Joel agreed a two year contract with the option of an extra year which is pretty much how we do things, this can be triggered at the discrection of and solely by HUFC, Joel get's no say in the matter as he already signed the contract and agreed to the extra year option, if we want him for an extra year, he stays, the situation as far as I can see is that Joel is now contracted to HUFC for another 12 months and if the move to Wellington is to go ahead a fee will need to be paid.
It seems we either buy Joel out of his contract with Hartlepool or wait a year.
Tony P said last night (Radio Sports football hour) he was looking for 2 strikers. If we can sign one very good striker for this season and pick up Joel next season I think we will be in very good shape.
Smletz + new striker + Costa + Covs will be a good line up this year.
Porter coming in for Covs next year - no disrespect to Covs but I think this year will be his last.
That's a big "IF", Whitby Boy!
Tony P said last night that everyone is looking for strikers.
Realistically, what chance do we have of picking up a "really good" one with all the competition out there lookin for the same thing, and probably with bigger pockets if we're talking clubs beyond the A-League?
And, if I understand Tony P from last night's I/V, the Nix are no longer looking for a right back to fill the squad, so where does that leave Mully?
