Lee Holmes on Loan (and now permanently)

Re: Lee Holmes on Loan

Good stuff, hopefully a two year deal.

Get the impression it's only a 1 year deal as Tisdale was quoted as saying he's looking forward to working with him over the next year.

Hope you are not correct on that. If he has a really good season it could then be much harder to keep him if other clubs are interested. Hopefully he will settle in the area which would work in our favour, I don't think he is a risky signing and will benefit from getting the core of our better players for a couple of seasons.

Anyway still good news and that would be something to think about next summer if he turns out to be out of contract.

Part one of "re-sign last season's stand-outs" complete, fantastic news.

C'mon Ribs, sign up!

I can go to work with a smile on my face now. If we can also keep hold of Ribs and bring in a brick outhouse CB, I'll put in my order for humble pie!!!!

Great news for a Thursday morning, well done City for securing his signature

Indeed! I was going to call on the mods and say this shouldn't be a new thread but tagged onto the 24 page existing one.

But it can't be. The title of that thread is 'Lee Holmes ON LOAN'

Why can't the fans ever be told how long the contract is for ?

It's frustrating IMO

I would guess a two-year deal.

I would guess a two-year deal.

That would be my hope as well, but as MoominGrecian said at the top of the page Tisdale's comments if meant literally are suggestive of one year.

If I am going to try and find reasons to support two years it would be Holmes mention of his family liking the area. If you are looking to move I would ideally like to know it was going to be for more than one year. I really do think whatever the length that Tisdale should have pushed for a two year one. If the contract is one year then it would either be down to us not offering longer or that the player would only sign for one, in which case it is better than nothing.
