Declan Weeks

Absolute scenessssss! Thought he was a gonner for sure, great to see how many of these players are mentioning already that Cal’s enthusiasm got them on board.

Is it august yet???

You ever seen a bigger vote of confidence in the project than all these deals?

My heads gone here. We’re basically up.

See you in Red Door.

Grinning like a Cheshire cat having heard this news. Honestly thought Declan was a goner given he has received plenty of interest from other clubs, while with George Glendon also signing a two-year deal I thought that was a hint that Dec would go. It is a win-win for us as a club though, because we will get to witness his midfield magic for at least another season, and if a club were to buy him off us during the next two years then we would benefit from a nice fee. Dec was my player of the season for the campaign just gone, as he shone throughout in what was an extremely underwhelming season. He made his own ‘goal of the season’ compilation too as he scored some absolute stunners, so I am thrilled that he has penned terms for another two years. What a week this has been for us, and dare I say it I really feel that our club has finally got its house in order. From our new female director, to our new general manager, and to the appointment of Calum McIntyre plus new contracts, exciting times should lie ahead for us.

All the best Declan 🔵⚪️🔵⚪️!

Fucking scenes

That's such amazing news. I heard he'd been to Kiddie for a chat earlier this week and thought the worst. He's a local lad gonna be much better off here next season. What a 2 days!!

All I can say is BLOODY BRILLIANT!!! Absolutely delighted with this.

If we have got Glendon and Weeks then we MUST get a big ugly CDM signed up more than ever if we are to progress next season.

All we need from last seasons squad now is Burke, Williams, Stanway and Waters and then I’d like to see some new faces (hopefully all 6 foot plus and built like a brick you know what - we need to emulate that York team that recently turned up at the Deva and played us off the park).

Burke is already under contract

Absolutely delighted with Declan signing a new contract, was my player of the season and is a quality player. Am intrigued though as to how we have budgeted and can offer 2 year contracts to Glendon, Weeks and Callum when we are generally thought of as a fans own club without a "pot to piss in".
Not a negative post, and am made up with our recruitment so far, just hope we are not gambling or speculating to accumulate because as a fans owned club we can't afford to go down that road.

Surprised he stayed to be honest. Really glad he did though! Everything falling into place nicely so far, good work from all involved!

Can't argue with that. They made us wait but well worth it with these signings.

Now dont understand Glendon being retained and given 2 yr contract. These 2 in the same side fail to provide a strong enough midfield.

Can't play them both in every game I agree with you, certain pitches or opposition at home when our pitch is at it best maybe. Has to be someone with physicality holding in front of the back four though am sure our new manager knows this.

Not quite on board that Glendon and Weeks can’t play together, but you do have to get the balance right to accommodate them both.

They are two smaller lighter framed lads who noticeably don’t go to ground when making a challenge. You will struggle with them in a two so the key is to have the right person behind them. As likeable as Lacey was, I never thought he really had the legs to carry out that role to an efficient enough standard for what we need to challenge at the top end of this league. Glendon and Weeks are quick minded and scurrier types and I’m not sure Lacey was on the same wavelength.

We’ve definitely been a lot better with any of Burke, Roberts or Sargent holding. Be interesting to see if we can get Sargent permanently, I’d like to think there’s a chance of that but who knows.
