Not my choice. But better than we have. As always will give him a chance

Re: Shopping list for 2025 : Thu May 09, 2024 1:39 pm  

He’s better than what we have, despite his many off field things I’ve never seen his playing attitude questioned. Plus he tends to behave himself for the 1st year at a club at least.

All the other signings whether loan or term have some logic behind them. He's a player well in to his thirties and has been on the decline for years.

For me more importantly after all the trouble he's caused over the years it's bewildering that we have gone anywhere near him. He clearly hasn't learned lessons after the latest drink driving episode.

Good job Scott Moore has retired.

What an astute signing Liam Tindall was, gone on loan to Bradford.

Don't worry we will sign Charnley.

Pearson and Myler must have been having a session on Zak's favourite stuff when they dreamed up these signings...no plan, no longevity, no prospect of anything other than more of the same but with journeymen mercenaries.

Write off the next 10 years.

Like any player that comes to play for FC, I'll give them a chance.

We have the youngest squad in the super league and it shows.
Signing players with this type of experience is a MUST if we want our youg lads to learn from seasoned pros.

Yes, his off field choices haven't been great, I'm not defending any of that. But on field he has been a top player forany many years and will bring a lot of knowledge to the side.

I'm willing to wait and see on anyone we sign.

"Think it’s clear the focus is on 2025 and getting the right players in for next season rather than compromising".

Signing Hardaker makes a mockery of that idea

Lot of bed wetting from some. Bottom line he's miles better than we have albeit does come with baggage. Let's see how he goes shall we
