Re: Who should be on the retained list?
 

Harvey was one of three under discussions, but on Wikipedia it claims his “current” club is Grimsby, so I guess he’s moved back to the east coast.

S’funny how, having looked elsewhere, they’re back looking at The Wham.

Re: Who should be on the retained list?
 

Well, he was in Marlborough Road shop just a couple of hours ago so hasn't gone anywhere - yet

Re: Who should be on the retained list?
 

Strange, I just googled Harvey's name & the Wikipedia page that came up says his current club is Stanley - maybe he's still making his mind up

Re: Who should be on the retained list?
 

You’re right, Accymad.
Someone’s obviously been playing Wikigames when I looked, but hope he does stay.

Re: Who should be on the retained list?
 

Lots of online press reports saying Harvey is on his way to Grimsby. Would like to believe they're wrong but the fact that he hasn't signed a new contract and the suspicion that they'll be prepared to give him more money doesn't give me a lot of hope. Looks like Wikipedia were just jumping the gun.

If Harvey has been commuting from York, commuting between there and Cleethorpes is not a lot better.

Wish Harvey all the best except when he plays against us. Preston now rumoured to be interested in Tommy.

Re: Who should be on the retained list?
 

Tommy will go, of that I am sure...........

Re: Who should be on the retained list?
 

After Harvey leaving, Tommy's loss would be massive.

Two or three hundred thousand wouldn't be bad business for a crumb at the last minute table nobody else seemed to want.

Re: Who should be on the retained list?
 

If I rumours were correct, Stanley earned a similar figure for the Leeds Utd cup tie in January. The only problem was that the transfer window closed almost immediately afterwards, so the money didn’t strengthen the squad for the latter half of the season. The results of which we now live with.
The current transfer window doesn’t close until September 1st, by which time Stanley will have played five games.
So, like what happened with Burgess, a valuable player can get sold when the season has begun and it could be too late to spend the fee on a comparable replacement.
I agree with his Lordship - I’d rather Tommy stays for at least the first half of the season rather than our best players are sold off and, a month into the season, the club is left struggling to pick up free agents or searching for non-league rough diamonds, again.
