Apart from if a player commits a very serious crime (Adam Johnson for example) or gross misconduct at work similar to any other job it's impossible to cancel a player's contract without buying it out The PFA would also no doubt become involved if a player thought he was being unfairly treated in...

For the lad The text book case for how to treat a young prospect is Dele Alli. His agent talked to all the Premier League clubs who were interested then did a deal with the team (Spurs) who were prepared to leave him as part of a League 1 promotion season before giving him a chance next pre season

I believe so

Reid is back with us from today Not all fans will agree but the most sensible thing would be for Reid to make his peace with Robins He will have to be fined for his sending off but if he gets his head down he could be useful in the coming months He's got something all teams need - pace. He...

His agent has a good reputation compared to many in the game. Hopefully he'll get good advice. The sensible thing is to stay in what will hopefully be a promotion campaign then look at options in the summer

Agree to some extent but it's only a few weeks since Mark McNulty was getting stick even though he was working like a dog and doing everything bar scoring Really hope Max gets off the mark soon Others have said he had a similar start at Sutton If he starts scoring I reckon we'll tonk a few teams...

The National League is much more physical than L2 or L1 JMD did very well in that League last year for Dagenham & Redbridge Their fans look back fondly on his time with them Ironically he followed JJ there after he joined us now he's following him again after Jones ACL injury

Bayliss' outstanding form has allowed Kelly to take the time needed for his heel to recover He'd been playing with it for weeks which affected his mobility It will be great to have a fully fit Kelly back when he's ready especially as Doyle is bound to need a rest at some point

Yeah I suppose Maybe he already has another club but was cup tied so came along one last time

Maybe he's changed his mind Everyone else wanted him to extend his loan including his own agent

Danny Cowley was effusive about JMD. It may be similar to the Duke where the lad himself wants to try somewhere else. Our style may be more suited to him - some of the Lincoln fans said the same thing JMD is more in the JJ mould We'll see soon enough

Daggers fans have a very different opinion of JMD

I may have missed it but I can't remember (m)any saying Robins wanted Duke out. Quite the opposite especially when he decided to pass to his team mates

Interesting that his agent advised him to stay. I know they are decent compared to many others The Duke is possibly believing his own publicity This agent also represents Bayliss so hopefully they will give him the same good advice

I heard that we wanted £1.5m but Brentford offered £500 then £750k. They wanted the lad but wouldn't meet our valuation Ben was doing well at the time so probably encouraging for this window

Tbh I suspect (hope) that Robins will be given the help he needs in this window - mainly by the owners allowing him to hold onto the best players until the end of the season Fisher has talked about not selling 'at the bottom of the cycle' Promotion would make us a more attractive proposition...

His agent will have drafted that

It's funny how football is especially with very young players Ponti was the flavour of the month until going two or three first team games without scoring If he gets 4 in 5 games next time he's in the clamour will start again He has great movement but like all young forwards stepping up he has...

Maycock actually played for the first team several times last season Apparently the players rate him but he hasn't shown his full potential so far when he's had the chance He's still very young and has the size and skills but needs to become stronger both physically and mentally

Very true STP Despite having the owners we do those in charge of the Academy can be very proud of the job they've done It's a self fulfilling set up as Midland based parents with home town clubs currently in the top divisions will bring their lad to Cov knowing they'll get a chance with the...
