. He seems surprised and bewildered! Pathetic! It was obvious to most that he would leave this summer, He's given us longer service than we expected or deserved. Robbo should have a succession plan in place - no one player is bigger than the club etc. As for the timing, there's still a month of the window left - stop moaning, Karl! Shrewd business from MApp as per.
Unbalanced squad? We always do thoughVery disappointing. Unless we make 3 or 4 signings before Saturday we go into the start of the season with a horrendously unbalanced squad. I just hope we don't yet again find ourselves with a mountain to climb after the first 10 games.
Positive move to snipe at a player who hasn't let us downCam gone, big hole to fill.
Timing poor
However there are proven players out there
My concern is that Henry is not fill in player we need, argued many times should have not renewed his contract.
This probably proves that statement
