Ditto, I'd prefer him to stay at FB but where does that leave Platt ?

Stood with a gauntlet on the floor in front of him.

at last, we have managed to keep some young tallent instead of letting them all go to our rivals.
i think this is the first step in the right direction for macca.

Excellent.

I can't be doing with all this good news. Its makes the board too dull.

We can but hope.

Exellent news, its becoming a habit. Can't wait until Sunday's game!

Great news.

Let's hope the others we want to stay are being signed up as we speak.

Young, quick, local and academy trained, this is exactly the sort of deal we want to see.
From what's happened it looks like his last one year deal was a kick up the which he's responded to the right way.

Nope. The 1 year deal before was because the club wouldn't offer decent terms on a longer deal, so Halley himself opted for just 1 year, presumably with the intention of proving himself.

Thank f/uck for that. I'm delighted! That's excellent news and as long as he keeps his current form Platt won't get a look in. Delighted.

Really pleased to read this

Correct, which he has done - so the plan worked well for all parties involved. Pressure on Platt now to get a starting jersey back for next year. Good to have competiton for all places though.
