When he turned round and passed it to that QPR player for no reason at all Yeah there were a few of them passes. Another one where he passed it behind lees. Needs a full pre season and friendlies to get his eye in. Was well off his best today but even still he seemed to be involved in the action . He has a knack for being near the action and influencing the game in little ways all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpowl Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Even with lee Bruce will bring in another Cm you need to for a full season my guess is he will still go for someone athletic who can challenge bit of experience like a Diame or whelan hi might even bring another in on top like a young attacking midfielder particularly if we’re playing 3 in the centre we will need 5-6 centre mids central midfielders bannan lee hutchinson pelupessy ( loan or sale ) Diame / Whelan / enforcer type young premier league loan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhopping Owl Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 It's a brave decision and I must say I've got my doubts about the wisdom behind this. But if any player has earned some faith from the club it’s Kieran Lee. He’s been a superb servant and I really hope this works out well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Great news - top professional who no doubt will give his all to make it work this summer. Very pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westfield Owl Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Hate to say it but that suggests to me that the club might not be in a great situation regarding FFP, if we’re having to offer the old guard new contracts, rather than the much anticipated clear-out. KL has been an amazing player for us in the past. And we have missed Lee in our midfield since he’s been out. But the player’s recent injury record speaks for itself and he’s on the wrong side of 30 now. I dunno, seems a risky move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast Owl 2 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Lets see how much he has been offered before we fully judge the deal. I think the days of us firing out silly wages are over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkfieldowl14 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Keep Lee.He's a damn sight better player than the likes of Pelupessy,Matias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markg Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Thought he was okay today to be honest. Certainly not one of our worst players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally i would release him as i think he slows us down too much, plus we might be stuck with Rhodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greengrass Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Yes there was the odd mistake.....but he's hardly kicked a ball in ages yet alone played a competitive match. Still showed his quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Not sure personally. Great great player when fit but I would be very surprised if we got more than 10 games out of him next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncing Owl Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I’ve said all along we will offer contracts to Westwood, Palmer and Lee. Abdi, Pudil, Jones, Boyd, Matias and Hooper will be released. Hooper would’ve been kept but given we have 7 strikers and he’s on circa £32k PW, then that’s the reason he goes. Happy to be proved wrong on this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks interesting to hear he expects 5-6 plays in minimum whilst I’m not surprised I wonder what those positions will be don’t know why I’m saying this now I just started a thread on the matter thanks again though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
