I like NML as when he's played in the right position with a remit to attack he's tricky at this level and can score and create. But we are a L1 club and we have to cut our cloth accordingly even if we are still one of the highest payers in the league. So it's all about comparative return on any investment you make in a player. I think we saw it in patches with him, I think we would have seen more value if he had been played in the right position but if we believe we can find a replacement with a better value/return then we have to go for it.

 

Likewise, I don't blame him if he can find a club who will pay higher wages - such is the way of the world and loyalty is secondary in most players as they have to earn what they can, while they can.

If he never played again I'd bet he'd never have to work again.

It does, he hasn’t fitted in simply because he’s not good enough as a winger/striker or full back, bit part player and pretty much just an upgrade on Kadeem Harris

 

Moore has tried to shoe horn him in, he’s an impact player, in league one that’s a luxury, as we’ve seen.

 

Good to see someone else liken him to Kadeem Harris. Remember he also got off to a good start until we realised his end product was, generally, awful. I think NML is almost as bad. He looks quick and skilful and exciting but that's no use if he knocks his cross to the far corner flag. No loss if he goes.

 

BTW I actually liked Harris. At least he always worked his socks off, unlike NML. But what good is a winger who can't cross or shoot?

I had a similar level of disillusionment when he didn’t track his man in the play off semi final, 7 minutes after coming on. 

Agreed about that. Really not fussed about NML, as I don't see how he'll be a good fit for WB anyway. He proved that in the playoffs.

Want some proper WB compeition to compete with Hunt and Marv. Ideally younger players.

Don't disagree with this. 

 

Mendez-Laing can do a job at wingback in games he is not expected to defend in. He can sort of do a job up front, but not really. 

 

I do think we need to be looking at  succession planning in wingback areas.  Palmer can also do a job, Brown disappeared completely which leaves no real competition for Hunt and Johnson in specialist positions crucial for the way we likely intend to play.

 

What happend to Galvin? The lad is 21, surely if good enough should be pushing for a first team place, if not why are we keeping him?

He isn't one of our players he hasn't signed his contract.

 

He believes he is better than the money we have offered him, let him go and find it eleswhere. 

 

He's still contracted, isn't he?

 

How do you know he thinks he's better than what we've offered him?

I'd say the Face with Tears of Joy emoji 😂 tips it towards poking fun at Pogba rather than a criticism of Wednesday. Still no clearer whether he'll sign though.

Would be easy for him to clear this up if he was merely having a cheeky, light-hearted dig at Pogba ‘only’ being offered £300k a week. Not sure if he has done so as OT is the only social media I do.

What do you mean about a select committee?

 

Also how many games did he play up front? 

I'm not Google, go find those two easy answers out for yourself lazy bones.
