SutekhWestYorksRoyal Pictures of TMac in the squad today. So not so imminent that he's been left out.
Nothing settled yet on his proposed move to Pompey then.

£75k? You've got to be joking. What are we meant to do with that derisory amount

I imagine wage savings matter more than the fee, given he signed his contract in the Championship. But still a joke of a deal, we should be pushing for £250k.

Pay some bills. Would also save 6 months salary. So say TMc is on 3k pw, would be around another 75k.
I'm not sure how much more we could get for him. OOC in June, started 3 games all season. Injured twice & even now he's back, he has been last off the bench both times.
He's cover at the mo, which whilst important, we do have other options who could cover. Both experienced & youth.
75k in and 75k saved for someone who isn't a major cog of the squad currently and was likely to leave in June isn't something I will get upset about as a standalone, it kinda makes sense esp with the sell-on. I doubt people would be as upset if it wasn't a player who had come through the Academy.
Not happy if it has been done without the knowledge of the football department again.
Now if we lose another 2 or 3 in the next 3 days, esp. key players, I'll be pretty pissed.
At the moment, can live with who we've lost.

Hound Injury probe L1 bench warmer ooc in the summer . Can’t imagine many scenarios where we’d get much more than 75k.
Shame in some ways, local lad etc, but prob best for all concerned
Saw we sold some youth kid to Soton as well

YorkshireRoyal99 I was hoping McIntyre was going to establish himself as a first team regular but injuries just haven't worked out that way for him unfortunately. Always liked him though, he has been one of my favourite players of the recent times, just a likeable person.

skipper A lot of people saying it's barely a loss, but we have just lost Holmes and Abbey. So I think it's a massive loss. Not just depth, but you know... actual players to actually field.
Not only that, he is Mr Reading through and through. He's bleed blue.
Obviously he's a professional who just wants to get paid at the end of the week, so no doubt will be excellent for Portsmouth, but to lose one of our own is cruel. Abbey just weeks ago said he'd play for free. How did we manage to raise such a passionate generation of players who love the club, and then do this to them?

It's not a massive loss when he simply hasn't been available for the campaign to date and with his recent injury record, is probably only a game or two away from another few weeks out.
We can argue about the quality all we like but he is now, at best, back-up to CB, LB and CDM - so we have the following players who can play those positions and have first team minutes this season:
Holmes
Bindon
Yiadom
Mbengue
Mola
Dorsett
Dean
Hutchinson
Craig
Savage
Rushesha
Carson
Outside of those, we have the following who could also play CB, LB or CDM if needed in the u21s
Stickland
Senga (back from getting first team minutes in Scotland)
Clarke (though needs to get match fit)
Wellens
So yes, for the 3 positions McIntyre can and has covered, we are pretty well stocked. Are all those options better than him, probably not, but are they available? Yes.
