Snowflake Royal I really hope we can tie TMc down. He's right on the verge of being first choice. Morro can only last so long and Moore has to move on eventually. One of them will decline or leave soon.
Same here. I've not found myself checking, hoping on or waiting for an announcement across socials for a very long time, not even with signings.
TMc is a local guy, he looks like he has bags of potential and just that club spirit that I don't think you can replace with any form of purchase. Maybe his injury is bad and the club is concerned about that? But I really think if we let a player like him go, we are really going down a poor path which (as dramatic as it sounds) is just going to rip a bit of a soul out of the club and academy.
Let's face it - where does the drive in the academy come from if you've seen a player come in, be extremely great (under Bowen), an almost instant fan favourite and then step up under a new manager and replace one of the most important players (Moore was in far greater form when he was injured and TMc came in), perform brilliantly (albeit that one game early in the season) and then be used as an almost utility man across the pitch and still perform brilliantly and have that not deemed good enough for a decent contract offer. I know he's been offered a contract - but surely for his love from the club it must be a pretty dyer offer if he's not snapped it up!
