How's he made of chocolate?

Seddon is a much better footballer than any of our other defenders , it's just a pity he's made of chocolate.

Nowhere near the quality of Aldred , Hartley or big hutch. The fact that so many are sorry to see him go says more about the quality of our defenders in the last two or three years than anything else. He won't last long in England.

when Seddon signed last year it mentioned the option of an extension. Just wasn't clear who's option (the player or the club) . He's been decent in the games he's played.

That's true, but the new manager's brief should also include "mutualling" any contracts for players he doesn't want.

We have an option on Seddon apparently.

We'll only have ourselves to blame if we go into next season with the majority of the same squad and wonder why we're still crappy.

Completely agree with you . It’s bonkers that we knew the squad was too large and didn’t have enough quality yet could end up with +20 of the same squad

He was a class act tonight. Delighted he was able reproduce his quality and range of passing. Must be worth at least another half mill after that.

Lennon Miller = 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

Yep. As with Casey, and given they weren't detailed in the GTF list, I can only assume we've also offered contracts to Paton, Davor, Moses, Thompson and Seddon. Of that lot, Seddon is the only one worthy of an offer.

I like Casey. He's flawed, but definitely a good defender at our level that would get a game for most teams in our league. Having a defender that can chip in with some goals, and a player with some personality is always nice. On the other hand, our defense overall is poor, so I am not going to be too fussed about anyone leaving it. Not every goal is a defenders fault, but we do have a group of error prone defenders, and not enough going forward to gloss over that.

My brother just said they could double our offer - sad - but it is what is is

I would have preferred casey to stay over mcginn and odonnell but if he did it would have been an even less of a chance to improve our poor defence but now we have a space in the team and a wage to hopefully bring in someone that can make us better.good luck to dan wherever he ends up.

Huddersfield apparently. Been a good servant, not without his faults, but one of our better centre half’s in recent times

I'm personally sorry to see Dan go. Good luck to him wherever he ends up

agree with that - better going forward than he was in defence. What I really struggle with is how many players we offered further contracts to. Do the club really think he'd be part of the solution. I know there were clauses in likes of SODs contact etc but honestly we need to get our act together in this area. As a club we hand out too many contracts to players we should be moving on.

I would too. But if he was appointed I'd give him my support like Id give anyone offered the job

Absolutely none. It's just a general discussion about Scott Brown. I'd be surprised if he was being seriously considered.

I'd worry about the time it is taking once we're past this week, as that would put us on a longer timeline than when we got Wimmer, which also had the work permit time built in. The difficulty this time around is that nothing else is happening because it's the close season, and we announced a couple of signings already, so we're just all bored and waiting for info. The other wrinkle is that we have a good chunk of the squad decided, and yet to realize any funds from a Miller sale, so there's no rush on that front. We also have pre season all sorted and organized, so not much to panic about.

Its time to take him off now he has done his bit.

I get that - but when folk say I think we are talking to this person - there's nothing to substantiate it Of course it's a general discussion. My point was there's nothing to suggest we are talking to Brown - did anyone think we were talking to Wimmer?

Hope a lot of scouts watching him as has looked very good tonight, I know it's only Liechtenstein but he has been very productive. Let the bidding war begin

Well quite. According to someone on Facebook who knows a "source" it's taking so long because we have had so many applications from overseas

There is no evidence we are talking to anyone. And credit to the Club for keeping matters under wraps. So this is just a general discussion about possibilities with various names thrown in.
