If we had this kid on loan from higher up we’d all be bemoaning the fact we’d have no chance of signing him. If we’re not in contract talks with him already then we’re run by clowns.

Some fanny on the train yesterday didn't like it when I said he wasn't going to be here long term and realistically we are just keeping him warm until a good offer comes in for him. The reality of L2.
This fanny then said if we were in L1 he could see Pointon staying long term... I lolled at that and said it's crucial we get to L1 with Pointon, not becuase he'll stay but because it whacks a few more £100ks on a transfer fee and a lot more % on a future sell on. The longer we're in L2 and others notice him and he'll be bought for peanuts.
Pointon is not going to be kicking around L1/L2 if he continues developing under the right people. And despite 2017, we aren't going to be a Championship club under Rupp now.

He may not go on to be the most successful player we have produced but he will be the best player we've produced in my lifetime. If he can find an extra yard of pace he would be unplayable outside of the prem.
We need to tie him to a 5 year contract and give him 4figures a week. He's English, a leftie and all he does comes natural to him. A club like Boro/Leeds/Southampton/Sunderland and even prem teams like Burnley and Brighton will pay big money for players like him and improve him

We need to tie him down first though.

Be worth it for the meltdown from our cluster fuck of a fan base, 'why do we always sell out best players etc?' Cos we ain't got a fucking pot to piss in you insufferable twats. And we don't have an owner who will speculate on young talent.

But he's one of us We don't want players who don't love the club What's the appeal of (insert established CH club with immeasurably far better record of development than we have)?

Would giving him a new contract upset the other lads? 😭

We aint keeping him and he and we would be mad to try long term.
Maybe keep him this season, but then anything over £100k and a 15%+ sell on and we're laughing
That sell on is the key though. We don't make our money by selling on this lad, it's his next sale which we cash in on so choosing then right club to land him with is more important than the cash fee

What happens next week, does he get a look in? We haven't won in 4, lost the last 2 - and him and Chapman see Derbyshiresaurus come on ahead of them.
He may be a boyhood fan, but if I were him and didn't get a look in at Colchester I'd be telling my agent to get me out of here.
It'll be a big black mark against GA if he drives Pointon out while giving game time and bench space to the 35+ year club members.

We were crying out for someone to put their foot on the ball in midfield and make something happen, ala Pointon or Chapman. Instead we endure football that makes Parkys football look like Guardiola, the finest example of hoofball you could hope to see. If this is a sign of things to come then i'm worried, i'd have to think twice about a new season ticket if all i'm gonna watch is 100% direct football.

I've got no issue with direct / hoof it it works or looks like working at least. Thing is today, like Morecambe and Notts, we get picked apart by teams that play it on the floor and move it forward and it makes our direct style with no end product look even more backward. Back to Pointon - this isn't an approach or style for him or his way of playing. And at his age he it's crucial his next contract helps develop his carer, and staying here ain't it.
