Prince Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Hopefully this story has some truth in it and he will be gone for his own sake. Can't fault his application but he is lacking in loads of departments and his confidence must be shot as soon as he hears the "Welcome" from our fans. He's not up to the standard we are looking for and it forces us to go out an recruit for a decent player at left back in the next window. Good Luck to the lad if he makes it somewhere else.

I don't think his confidence is shot. To his credit he gets on with the job at all times. It's a pity this transfer may occur when he seems to have won some over this last few games, but if we get nowt in summer........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) The way he’s been treated by some fans is disgraceful really. I think there have been signs of a steady if unspectacular player who adds a bit of height in defence for certain games but he did seem nervous when we were pushing for top 2 when he first arrived. Other than that I don’t think he’s done much wrong, just isn’t quite as good an all round full back as what we need.

WorrallOwl17 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Don't understand how anyone can want to sell. The deal would be no more than half a million surely? so it's not exactly like a huge amount of money to help us out, also we can't sign a replacement for 3 months. And most importantly he's our second best left back and man of the match for me two games in a row. People saying Iorfa and Odubajo can cover left back when I haven't seen them master playing right back yet, one got dragged at Millwall and the other has not settled yet for us. 100% keep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought we were trying to deal more sensibly. You may well think he has been our best player the last 2 games that’s your call , what I have seen is a player who has slightly improved his performances which have been poor up to now .

SiJ Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Can't really blame him if he wants out. Guy has been treated shockingly by a vocal and incredibly stupid minority of our "fans". Yeah, he's not great, but no player should be getting booed by his own fans pre-match. Morons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And its who we replace him with, if palmer gets injured or suspended do we shoehorn iorfa or odubajo there? when neither of them have showed that they're comfortable playing on their stronger foot never mind their weak one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buxtongent Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 This shows how farcical the Transfer window, and the workings of the EFL are. How would it be if Fox we=as our star/Key player? We can legally sell him to Sunderland, but not, if they wanted him, to neighbouring Newcastle. Likewise, we can sell him ,but not replace him. Forget the actual player and replace him in the market with Bannan, say.. The silly part is that this could well be that a team such as Macclesfield Town could buy say, Harris, but we can't replace him. Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Easy one for me - keep. I think Palmer and Fox may become our full-back pairing. Odu worries me terribly, which leaves us with only three, in Fox, Iorfa and Palmer. £500k now v nothing in December v possible extension of contract if he does well. No brainer. Also helps that he is decent in the air for set pieces at both ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prob last opportunity to get some cash for him and we need to learn to sell in our current state. We have enough cover to last until we can get someone in new year. Agreed. Gets more flack than he deserves, but it's clear we need to upgrade his position. If Sunderland's bid reaches an acceptable figure, he goes.

Mr Farrell Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Would never boo him, but after Beswetherwick, one of the worst we've had. Not his fault, but just not a promotion capable Championship fullback. Bite their hands off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amitten Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Sell for me. Use Thorniley or Reach there to cover Palmer until the window opens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costello 77 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I've changed my mind on this..let him go..on reflection if we retain him he'd be under impossible pressure every minute of every game to be perfect.. It's not fair on the lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
