I said Crosby should be released months ago and got dogs abuse......

Even we deregistered Ward and Crosby wouldn't their salaries still count on the cap anyway?

As long as they're being truthfulicon_wink.gif

Prior has come in. Walker, Smith, Newman, Handley and Oldeski will either be on upgraded contracts or need their contracts upgrading soon.

All the above are on long term deals now Smith is done. Sinfield deserves a lot of praise for how hes gone about the job.

Nah he's out of his depth.

There’s plenty of cap available, Prior was signed before Merton was released. We were even told that Merton wouldn’t be released until a suitable replacement had been found.

Greenwood is an addition since then, but there is still plenty left in case the right addition is needed.

The only current block in the pipe is the Martin passport situation, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if that’s already been resolved and we are keeping it quiet to keep the costs of a new player down.

Do loan signings (Greenwood) count on the cap?

What does that mean? I think I can guess what you're babbling on about, I don't mind about grammar but at least check it's readable English before posting. FFS.

Secondly, what do you mean? Crosby has had terrible injury complications over the last 18 months, he was behind in pre-season and didn't get running again until towards the end of pre-season, so he's expected to be in contention later this month and if he finds his form he'll be a real asset.

The general tone of these type of posts really leaves a sour taste, as if he's just tossing it off taking his wage and being injured is a happy jolly holiday, when in reality you are isolated from the rest of the team and it can actually take a real mental toll, especially when it's for a long period.

Same

I do have sympathy with Crosby and his awful luck but with hindsight we should have never given him a 2 year contract and no matter how good he is for the rest of the season please don't renew it unless its pay as you play.

Crosby is signed already for next year his deal runs out in 2021 I believe.

For those who want the club to get rid - how? You can’t just ditch a player because he‘s injured

So how would the club do that with still 18 months left on his contract?

In any other employment they could terminate his employment through frustration of contract. If not just retire him through injury surely insurance would cover this as in football? It's a long long time since he played last and still no mention of when he could be back

He may not be ready to retire?
