I wish we could move Thompson on and sign Jayden Campbell and Jayden Sullivan for 2023. Jock Madden if we can't get Sullivan. It would give us a better chance of being competitive for 2023 and not relying so much on "hopeful" big signings for 2024.
I don't think Thompson wants to be pushed out the door though. He's said repeatedly now including just a couple of days ago that he'll definitely be with the Dogs for 2023. Why say it if there's any chance he's not staying ?. He could just say nothing. He doesn't have to move anywhere unless he wants to and why would he want to when things are looking brighter at the Dogs next year.
Other problem is freight. We're gonna be paying a decent chunk of his wage even if he did go somewhere else.
