Cowshed Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 2 hours ago, Badger08 said: It's funny, but even though he wasn't the best defender in the world, I'm gutted about his departure. You almost gloss over his faults as he is such a great person. Great guy, loves the fans, we love him, but probably not quite suited to championship football and was probably our weak link in defence a lot of the time. Is that fair to say? Hörður Magnússon passing ability is on a level of players in teams promoted. The actual mistakes leading to goals he makes is in line with players in Wolves side and Fulham's. It depends on what you want in a player and what your perception is. When Magnússon played at CB for City he affected the way the team played. The team played shorter, Fielding played to feet through thirds … Sheffield Wednesday at home is an example of how City played entirely differently with Magnússon at CB. It is about perceptions and what you want in approach. A way of viewing defenders is that they are footballers and stray passes, wacking, it, putting feet through it is error and weak attempting to play out will lead to less error, but the error this approach inevitably leads to is part of the risk and its reward. Magnússon would have been good enough for a Fulham, not the required skill set in a Cardiff and Bristol City were a in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Would have considered keeping him, but maybe it's for the best- his versatility was useful IMO. However if selling him enables us to keep Flint, Bryan, Pack and Reid- helping with FFP as it would- then it's a sale worth making IMO- doubt we got the best of him though, but maybe a more counter-attacking style, deeper defence a'la Iceland brings the best out of him. Best of luck to him in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still at this point seems to be the best thing for all parties involved! All the best Mags. People are talking like he is a promising youngster, at 25 he is close to being in his prime and he should have really taken a lot of those silly mistakes out of his game by now.

ontariored Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Well. He did play well against Messi and Argentina. Perhaps we don't know how to play him or how to develop him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Robin Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 In our team he was considered a 2nd choice, so probably this move is good for both parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fjmcity Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 If joe Bryan, Aden flint or Nathan baker were Icelandic, they would be ahead of him. Simple. iceland are a team far greater than the sum of their parts, but as observed in the game against Argentina, his boundless energy enthusiasm and overall niceguyism isn’t enough for us. The Russian league is also pretty poor, probably not far off a championship equivalent overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet Bryan is expected to cost triple what Magnússon did, so the professionals clearly don’t agree with your view.

Cidre Monita Posted June 24, 2018 Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 If we are playing out from the back, and a pressing Man City style, you need to sign Mags not sell him. We are probably going to our Cardiff style long ball game next season, as per second half of the season. Maybe ... Or has LJ been playing on Championship manager and come up with a new idea.

As I said before, he is a professional, he signed that contract as a small financial boost for himself and to ensure the club could get a good price for him when he wanted to go. Him signing for Middlesbrough shows that he's chosen to leave, it would be different if it were a Premier League team, but to leave one Championship club for another just leads me to believe the club had no real say in it as why would they sell to a rival club.

Agree with you 100%. JB doesn’t have the positional sense to play LB. Gets caught out numerous times per game but his pace often bails him out!
