I haven't seen Clay play so I'll reserve my judgement on him for now. But I honestly don't know what some people were expecting? I know we expect the best players and we want the best players to sign, but isn't the budget a little bit less than last year? So basically he's a replacement for Thanoj. I think we all know it'll be Disley and Brown as 1st choice with Paddy as back up. I'm sure, as may have being the case with Hinchcliffe we can't offer the guarantee of 1st team football to other targets in that position. He's a squad player, not saying I agree with it, but you'd all be moaning alot more if we started the season 3 CM instead of 4. Look at it as a positive, we've got more wages to spend on a goal scorer.

Glad we have signed Pittman, at times when I have seen him he has shown bursts of pace and skill which would scare a lot of defenders in this league. As for Clay, I'n not sure but I will reserve proper judgement after a few more times I have seen him play. Need to back him though, just like any other player. UTM

I agree but knocking the confidence out of them before the season starts,

Is helping no one.


I don't think many people are slagging him off and as always i'll support him as any other player when they're out there on the pitch. I think the criticism is aimed at Hurst and his transfer policy.

Absolutely, I hope the lad doesn't brilliantly for us and I'll be cheering him on.


Up The Mariners!

Are we to assume Ironside will not be signed?

Maybe Hurst thinks he can mould Clay into a decent player?

Hope he does not 'throw' him in at the deep end.

He could be hoping to 'fire' him up.

Hope there are no 'slip' ups.



I'll get my coat. LOL

video there if anyone wants to see it, dont know what clay is smiling about at the start but what strikes me is he a tall lad, maybe thats why we've got him, his height could be a bonus too us, both say that the lads have made them feel welcome, but from me as well welcome to GTFC! only thing shocking about this episode is the flipping useless interview! the wind means you can barely hear the lads

Also, with us signing Clay, how many ex York midfielders have we had in the past 2 years?! Kerr, Rodman, Brown, McLaughlin, Clay!
