He just doesn't have the wow factor of other players but he always does a job when he does play. Suppose I was complimenting him and saying he's done in the same post. Being brutally honest, I was a Jones fan but I wouldn't want to turn upto Hillsborough and pay to see him in the team. He isn't a top 6 potential midfielder, no sentiment when it comes to parting with £40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonk Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 If Abdi goes back to Switzerland as rumoured, we can find someone to take Jones, given we have already lost buttercup ( yeah I know) with question marks over hutch and lees fitness that would leave us very thin in middle field. Given the size of our squad that’s a scary thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, he's very possibly one of the highest earners at the club. Depending on finances, it might be important to be pragmatic. However, he does do a job, and there's no doubting his experience and professionalism would be important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t seem to be a lot happening at all. Permanent transfer window closes at the start of the season. You can still bring in loans up to the end of August.

Guest HillsboroughOwlNI Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 What about Jon Flanagan? Free to a good home, only 24 and has experience in this league. Would surely be better competition for Jack Hunt than Liam Palmer currently. At least for Palmer we also might get a (negligible) fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrific for Liverpool a few years ago and looked destined for the very top then injuries then beating his partner. in all honesty it is a tempting gamble for a club...just not us!

joelswfc Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Honeyman would be a great signing. Hopefully we’ll sign a couple of that ilk. 1 hour ago, bigash_swfc said: West Brom have started to put bids in for players. They have bid 7m for Bobby Reid at Bristol. 1 good season and 1 year left on his contract. £7 million plus add ons maybe about right, although I’m sure I wouldn’t be saying that if I was a Bristol City fan!

Have you heard anything about Honeyman? Whether our supposed interest is true or not and whether we're still after him or not or something?

Bluesteel Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 If Clare doesn’t want to stay here and isn’t fussed about the championship then Sunderland would be a decent shout with Coton going there. Further away from home though I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to have gone quiet though, and with Sunderland’s takeover perhaps it’s less likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
