That's nonsense. Jamie's contract blatantly doesn't offer value for money in it's current state in a similar way to Platty. If we could keep both and still improve the overall squad that would be great but I imagine that on the current wages it's financially impossible. From their pov, if I had been offered the same role in my work for half the pay I'd be moving on fairly sharpish too. I'll be gutted to see him go but not as gutted as I was to see Beaver go to Catalans and continue being the best player in the league, just somewhere else. Jamie has never lived up to being "the next Andy Farrell". He's not a touch on the top Loose Forwards in the league and he hasn't really made a great transition up through the pack. He's a solid player but nothing more. There really is no place for sentiment towards the squad. I'm far happier at retaining Donno and Addy than if they had both gone and we had kept Langley for "sentimental value". Let the new signings continue!

Gutted to see Langers leave, I was still secretly hoping for him to sign on for another year but it seems pretty obvious to me what has happening with Langers and Platt.... Langers is a great player, hard worker, good defender and always gives his all but no matter what player it is if they price isn't right you just cant keep them.

We aren't in a position to through silly money at anyone and I think its pretty obvious a contract would have been signed for Langers if he would have been able to accept less money, he couldn't accept it so that's it really. I have always liked Langers and I wish him all the best and will still sing his song when he lines up for his next team

I don't think anyone can say Langers was a bad player or anything but he probably was on too much money for the club these days

I don`t see a great deal of difference between Langley and Donno, except Donno`s on probably a third to half Langer`s wage. To me it`s a no brainer.

I know from an excellent source that Platt and Langley were on very good money indeed and they were going to need to take a big cut to properly reflect their position in the squad.

Donno has already passed the ball more times this season than Langley has done in his entire career.

About ten years - that seems like one reasonable difference?

Langley has been a good honest grafter for theBulls for the last ten years, but FC is rightly looking at the next ten years
