The thing that i don't understand regarding him leaving is why is it taking so long. I don't take powell as the type of player to make this a difficult process regarding the financial side of it. If hes fit and leaving then hed want it done sooner rather than later so he could have found a new club and gotten abit of pre season under his belt.

If hes fit and leaving then hed want it done sooner rather than later so he could have found a new club and gotten abit of pre season under his belt. Because we gave him a stupid three year contract - no other club in the football league would have done that at the time. He likely took the three year deal on decent money knowing it will be the last contract he gets in football before retiring. Unfortunately Powell in this scenario has the upper hand on us and he knows it. If we are desperate to get him off the books he will want a significant pay-off (probably more in that payoff than we paid for any of the new players) or for us to partially meet some of his wages for him to move. I get the impression as well that he isn't like a Paddy Madden who loves playing football but that is just an assumption. If he doesn't care too much about football then it's even less likely he will compromise on a good contract.

Totally agree with the last bit, although it's also just my opinion, but he looks like a good footballer who just isn't that interested or a fan of the game bit like Ben White allegedly.

This, I've heard we are indeed trying to move him on but as above easier said than done, hated signing from day one the worst profile to give out best contract in clubs history to for 3yrs, ability not in question but you need more than that to succeed If giving out 3 yrs on huge money he has to be a surefire bet as can be his profile is anything but that Big money for 1yr with incentives to secure another year should been way we went but vanity signing taking up large portion of budget really was what it was

Not offering two years Madden was right tbh but if talking in hindsight Paddy has a bad injury anyway and would be no good to us at the moment On others Gayle showed some good touches with little service thought he showed up more than Norwood who got caught on ball too much and not sure he suits us, didn't impress me last night at all though obv has very good pedigree but we need legs in there not a 33yr old IMO Tanto back in training, Wootton and Barry fit is enough start season and assess as go on see if option comes up before end of August maybe pull a favour in from City and get someone on loan Not sure we can just rip deal up with Mellon if he has done ACL it would require Burnley to be on board in recalling him let's hope have decency to so can replace but it's tough on the lad and big blow for us as bits I've seen he looked very capable If there is a recall clause we can activate it after 28 days in a transfer window. without checking, id highly doubt we be able to activate it or terminate it, that will be for parent club to exercise during a transfer window so we be relying on goodwill from Burnley to recall him and give us scope to replace

There are probably a fair few footballers who see it as 'just a well paid job, and milk it while i can' - I'm not saying Powell or White have this view, but wouldn't be suprised if many do... especially later on in their career. On the other side of the coin, there are many that just love the game and want to play forever, at any level, regardless of the wage.

Has it been confirmed by a specialist yet? Devastating news for him and us!

If hes fit and leaving then hed want it done sooner rather than later so he could have found a new club and gotten abit of pre season under his belt. Pretty simple really. He’s on massive money and he’s not just gonna forfeit two more years of top money (nor should he, we were the ones stupid enough to offer him the 3 year deal) If no one else is willing to pay the same wages then it’s going to cost us a lot of money to get rid not even halfway through his contract length. Unless we pay off his contract we’re stuck with him I think. Which is precisely why whatever is the issue should be sorted, we need him back in the team as there’s no other option that doesn’t cost us a silly amount of money.

If as was suggested he was a Stott influenced signing then maybe it’s a lesson for MS to not get involved on the playing side. As much as most (all) of us wanted to see LB back at County and everyone recognises the huge impact BH has had on the club those are really decisions that he should not be getting involved with.

I've just gone on Instagram for the first time today.
Powell posted around dinner time a picture saying new boot day and a picture of his daughter in a full county kit.

Maybe he isn't interested in leaving and wants to be part of the squad? If he's being difficult about moving on, it doesn't have to be financially-motivated.

Has it been confirmed by a specialist yet? Devastating news for him and us! Not sure, I'd heard from someone else 6-8 weeks which would lead to medial ligament injury but word from Burnley end is ACL so no idea all in all, we will find out soon enough at fans forum I'd imagine

MCL would be best case scenario at this point, so hugely welcome!

He’s on a good wage and he’s had a season where he’s been heavily involved. He seems settled and motivated imo. Why would he want to leave? He’s not just going to go because he’s suddenly not wanted by the management, nor should he, he’s got a 3 year deal.

For exactly the same reason that Wrexham struggle to get rid of their surplus players, we've given him a contract that was too high for the level he's playing at now.
