Don't be fooled in to thinking when a player has his contract cancelled by the good old mutual consent chestnut, it's always at the request of the player, as I am sure must know, can be a case of the club saying, you're no longer in the plans, time's up, going to be effectively frozen out. You can see out your contract, but the best way forward is to leave now and find your self another club, of course that may not be the case with Connor Thompson, but it does often happen that way.
height of goalkeepers , don't get me started on that, could bang on for hours on this subject. This obsession about 6ft 2in, keepers is just barmy.
Andy Goram, made 620 senior appearance's including Rangers and 2 games on loan at Man.U, also picked up 43 Scotland caps, at 5ft 11 in, simply would not even open doors in todays football, and certainly wouldn't make it as a pro keeper, Shilton at 6ft dead would need a slice of luck, and Gordon Banks at 6ft 1 in , well who knows, we have a 15 year old keeper on the books right here taller than those three.
Agreed, it does take so much more than talent to make in todays game, mental strength, good controlled aggression, and being in the right place at the right time, does help.
