What would his going rate be, he’s L2 As it stands coming off the back of a bad injury. Is he worth the risk and contract? He’s not going to want one year and there will be higher offers 

Hard to say, its down to opinions really.  Not sure he's league 2 any more than Dapo or Santos were league 2 last year, looked very much league 1 standard to me in the games he played for us (I accept his injury is now a factor unfortunately for him).  I'm not saying its right or wrong to keep him, just that if a player turns down a contact it doesn't mean he doesn't want to play for us, in his situation he's not likely to turn down bigger contracts to play for us (and a manager that seems a bit lukewarm towards him).

I would of thought the best course of action would be to welcome  him back in jan have a look at him see how he shapes up .    Then you can either release him or offer him a deal .

even ifs coming of the bench must be a better option than say delfouneso .

I don't think I've ever met you, but you're possibly a better option off the bench than Delfouneso right now. His head/heart have gone.

😁

Having thought about it some more: it's a no brainer to bring him back.

Have a look, and a place on the bench initially. 

If he succeeds, and its felt he's worth upgrading his offer the great, don't need to go looking elsewhere. 

If he doesn't succeed, or indeed sulks or makes it clear he's not staying, then find we again know where we stand. Nothing lost.

Lad got injured.

We extended his contract and looked after him.

We sent him out on loan to get games/fitness

Whilst on loan, he has declined returning the contract extension compliment.

Bring him back, play him at hartlepool and if his attitude is OK, get him on the bench for the Ipswich game.

If he's not right, make him spend the last 6 months of his contract cleaning the bogs in ESL, the ungrateful bible-bashing cunt.

Pretty much.

Certainly worth having a look and maybe a chat.

An opportunity for Evatt to practice his "man management".

Strange one in that he's only 21 and has played 100 games for Wimbledon but was sent out on loan to Newport in January, seems odd for a 1st team regular.  Sheehan will know him well then.

Suppose this is the 'fight' in midfield we need.    Yet some will still moan because we havent signed him from Chelsea or liverpool.

Alf's son?

Think he's out of contract In the summer,  but presumably some sort of fee due for a 21 yr old.

Very impressed if we get this deal done. 

He's clearly a defensive type, doesn't score goals. Playing alongside MJ or instead, what do WW folk think?

👍

He'll fit into this team then!  

Difficult to comment on a player I've never seen so I'll trust IEs judgement.  The signings I'm looking forward to seeing in Jan are those with the potential to increase the goals for column indirectly or directly.  No disgrace in conceding 1 goal away at Cambridge, Sheff Wed, Sunderland, Pompey, Wycombe, Accy.  Its the consistent "nils" that IE will be looking to address.

Not one of mine. He favvers Sylvester Stallone. He’d favver Gollum if he was mine.
