100%, we have just let our best player go for free to a rival, as it stands we have no replacement, we have this before, players rumoured to come and then last minute change their mind, I'd like to see this confirmed to ease my concerns

Exactly this especially when fan frustration and apathy is at all time high due to the dismal stuff served up for at least the oast 4 seasons.
With the club wanting/needing membership renewals and to attract new ones then releasing your better players and not having replacements to announce at the same time is hardly going to help increase the numbers or engender positivity in the fan base, more so it increases negative thoughts and feelings.

Jack Walker looks like he’s off to Bradford

In different circumstances would like us to have kept him, but looks like Hoy is the full back in waiting, Shaul still here & Litten looks the part as well.

Wish him luck, he’s a good player.

4-6 month injury to Connor.

Think that reinforces the decision to let him go was the correct one. 4-6 months will most likely be if all goes well with his recovery and rehab with no set backs and Watson seems to be going on the earliest possible recovery time. Even at 4-6 months he's likely to miss all of pre season so which for us would have been an issue with him not being fit or fully for the first 3 to 6 games of the season given we will already missing Truman at the start. As good a player as Connor is he has never struck me as being the most dedicated of players in regards to putting the effort in at training.

I guess his unfortunate injury record has possibly counted against him to an extent. Also Leeds confirming despite Walkers exit Hardaker will still not be getting a new deal at Leeds as terms couldn't be agreed. Definitely S/L standard but the Championship will be very interesting next season with three or four teams recruiting hard to make it into S/L for the last time . Hope Toulouse make it back but can see Bradford making a major push

Completely agree, good move and few FC players seem to have wished him well either which I guess speaks for itself. however over the past few years he was the quickest healer in our squad, and invariably back before his scheduled recovery date (which perhaps with our past rehab team is hardly surprising) so he might reduce that a bit.
