Just to clarify as its you im answering... Thats not the same as saying he is better than iorfa.. He also seemed far cooler than both iorfa and Lees often do in certain instances. I don't think he showed that he was capable of bringing/carrying the ball out confidently but the side that he played in wasnt exactly going to do much of this and maybe id be a bit more confident of say lees when it comes to an aerial assault (corners. Etc) however from what i saw of him he would have been on the verge of being first choice within a year if played alongside a steadying/calming influence for a few games. So,he's no better or worse than Iorfa,but you could see him being on the verge of the first team within a year,but he's already better than many...........come on fella. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Think that’s a poor decision letting him leave permanently, good luck to the lad , really wanted to see more of him at S6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on what??? You even changed that statement. Atleast read what ive written if you are going to challenge it. The English language comprises many words which all make a difference. Accusing me of not making distinctions is fine but if its you how hasn't read those distinctions (which are clearly there in black & white) then i would point you back to my original post and ask you to read it again rather than changing my words.

Mr. Tom Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Always felt confident he’d put a performance in on the few occasions we called upon him in a crisis. One of the brightest lights in the Dark Age under Jos. A tough cookie and a smiler, other players always seemed to like him. Very best of luck to him, hope he goes on to have a very solid career.

Animis Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I think he's an average player - not top end championship. Held his own, but in a poor team lacking confidence last season. At 23, he needed break through to the first team to move on. Good luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birley Owl 1867 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Theres plenty more we need to sell before him. I agree we need to move players on but disagreed massively with selling young players with good potential. Wouldn't complain if we sold Baker for example.

Hack-Abusi Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Although I'm slightly disappointed by him leaving and certainly thought a loan deal would suffice, I get why he's leaving. 5th/6th choice centre back by looks of it and at his age the lad needs games Doubt we'll get a big fee for him so Blackpool potentially have made a very astute purchase here ...

I don't mind you having an opposing opinion but if you are going to challenge mine, atleast qualify it (even if its vague such as 'i disagree') without changing my initial statement. Anyway now you have made me be a pendantic bumhole, . Happy new year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three sticks of Blackpool rock and a bucket of sand? I reckon they gave us about 100 bags of sand in exchange for an upgrade on their drove of donkeys.

Guest ka58 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 He’s gone permanent to Blackpool who are 10th in league one - that says quite a lot for anyone who’s decided he should have been playing for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beswetherick Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Top signing for Blackpool. Needs to be playing regularly at his age and we can’t offer him that. Don’t have a bad word to say about his performances for us, nowt special but never put a foot wrong... just not good enough to dislodge Iorfa, Börner or Lees. Wish him all the very best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HirstWhoScoredIt Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 It doesn’t matter how many centre backs we have, or will end up, Thorniley hasn’t looked like a top Championship centre half. Hopefully he’ll get the game time he needs in League One and develop into a player that might come back to the Championship in a few years. People forget he’s 23, not a young pup. At the same age Tom Lees has started over 100 Championship matches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperwinngardensowl Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Just don’t get it. Obviously Chansiri didn’t see him as part of his “family”. good luck in the future Jordan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HillsboroughOwlNI Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Swap deal for Jordan Thompson would have been good. Lad has a lot of potential from what I’ve seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan93 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Odd decision. 23 and has real potential. I can see him being a better CB than Lees. Blackpool have gained a solid player. I never saw him have a bad game for us! All the best JT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I liked Thorniley when he played for us and always thought he put a shift in. He's nowhere near the standard of Lees, Börner or Iorfa (barring his last two horror-shows), though. At 23, he probably needs to take a step down in order to get some games under his belt and hopefully progress his career. In time, I'm sure he'll return to Championship-level football. Best of luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewookieisdown Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I hope to God Chansiri doesn't read stuff on this site but if he is dumb enough to be looking at this thread I would beg him to ignore the absolutely insane objections to the sale of a squad player.
