Tom Heaton has rejected a new contract and I dont blame him, good luck Heaton. :ayatollah:

Gutted - should have been given far more games than he has had this season.

Yes top bloke... Wont have a shortage of offers either... Hopefully we get investment otherwise bywater will be back...

Damn, Heaton is an absolute quality keeper, too good to be kept on the bench so I don't blame him for leaving. I wish him luck whatever team he goes to, and if the rumours of him going to Bristol are true, I hope he will be warmly welcomed when we play them next season :ayatollah:

He did the club proud this season.

Best of luck for the future Tom.

All the best to heaton, he was outstanding in our carling cup run and is too good to be on the bench most games. :ayatollah:

I hope he don't go to Wurzels, he will either end up at decent championship team or on the bench for a prem team getting a large wedge..

I wonder how many thought the title was referring to VT :lol:

on topic, he's a better keeper than Marshall, but I hope his career gets back on track

Can't for the life of me see how people think Marshall is a better keeper. Heaton commands his box far better, organises the defence and has far superior distribution. Good luck Tom, not only are you a quailty keepr, your a top bloke too; my youngest will never forget the day you let him take penalties at the Vale against you just before the CC Final. Thank you.

Practising for a career in tabloid journalism ?

Feeling of dread opening this... :evil:

Great back up, will get better, hope he does well..

Re: It looks like he is def off

Don't blame him at all. The only way Heaton would stay is if he was given the number 1 shirt. I've always preferred Heaton to Marshall but it's hard to keep two good goalkeepers happy.

The last 3 years on here has learnt me a lot.

England should take him to the Euros and bring him on just before the inevitable penalty shoot out.

Re: It looks like he is def off

I was jumping around the fecking living room (Trying to anayway, lumbago :old: ) even poured myself a drambuie at the thought that VT had pulled out.

Then I realised you meant Heaton....and did exactly the same thing.

Jon, I preferred Heaton, It was good having 2 good goalies.

We seem to have a bad habit of letting decent players go for f**k all...

We were lucky compared to most teams to have two good keepers, not even some Premiership sides have a good back up keeper.

Only now you have noticed like my 1st post in this thread we have let players go worth millions for nothing, then they say it was there wages and the next we sign players like kenny miller on double the wages of what just left and worse of a player ect :(

Heaton said goodbye to everyone a few days ago.

Best of luck to Tom, he served us well and he helped us big time in the cup run this year. Sad to see him go and not having two good goalkeepers any more.

When is the retained list being released ?? :lol: :ayatollah:

Re: It looks like he is def off

Quite disappointed at this, to say the least.

I've always been of the opinion that he is better than Marshall. Commands his area better whilst also being calmer and more composed. And just as good a shot-stopper as DM as well. And he makes penalty saves from players ranging from the quality of Jermain Easter to Steven Gerrard :lol:

Thanks for all your efforts Tom :ayatollah:
