Didnt we hand out a couple of new contracts at the end of last season/summer?

I find it strange he wasnt offered an extension with the same terms he has now, surely Ross would have had him down as one for a contract renewal?.....wonder if there was sonetjing in the story of his agent turning an offer down out of hand after all?

Reading between the lines, we sat down with JMc to discuss a new deal. He wanted more than we were prepared to pay at this point so we've left it for now.
He's a decent keeper, but I don't think he's worth breaking the bank for. If we go up, I'd be looking for a new keeper anyway as he's shown nothing in his career to suggest he's better than L1

There is the issue, it sound like he wants a significant increase in wages as he won't be getting a signing on fee like last time when he was a free agent.

It's in his bank accounts best interests to move as a free agent and as others have said he seems to move under such circumstances frequently.
 
Burge isn't better than McLaughlin like, wouldn't say it's really that close.

If you wanna talk about mistakes then let's not forget Burge putting a simple save right into the path of a Burton player about 40 seconds after we'd gone 1-0 up.

John was costing us a goal a game earlier in the season

All keepers make mistakes, though.

Burge isn’t better than JM, but I wouldn’t be too worried if he ended up number 1.
 
If we were a switched-on club I’d trust that we could sell McLaughlin and either replace him or put the transfer fee to good use elsewhere. Simply don’t have that level of trust at present, though, so would rather he stayed.
 
Id say burge has looked better this season im just not wording things greatly i just meant i still think we would be fine with him in goal.

Thats the point though, why gamble on being fine for the sake of a few quid in the bank now? We're really solid at the back at the minute and that could push us on to promotion. There's nothing to be gained by selling JMc now.
 
Be a good move for him that. Still in the north of England, would probably get games. Signing on fee, possibly higher wage. Higher level of club at present.
