Mckram Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 3 hours ago, Millenniumram said: Is that another player set to turn Warne down and join somewhere else I see? Surely this is a wind up? There’s about 100 different ways this could have played but you’re picking the most negative one. I’m not saying you’re wrong. But unless you know the player or Warne personally then how do you know we have even offered him something and if we have offered then how do you know how much Warne rates him? We could have offered less a week and said he would be 2nd choice. At least wait until the first game of the season before slating recruitment.

There was a photo in the Huddersfield Examiner from 1929 showing a player holding a darts trophy .. The headline was “Team Captain, Darren with the Cup” but clearly as West Yorkshire has its own individual speech patterns, time has altered this headline to “Darren Witcoop” I've watched the Gallows Pole (subtitled version) so I know what you're saying...🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ram1988 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Hard working centre forward whose proven himself in League One. An ideal signing for me considering we only have one senior centre forward in our squad. Premier ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Thompson isn't a Warne type player despite winning 60% of his 5 aerial duels during his limited game time. There is absolutely zero chance Warne would be interested in a CF who won 8% of his 49 aerial duels and one who played almost every game last season. May only competed for 49 aerial duels. I'm certain Warne won't even consider signing a CF who has won less than that. Harrison, Smith, Nombe and Cosgrove would be more realistic targets based on style.

As little as it sounds, that would represent a massive gain on him for Cheltenham, who signed him for £5k in Jan 2020. SKRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Daly Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 We signed David Nish for more than that in the days when it cost 60p to stand on the Popside and £1.20 to sit down SKRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 We don't want May, if he is going elsewhere he clearly isn't very confident with his GIF credentials... If that's the kind of person he is, he clearly isn't a Warne player and we don't want players like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the new head of recruitment will earn his corn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanoakaram4life Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 May is a no for me! He’s on the downward trajectory. A player like Bonis (the Irish striker we were linked with earlier in the window) would excite me more! I’m sure Mark Thomas and Paul Warne have done their research!

Probably worth a gamble as an option if it is £200k but not one too get too het up about. Tamworthram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
