IMO three months is a complete p*ss-take. Either we want him or we don't, why offer some half-hearted contract that essentially means we've bottled making a proper decision? Love DC to bits but if he can see anything at all in BB the football club should be offering a one year deal given our lack of cover on the wings.

Haven't seen him play so genuinely cant comment on if I think he's worth a long-term deal. I've heard positive stuff but I havent heard people likening him to Ibrahimovic. I'm pretty apathetic about it tbf, if he does well, he'll be offered better terms; if he doesnt, he wont, presumably. IF he wants the opportunity, he'll take it. I dont need to know the ins and outs of why he's 'only' been offered a 3 month deal. I've got a spag bol simmering.

3 months! Christ we must be skint! Or if he impresses over the three months, great, if not then we can let him go and get in a loanee before the loan window closes. Other clubs who are far more skint than us operate in this manner (short term deals, have a solid core of the squad, utilise the loan market) and have stayed in the FL when we didn't, some have even prospered. I think you're the only one who'd prefer multi-year contracts for players who are potentially unfit/lack the ability

Could you remind me of where I have given you that impression? Then tell me why we might be giving trials to players that have played above our level, yet lack ability.

Quite plausible Bodin is still unfit, and many have arrived here from a higher level and not had the ability required for L2. DC has every right to offer a short term deal, up to Bodin if he wants it.
The assumption that these decisions are always based around £££ (or a lack of it) is a bit boring, we signed Easter and Lines six months ago.

Three good months and then assuming he's done well offer him more? Obviously a risk that someone might offer more but if we offered him a year and he then broke down, we'd be laying into DC saying "hasn't he learned from the JW era?"

I think that if DC was absolutely sure that any of Bodin, Myrie-Williams, Dawson or Della Verde was the answer, he would have offered them a proper contract.
In my opinion, provided that DC sticks with 4-4-2, he is probably looking for a disciplined, right-sided midfielder to play the role that Monkhouse did on the other flank last season. This will enable him to play Leadbitter at right back and get the best out of him in an attacking sense. None of the above mentioned players fit this description. If he plays an out and out right winger I think he will more likely stick with Lockyer at right back, but this would risk us being short in the middle of the park at times.

He wouldn't have brought 3 attacking wingers in on trial without wanting to sign one. We've no money. If monkey was the solution he would have stayed.

Don't know much about Ajala but based on his career to date I would suggest he just wasn't good enough.
I've personally never really rated Myrie-Williams. He couldn't even get in an awful Tranmere side towards the end of last season. Clarke probably offered him what he thought he was worth, not a lot.
Bodin has done pretty well in pre season but he has a poor injury record, so a short term contract to prove his fitness makes sense.

I've heard JMW was offered £1000 for a 1 year contract but wanted £1500 so DC told him where to go.

No one really plans to pick up new players at that time, and if he doesn't make it here, he can't really expect to find anywhere else until the transfer window. Just seems like a really odd offer. Neither one thing or the other.

Neither one thing or the other. On the other hand a three month deal gives Bodin the incentive to work hard to impress and get a longer term deal. I find it refreshing that DC adopts a harder line in contract negotiations. It suggests that we are not going to be saddled with the journey-men on a comfortable deal. We may miss out on some players that can get better deals elsewhere, but I suspect it is a buyers market. Remember that DC managed successfully at Salisbury with no real cash. I just think he is being sensibly prudent.
