This is the poster who said Naughton and Pryce were "mistakes that would bite us" and "players we just don't need". He also wanted to keep Joe Arundel.

Got to give him some credit though, the troll gets plenty of bits responding to the bile he spouts.

Let's face it, he doesn't really know who Connor is. If he did, it would be pretty obvious to him that Connor is exactly the type of player Huddersfield would want to keep. Somehow, his warped mind twists it negatively to brand Connor a 'cast off' 7 months before he'll even put on a Hull shirt. Obviously he must be aware of the inner workings of the Huddersfield board room and their decision to let him go. Fact.

Coincidentally, I watched one of our 'cast offs' today at Cas. Looked pretty ordinary. Yet, Bumpy's lovechild Ben Crooks, despite being released early from his contract isn't a cast off? More double-standards from the resident moron.

Ok. Genuine questions blah blah blah. Let's have a look....

Is that really a 'genuine' question you expect people to answer seriously? You've loaded it with your own negative opinion.

"no faith"
"really that bad"
"cast off"
"lowly club"
"no pedigree"

All in one sentence. And you don't understand why you get the attention you do?

A genuine question would've been something like, "should we be worried that our fringe youth players aren't breaking through" or " is Connor better than what we already have at the club". Those would've been genuine, but a loaded question full of bile isn't.

For what it's worth I think you have a point on the youth, it's worth the discussion - you just make the point really badly and it usually ends in Radford getting slated as per usual.

He knows everything you won't win, when you do question him/her they call you idiotic, absolute moron, who knows naff all, other then to knock the club, our club, that's sitting top & in the quarter final of the CC.

.... a lot of money to pay for a "reject". :)






Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?

"We made him (Connor) the largest offer ever made to player of his sage, so to have that rejected is very disappointing," Thewlis told League Express."

But we were told he was a cast off with no pedigree?

if his contract starts after his 22nd birthday, then no fee. Surely?

I think you are right, don't all contracts finish at the end of October, so his contract would start in the 1st November when he is 22, so no fee is required.

Crafty on our part saying contract only agreed in principle so he will have his medical at the end of the year and then sign the contract after his birthday. Guess we are saying there that if he failed the medical then we couldn't sign him, that's the principle bit.
