It's annoying because as I said earlier, him pissing us about is meaning we can't replace him yet, money is tight as it is, we can't bring in a replacement because we've still got an offer on the table.Don't know why so many people are getting their knickers in a twist about Thomas.
Just presume he isn't going to be here in a couple of weeks. If for some reason he is, then great, he has to fight for his place like the others.
Sort of sternly johnHe is loved, just obviously sternly.
I agree, our fans somehow struggle to recognise a quality player... Jacob Murphy being one, but George Thomas ran around a lot, he picked out the wrong passes regularly and missed easy chances, he did it against Peterborough... granted he scored one but could have had 3/4
He's in there same school as Jim O'Brien he ran around a lot but generally flattered to deceive
Talking about strikers, Michael Smith may be an option from Portsmouth? At 6 foot 4 he would be a presence in the box.
Scored goals for Swindon in the season they embarrassed us on Sky didn't he?Him and Gary Roberts have been reportedly been enquired about by a few clubs and not featuring for Portsmouth too.
Smith was allowed to leave loan at Northampton the second half of the season after our January target Eion Doyle joined Pompey.
I'm using him as an example, two different players. All I'm saying is George Thomas ran around a lot but didn't do much. What did he bring to the team?Comparing him to Jim O'Brien just further strengthens my point.
That makes no sense at allI couldn't give a rats ass if Thomas stays or goes. Like I've said before, none of our current crop are worth crying over when we used to have players like Keane, Dublin, McCallister etc

So the delay has been CCFC negotiating with Swansea and now Leicester on a fee, rather than George not being able to make a decision? Well, colour me shocked.
It's in the papers today 500k to LeicesterIve been told he is off to Leicester and been offered £5k a week. No surprises there then.
You know what. I'm not bothered if George Thomas goes. Did fuck all for half the season and improved a bit towards the end.
That's twisting what it says slightly. It's still his decision to make, it's possible that he wants to go to Leicester but they won't commit until a fee has been agreed so they don't have to go to a tribunal and pay more than they want.So the delay has been CCFC negotiating with Swansea and now Leicester on a fee, rather than George not being able to make a decision?

HereWhere has this come from?
Andy King who made 35 appearances last season and Ben Chilwell who made 20.How many of Leicester's current first team have graduated through their academy? (I genuinely don't know the answer)
From a ccfc point of view, as much as I would like him to stay, he's definitely replaceable.
For the lads career, I think he'd be making a big mistake moving back to under 23 football just for a bit of money. Think he'll go backwards and he's likely to get lost amongst the myriad of more talented players. He may eventually make it at Premier league level but think he'd be better off proving himself at a lower level first.
To extend your logic it doesn't matter if we lose every game because we're not in the top flightI'm saying that none of the players we have now could lace the boots of the 'glory days' players we used to have. So I'm not going to cry over mediocre players leaving.
What are you failing to understand?

Agree with this
By all accounts he's a really good lad and we all saw him run himself into the ground last year
Of course he's not got the god given talent of some other youngsters but he has a great work ethic and plenty of players now and in the past play at the top level because they are their team's grafters
If he and his agent have any sense they will do a deal where he is loaned back either here or somewhere else he will get game time

Thomas is out of contract, he could have signed for whoever he wanted weeks ago.So the delay has been CCFC negotiating with Swansea and now Leicester on a fee, rather than George not being able to make a decision? Well, colour me shocked.

That's not how it works, at all. Because we offered him a contract, we are entitled to Compensation which would be decided by a tribunal.Thomas is out of contract, he could have signed for whoever he wanted weeks ago.
He could sign the contract with whoever and whenever he wants, it would be down to the clubs to then either agree a compensation package or send it to a tribunal if it can't be agreed. CCFC aren't holding up the signing as we are powerless to stop it.That's not how it works, at all.

Swansea and Leicester want George. They also both didn't want his signing to go to a tribunal, which can be unpredictable, so they decided to try and negotiate a transfer fee with CCFC. Swansea balked at the cost and left the table. Leicester are still interested and negotiating with CCFC - which is causing the hold-up.
