james o connor Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I’m guessing it’s a short term offer to prove he is still of use . If he is fine if he’s not , unlike the previous idiotic regime , we aren’t stuck with dead wood . Of course he will sign , he won’t exactly be inundated with offers . It’s a no risk situation for both parties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) I’m a massive fan of Lee, if he could have stayed fit he would be a Premiership player by now imo. His injury record is a massive concern now, I just can’t see him ever playing more than 4-5 games in a row for us. Would love him to get back to his best though because on his day he is one of the best in the league. Also I’m slightly surprised we haven’t announced signed contract extensions by now. Surely the players would have decided? Edited June 16, 2019 by WalthamOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatter Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 The fact that Bruce has offered a contract of some sort speaks volumes. He played 60 minutes at the end of the season and looked physically ok but not match fit. Surely will sign and want to see if he can have a successful end to his career. Would cost millions to sign a player to replace a fully fit Lee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Lee’s a good championship player, but are people bigging him up a bit too much? He’s never been a game changer, and is another part of the failed play off squad Be good to have him back, but some are acting like he’s the second coming of Jesus, and the ‘best piece of busiiness’ we can do all summer. I disagree with that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a good keeper but I always remember how good Danny Ward was for Huddersfield, in their promotion season. Looked a cut above Westwood in our semi final - He was a loanee! - as was Henderson for United. Doesn't make us more defensively sound, if he signs and we miss out on Hector. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westwood is a great keeper at Champ level. Him signing v him not signing would make us more defensively sound. As long as the financials stack up, the Westwood signing is a complete no brainer for me. Edited June 16, 2019 by We are all Wednesday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 To be honest I think we have to move away from the obsession with the play off boys. All failed to get us promoted. Individually very talented players but just couldn’t get us over the line as a team. Big fan of Lee and no harm in offering a new deal, but we shouldn’t pin our hopes on him. What we do in the transfer market is far more important this year. We need a new look squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’s okay , he’s a decent back up . But we need to move on from looking backwards. Hutchinson needs upgrading , I’m sick of watching him hobble off . Hooper rightly went . Westwood and lees still have something to offer but the rest have seen better days 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at it this way Hector played in front of Dawson and Westwood, one faced the most shots in the league and we were struggling big time, the other came in and our form went through the roof as did our clean sheet stats. Answers itself for me. As for Ward looking a cut above, I know who I would sooner have as my number one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took a couple of looks at hooper and realised he was finished . Realised Matias wasn’t consistent enough and that Boyd had had his day.

The 14m Leicester City backup? Over the course of time, he's been brilliant but he's not the be all and end all.

1867Heaven Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 It looks like Bruce is bringing in more midfielders, If we had Lee and Hutchinson sat on bench we could hopefully keep em fit and it would be a decent option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eckington owl Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Just because he’s been here a few years and was part of the playoff final loss doesn’t mean he can’t help us push forward. He’s one of the best midfielders in the league, in my opinion. If we can get him back to his old self, and on a contract that will be favourable to us, no doubt, it will be one of the better deals this summer.
