Philb125 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I must be one of those know nothing fools, as I think this is a backwards move by us. I was rather hoping we’d move forward into a new look midfield with younger players who are more well rounded, likely to develop and offer some potential upside. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Brentford had managed to sign him in the summer, I don't doubt he'd have better goal contribution stats than he does here, due to all of the above. We over rely on him, whereas in a good team he'd be one threat among many, as he was for us in his first couple of seasons here. We could get rid of him, but I reckon it's a better idea to keep him and try to raise the standard of those around him again instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensible Soccer Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 He takes a fair bit of stick on here... but again has shown himself to be dedicated to the club. I like him as a player, plays with his heart on his sleeve. I believe we are better with him in the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyowl Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 He's the main man here! If he went to another club, he might not be! He might like being the big fish in a big pond! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is your answer to our Club treading water, with a player who and let's be honest is not best or even average midfield player currently in the Championship, then it says a lot about your knowledge. And who needs to like a player? I neither like or dislike shorty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malek Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 With Bannan signed and so many players out of contract we should really look to build around him, bringing in players that will help him create and retain ball better. At least I hope that will be aim we will work towards. No point having him here as probably our highest paid player just to knock long balls over his head for 90 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluewings Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 If the rest of our squad was up to Bannan's quality we would be sat in the play off position. Speaks volumes about his loyalty by signing when we are in a precarious position. I don't mind replacing the old guard with better signings but we haven't done that convincingly yet so I'm happy he resigned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Bannan and I think we would miss him. But I absolutely agree with this. We seem to always be looking backwards. We constantly live in the short-term.

The future looks bleak. How is this looking backwards? We kept one of our better players for a couple of seasons, if we go down he's now got a sale value. You been on about the Shaw contract situation since it happened, surely if we go down being able to command a fee for Bannan is better than him walking away for nothing. An old head to guide a team of younger players, phasing him out as we get someone better. There are a lot of sticks to beat the club with at the moment but I don't see this as one of them 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 (edited) I don’t think retaining the club captain and our best player is ‘looking to the past’, especially when we’re about to release half a dozen players from that past Edited February 19, 2021 by FreshOwl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
