2023/24 Mason Holgate

….it’s an example of them not being able to effectively rate a player.

If folk on here were posting years ago how much of a liability Holgate was, then we need a DoF who recognises that. It was similar with Keane.

As I said at the time with Keane, you don’t reward them with a new deal when they’re playing well and their stock is high, you sell them because you know the improvement is temporary. It’s why I keep saying we need a DoF who’s a proper football man.

And someone who can negotiate deals that don't strangle the club.

This is an absolutely dreadful deal for the club

Pathetic

Just pocketed £100m and convinced Everton to cover 50% of Holgate wages

Acumen mate, acumen...

Sort it out you lot. Is it 70%, 50% or ?? Or is it you haven't a clue and just guessing? My guess is zero %.

How much to loan him mate ? My guess is zero again.

 

[mahermi1]

Nothing much by the sounds of it. For me that's on thelwell as bill is out of the picture right now....allegedly.

Love to know what Hotel...err I mean Hospital Bill is in as I could send him flowers..

You actually believe that a Championship club are going to pay £72k a week for an average player brought in on loan??

So glad Moshiri kept him on board to navigate us through this difficult transfer window

Holgate is a classic example of the club wetting itself when a player has a handful of good games and giving them a bumper new contract. Look at Besic, had about 2 good games and we ludicrously gave him another long contract.

I dunno. I'm sure when he was offered a new deal he'd played regularly under Ancelloti (26 times and praised the hell out of him), arguably looked like our best CB next to Mina. Got linked to City when the were playing Fernandino at CB. Also won Players Player of the Year 19/20.

3 years later things have just fallen off a cliff for him since.

He is a better defender than Keane and Godfrey. Not saying a lot I know, but would rather he was playing.

As much as I detest Keane especially, I actually disagree with this. Holgate has really nosedived over the last 2 years. Every bit as much a liability as Keane.
