They need to re-sign - HTW although a stuttering year next year, is still potentially a fantastic player. He is still so young

The money we've spent on HTW would have got us benji Marshall for next year, plus he's on over 20k a season as is Deano, & that's a lot of the cap when they don't even look like been anywhere near the first 17.

Sometimes you have to pay to keep a player with undoubted potential, so in years to come you don't need to fork out a transfer fee to bring a half in, when if you had just offered a fair contract to a kid who you know can be a star has ended up leaving the club for the sake of a few grand

So after 4 years with no signs of making the first team, you'd still keep paying them? I get they are young still, but if your good enough your old enough, would you not have got Sneyd? So do you let the kid stay on a bigger salary then others his age who hasn't played first team? & upset the rest.

4 years ago HTW was 15. Not sure you can knock the lad for not making the first team at that age.

Harry must be kept at all costs, by far and away the most skilful kid we've had in many a year. Whether he'll reach his potential (which I see as international honours potential) nobody knows. But I'm damn sure it's worth another few years at £20k+ to find out.

Re: Recruitment wish list : Tue Jun 28, 2016 7:41 pm  

Very few players start playing regularly until they are in the early 20's, Tompkins didn't play regularly until he was 20, Harry is still only 19, still plenty of time and him playing at York will be a massive boost. He should be kept, 20k isn't a lot of s 19 with his potential, I would bet the young kid from Fax is on a similar amount.

I think the money he wants us worth the gamble and hope Radford see it that way, if we don't keep him I think we will regret it and have another Hodgson.

Are you intimating that he was on £20k since he was 15, if not then your arguement is invalid regarding the 4 years and the fact he was only 15 four years ago.
Isn't his current contract one that was done under the approval of Radford/Tony/Pearson, if they saw the potential then and just because he hasn't had any opportunity to play why does that change things regarding a relatively small amount of money? As I've said before, we haven't had a junior rank player get to become a regular first team player since the end of 2013.
Where does the fault lie, exactly why are we signing other teams junior players?

At 15 he cost us 60k to go to Australia.
