Sounds fair enough given his injury and how long he was out. I appreciate I know nowt but he recovered & went into full training in the summer. Available for games & training for now 5 months. That's a long time, even after a serious injury & season out, to still only be 70% fit. I guess the question is, does that suggest he's never going to be properly reet ?

Whitesince63 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 He probably means only 70% match fit and we have to remember that they have quality strikers contracted, so obviously they’ll play them first. Also, if there’s a possibility we’ll call him back in January, they’re not going to make him a first choice unless they’re struggling. For me, of more concern is that IE just doesn’t seem to be mentioning him at all, or the likelihood of him being recalled. Maybe he’s not Evatt’s kind of player because let’s face it, he actually shoots and scores goals!! 😌 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should Evatt be talking about a player that isn’t available until January? He’s enough issues with all of our injuries. And as for your comment about him not being an ‘Evatt kind of player as he shoots and scores goals’, ffs, keep that for the Bolton News community eh?

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted December 5, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted December 5, 2021 Good strike for the first. I like the second in particular; good run, decent pace, then a good touch and stayed on his feet- a good trait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyrotten Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Aside from the two very tidy finishes, fair play to Vale, the build up to those goals were both very classy. Also played some good stuff at times in the pizza cup here, definitely look better than some of the weaker sides in league one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanu Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Darcy has talent & is classy on the ball but doesn't look the type to get goals & assists like Dennis. Politic has the edge about him & is greedy enough to take shots on which will get him numbers unlike Ronan who may be better suited to converting as a deeper playmaker linking the play up like Lee does as long as he's coached right. Politic seems to have pissed Evatt off regarding rejecting a contract but nobodies in the wrong as it's easy to see both sides... Bolton don't want to offer him what he thinks he warrants because of the risk of him snapping his knee again ala Holden, Mavies, CYL but in Dennis's case it's a business he needs to earn as much as he can in case injuries do occur so that he's financially secure if anything bad does happen with his career hence him thinking if he smashes it at Vale it will earn him more money in the summer somewhere. Hopefully both parties come to an agreement & we see him in the squad next season maybe even January but it doesn't look likely which is unfortunate because he's no doubt exciting to watch.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted December 6, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted December 6, 2021 Has he rejected it, or just not signed it? Hedging his bets a bit maybe. Whatever his thinking, he's not going anywhere for a particularly big wage. Still to fully prove his worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to Politic, I think he's probably right if he thinks he's likely to get a better contract offer elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read an interview with Daryl Clarke a couple of weeks ago, he said their top earner is on £1,850 a week; he and Flitcroft are keeping wages between £1k and £1,850.

I suppose we can only be accepting or angry about him leaving if we're in possession of the facts, which isn't going to happen. If Politic is offered a 1 year deal on £2k a week at the same time as Delfoneso or Brockbank getting 2 years at £5k a week, it seems fair to be disappointed. If we've offered him 3 years at £8k a week and he turns it down, its easy to let him go. I want him to stay but impossible to know what the alternatives are within the same budget.

Currently, we've offered him a one-year contract, presumably on the same salary (which I imagine isn't very much). I can imagine there's a fairly strong possibility a club in the fourth tier would offer him either equal terms or perhaps slightly less but over a longer period.

Its easy to see both sides. Injured player gets offered an extra year, too much of a risk to offer longer. The player in question feels fit and raring to go and has his admirers, he's not likely to accept the 1 year. You're probably right, the money will be fairly similar given its going to be either league 2 or lesser league one clubs, realistically (or Stockport/Wrexham).
