i am talking about managment doubts, the youth team won the league last season and a few of them were offered pro terms so there is no doubts with them and half the first team have been dumped except the new ones havn't played yet!!

I still think we should cash in now on Matty.
Realistically he will be in the reserves or on the bench at best come the start of the season, and that's hardly likely to improve his confidence. Then we will be left with a striker low on confidence, not in the team, and increasingly distant from the last time he was actually any good, which doesn't make for a particularly saleable asset.
The alternative is to stick him in the team regardless (at the expense of Hume, DJ, Cort, new striker?) and hope he can suddenly rediscover what he hasn't really shown for more than a year. It's a gamble - if he doesn't come good pretty quickly then he'll be a confirmed flop and virtually worthless.
The last time we hung on to a player who wanted to leave and wasn't guaranteed a first team spot was when we turned down good money from Sunderland for Maybury. That looks like a really stupid decision now...

It seems to be clearing away and some sun is breaking through……

He was seen leaving Morrison's in Leicester with a bag of goods that, rumour has it, contained a multi-pack of Diet Coke. Experts have seen this as a clear sign that he is planning on moving to the area and signing for Leicester City this week.
Dear Singth... it was diet pepsi. Please get your facts right. Honestly, some people.

I think we should move on Fryatt too. But the signs all point to us having a serious shortage of fit, viable strikers - I dismiss Cort completely as a ludicrous mistake so you are left with DJ and Hume. In those circs and given that Milan is able to bank roll the club, we can't and don't need cash in on Fryatt until we have brought in someone half decent - McLeod or whoever.

realistically we arent going to see Cort untill mid september at the earliest. Hence why MDV is getting a go.

i agree when cort comes back he will be short on match fitness so will probably not make an appearance until mid september

I guess lots of people read other clubs' match reports like I do. Especially Sunday papers.
The Cort story is always the same: he is out injured; getting injured or quite commonly returning from injury and sited (not a typo) on the subs bench. He comes on and is described as "rusty", "not match fit" or something similar. The next thing you read he is injured again and out for " probably 6 weeks".....and so it goes in a never ending cycle.
I realise he cost nothing and presumably Milan has linked spending his money to appearances made.....and it is Milan's concern and his money but I honestly think he should be discounted for all planning purposes.
Sadly we have to disregard MDV - he just isn't going to get a chance from our fans and probably isn't quite good enough at this level anyway....so I just don't think we are equipped to sell Fryatt at this moment tho' he has to go when feasible.
