In the case of Dack, having seen him play a couple of times for Gillingham it couldn’t have been more obvious he had the potential to do well at a higher level. Frustratingly a player we could have so easily attracted to the club at the time too. Instead we wasted money on has beens. Really hope under Bruce we now have someone who knows the market better.

Overated jumped up 'do you know who my dad is' wanna be tosspot. When you lose 2 seasons of your career is going to be tough and at the age he is. The move to Belgium out of the limelight is the best thing for him. Let see where he end up this season, I think he will be loaned to a championship team or league one and he will get better.

Ever the pessimist Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Happy for Thorniley to be involved this year as back up and play in the league cup. Will be interested to see what becomes of Penney - clearly has something about him, I suspect it’s up to him how his career turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Penney will be fine, and if the rumours of Bidwell are true, Penney will be our first choice left back, sooner rather than later 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concentrates way to much on attacking and forgets about the defensive side of stuff and that you are playing at full back not wingback. You vacate your position all the time to attack the two centre backs are in trouble. Prefer to see Penney as a wingback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lees was the weak link in defence last year. ....together with the full backs and the goalie pre Bruce. Errr! doesn't leave much does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest timrud Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 The club don't get enough credit for how well they handled being held to ransom by GH. Moving the power away from greedy players can only be a good thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he stayed, he would have certainly earned us good bit of money (we already turned down 2m + offers for him). Club wanted him to stay, yet did such a laughable job trying to persuade him. At last...someone ITK. Do spill the beans malek, what was he offered and at what terms. Also what were him and his agent asking for. There must be hundreds of people on this site who've been bursting to know, so don't let us down. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard from a mate who’s mate (yes I know) bumped into one of the first team squad on holiday, told him Odubajo and the German player have signed. Also said Lee and Westwood had signed new deals. Of course to be taken with a pinch of salt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get me wrong, I’d rather keep him, as I would all of our best players, but if we have to wheel and deal, he’s one who would have takers. If it were one or the other, I’d choose Hector over Reach. Don’t know how much we could achieve for Reach, but a fee of about 3m seems to be what Chelsea would expect for Hector I would rather keep Reach and not get Hector (and i rate Hector,) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either Reach or Bannan will be sold this summer IMO and I'd be amazed if Bruce sold Bannan as I believe he sees him as our most important player this coming season.

But regardless of who we might have to sacrifice, in order to bring in whoever Bruce wants, I'd trust Bruce to build the team he wants, all for the better. It's going to be an intriguing window and season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
