Alex hartridge?

A signing like this would send a very powerful message about our current aspirations. He's a bottom half L1/top half L2 player. I'd be amazed if he joined tbf He's absolute toss, quite apart from the fact he played for Exshitter

Possible replacement for Mitchell already lined up. Local lad.

Who?

I don’t have much faith in Mitch re joining. Location always seemed to be an issue and heard he was on £18k a week at Charlton. Just don’t think we can afford that sort of deal and think Oxford makes way more sense to him when you take the sentiment out of it.

Hartridge is a good player. Not the same calibre but a decent L1 defender with a lot of experience at this level.

There is 0 chance Alex Mitchell was on 18k a week at Charlton.

Alex Hartridge seems ok. Possibly more of a Galloway replacement.

 

[oldage]

I have faith in Tom Cleverley and DA to find a suitable replacement if Mitch doesn’t sign. I suspect DA in particular has already compiled a list of potential targets for most positions. Can’t wait for the transfer window to open.

He has a massive throw. Which seems to be in vogue these days. I'd take him.

Couldn’t agree new terms with Burton hence him leaving .

If he's not good enough for Burton what would suggest we would want him - apart from the fact he's from Devon?

Who said he's not good enough for Burton?

 

[Goody]

Who said he's not good enough for Burton?

Yes, that is odd as there are several comments from Burton fans (under the clubs announcement) on FB, that he would be a loss and was one of their best players last season.

I took that as they it's mentioned on the Burton club sites that his contract ran out which they decided to not renew.?

Couldn't agree terms apparently, which could mean he wanted to be paid more and feels he can get more elsewhere.
