Would happily sell him to any mugs out there Crap penalty sure no one would argue. Under par performance today yes as with most. Waste of a wage? Not for me and definitely not be ‘happy’ to sell him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claims of laziness,poor attitude etc we all know how that ended up.... We relied solely on Antonio to do it all for us, and we burned his confidence away with that and the moaning from the stands when he single handedly couldnt change games for us. Joao on the other hand literaly goes from the sublime to the rediculous in the space of one game. Hes got bags of ability, yet cant seem to string a run of 2 good games together. His off days dont just bring his game game down either, they bring the team down. Its okay being an off form striker if you work hard elswhere on the pitch. Its not okay to be off form and just lazy, so everyone else has to pick up yhe slack. Sadly that happens all too often for this lad and we need better if we want to progress.

Winnall and Atdhe Nuhiu being the other two. Atdhe to stay if Rhodes leaves. none of those you mention imo are good enough,would have given Winnall more game time ,proven scorer.but pretty obvious SB doesn't think that,bring some decent loanees like Derby have,certainly worked for them this season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Tom Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Brilliant footballer once every five weeks, does my head in. Would love him to come good here, but ffs it's been like this four years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Snooty Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Just one of life's laid back characters. No amount of coaching can make someone have more desire. Next bid that comes in Bruce will let him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earlsfieldowl Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Not the first and won’t be the last striker to have the talent but not the ethic and aptitude to give 100% in every match. ..goes for me - players like this won’t get us up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. We sold him and made some money. None of our ex-'stars' are actually setting their various league alight. A player who can't even hit the target from 12 yards shouldn't even be considered for the next month at least. And I mean TARGET. Any GK will tell you that the only way to save a penalty is to have some luck, but come on, the size of the goals, the distance away? A professional footballer should be able to tell the GK where he's putting it , and still beat him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF he goes elsewhere and becomes a 'right player', then so be it, he's 'freeloading' at s6 at present and isn't worth a shirt over a season. we don't need someone who ties once a month at best, we need someone who tries every time he pulls the shirt on.

I'm intrigued by Rhodes in the same way I am doing a granny prostitute. You know they'll be past it, saggy, loose limbed and dry as a bone but there may just be a one off performance left harking back to the glory years. However I defo wouldn't pay 8 mill for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They go back to their parent club? Not saying we shouldn’t use the loan market, but we’ve got two top Championship performers in Reach and Bannan who are our players. Would hate to see either of them go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH Ms Cinnamon, whilst reach is a decent player the (stack of) money we'd hopefully get for him would go a long way in our 'rebuild'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
