Just around the corner, so next time I see him I’ll ask him ….

But gutted when she told me.

I had heard that he was going back to Huddersfield on a free.

If he did leave, it wouldn't be a free transfer, it would be because his contract expired. We cant ask for a fee anyway.

In his situation it equates to the same thing.

No it doesn't. A transfer is a deal between two clubs. This wouldn't be a transfer. He could join anyone he likes when his contract finishes and City would have no say in it.

I’ve been on a bike, car, aeroplane, but never on a free, what is that please?

I saw him mentioned on a Forest twitter feed earlier today. Replacement for Samba, apparently, though to be fair, most of the contributors weren't that impressed with the idea.

He’s moving back to Huddersfield, but that’s his home town, so he could play for anyone within an hour of there.

You'll have the pedants on your case shortly

What about Aberdeen or LA Galaxy?

Most clubs let the message board contributors decide the signings .

As his contract has expired what will he be leaving for?

[dml1954]

Perhaps I should turn the question around and ask you how he can leave on any type of transfer when his contract will have expired and he can sign for anybody he likes. The word transfer implies an agreement between two clubs. No such agreement exists in this case, if in fact he doesn't sign a new deal here.

[TWGL1]

What’s the difference between a free transfer pre and post Bosman

[dembethewarrior]

I’ve been on a bike, car, aeroplane, but never on a free, what is that please?

Here cone the pedants.

[BLUETIT]

Here cone the pedants.

Ice cream in mine please

[light up the darkness]

Ice cream in mine please

Can you get a £20 baggie in the end of said cone?

[dembethewarrior]

Ice cream in mine please

Too easy

I thought that Smithies was excellent when we made the play-offs under Harris, but he hasn't really impressed since then.

Dillon Phillips only has a year left on his contract as well.
