Where is Lynne going?

If it's anything like his fullback positioning, he probably doesn't know.

(imho) I think that if Chase was not coming to FC, then it would have been announced by now.
The period of extended negotiations has well past, and nothing is said.

If it had been bad news, then I would think the club would want to get it out of the way as soon as possible.

My opinion would be that he has already signed, or that the club think the chances are good to still be in negotiations.

Think they'd only announce that Chase wasn't coming once they'd sorted a replacement. No point in giving out bad news on it's own.

My reading of the various rumours/statements is that we may be playing chicken with Cas while sorting an alternative. Hope it's settled one way or the other soon - getting fed up of the whole circus TBH.

I'd love chase to come but the club shouldn't pay over the odds. Rome wasn't built in a day and I don't expect all of our problems to be resolved in one close season so maybe we'd be better waiting it out.

Hi , first time poster. Been reading for a few moninherent here. It gets a bit crazy!!!

All I can say is Tommy Lee is not signing for FC. But is however in talks with our red and white neighbours as well as another club so I'm led to beleive.

We won't be signing Daryl Clarke. He's a good player but isn't needed at the club. We already have Houghton and Heremaia as our first choice hookers, plus James Cunningham.
I imagine that we'll see James Cunningham going out on a dual-registration contract for a lot of next season to give him some more experience at a higher level.

that the same holdsworth they were all getting excited about when they tried to sign him before they got green?

Re: More rumours... : Mon Sep 10, 2012 5:48 pm  

Heard whispers earlier in the year that we were trying to move heremaia on, nothing to do with his ability, just that his salary is huge and gentle didn't see value for money

I don’t think they would be able to keep it quiet, as Cas would probably let the news out.

Also, I don’t think announcing bad news with the good news of a replacement is always good policy. I think it could take some of the focus off the replacement.
