One thing that makes me more indifferent about Matty signing than previous strikers we have had.
When the likes of Lambert, Stewart and Hayles left, they were proven goalscorers at the level we were playing at. Remember Richard Walker? Got a big contract, and couldn't hack it in the division above.
There is a chance that Matty will take a hefty signing on fee and wage for us (and 2-3 year deal) and not cut the mustard in league one. Of course I would like him to sign, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

or he's about to sign for a new club when his contract expires with us? If he was going to stay with us is he really going to wait until the last moment before signing just in case another club makes him an offer.
Why not?
He may even take time after his contract expires in order to get the best deal. He won't be paid during that time but it doesn't mean he has to sign for anyone before his current contract expires.

It's plausible that his agent is pitting clubs against each other in a bidding war. But then, reverse the situation. If an agent was doing that to us and he represented a Conference striker, would we bother chasing? I'd imagine the offers get worse as time goes on too. It's all a bit weird, at least we'll know either way by Friday.

At that point I'd say thanks but no thanks to his agent. There are other strikers out there, and I'm sure their agents won't take the pish. Surely DC thinks like that too? He'll have someone else lined up thankfully.

Chimp seems to think he has signed and it will be announced this afternoon, I don't trust him but let's hope he is right this time

That's exactly what I was thinking the other day; its a risk for us to lump everything on his new contract in a league he has never played in, and an even bigger risk for Championship clubs reportedly sniffing around.

I'm going to make a prediction (I've been right about us going up and how we did it, right about Bexit and the percentages and right about last night's debacle, so I'm clearly either a witch or very clever. (go for the witch one) ; MT will sign for us, or he may sign for a club in our division or lower. He will not sign for a SPL or championship club .I think it will be for us.

I can't honestly see another Div 1 club being in a position to offer MT a better contract than we can offer, given we're likely to be one of the better Div 1 payers and I would imagine MT is the last player we want to lose after TL.

Really? Charlton, MK Dons, Sheff Utd to think of a few that could if they wanted.

Bolton, Charlton, Coventry, MK Dons, Millwall, Peterborough, Sheffield United could all offer better contracts than us and are all likely to do better than us?
