warbie_118 Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 Another quality performance from him today, is such a massive part of our side. Seems accepted by many that he will be moving on this summer, any chance he will sign a new deal? would be a massive loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldlandReddies Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 He is a very good player. He is a handful for any team going forward and his defensive qualities are incredible. I love him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSSEL85 Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 Hope he stays, if he goes I wouldn’t be surprised to see a newly promoted prem team have a go at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayOutWest Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 Said it on multiple threads. Covid/Post Covid a two year deal might be best all round. He gets stability in an uncertain world. We get the most improved player who is more mobile and fitter than he has ever been. Knows where the back of the net is, beast defending corners and set pieces. Pay him a big raise and we no longer need to try and replace him.... Which I think will be tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCGav Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 Gotta try to keep him. Him and Wells leading the line next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmissionImpossible Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 Be interesting to see if he gets player of the season. Deserves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveybadger Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 That performance today shows that he can play In front of a pass and move midfield and be effective, and that we don’t (as we have on a number of occasions when not playing well) have to aim for him with a no hope long ball. Also interesting today that Wells said ‘in a strong possession based team strikers score goals’, or words to that effect. A slight barb at style / form Since he arrived...?

cidered abroad Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 He appears to be clumsy and according to my mate in the seat next to me, he couldn't trap a bag of cement. But given the support and not chasing lump it passes from centre halves, he is showing his true value. Hope he stays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is how we are looking to play going forward then we need to keep him. This is where appointing a manager now would give us fans a better understanding of whether Fam should be in his plans or not. We do have to generate £s from somewhere.

formerly known as ivan Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 If you’ve not seen it already then I recommend you find the clip from today’s game of Chris Kamara trying to pronounce Fammy’s name. Worse attempt ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor10 Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 I think he can play a big part if used correctly next season. He has his limitations but over a 46 game season will be very useful in a side that has promotion aspirations. Superb at defending corners as well. He has taken some unfair criticism at times. Amazing to think he was jeered off earlier in the season by a fickle few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YGBjammy Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 I think he is the player I would be saddest to see go. All players are replaceable at this level, but he just gives it his all on the pitch and is great off it too. He's just so likeable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 He's not an easy man yo replace and I hope he stays. Gregor McGregorface has been suggesting all spring and summer he's on his way because he hasn't signed a new contract, but given the protracted negotiations surrounding CODs new contract (boo here if you like) there may be a chance he will stay yet.

Obviously I am waiting to be sure about Holden but I like what I see so far. Fair enough mate. It is great to be winning games again and I think we have all missed that feeling! I just personally think it’s too soon to judge. Even the most pessimistic of City fans can’t deny we are a very appealing prospect now. Regardless of how things look now or finish I think we need to be looking for more proven than Holden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep of course we do. Knee jerk reaction to beating bottom sides ( accept only play what’s in front of you) but a few wins on the bounce gives everyone a lift. A new man may want Fam or cash him in to fund other options. Who knows which way it will go. Is it important new man gets butt in dugout To see for himself, or would you expect any new manager to know squad before arrival and already have that opinion.

I’d certainly look to keep him to partner Wells & spend any money generated by selling NE on strengthening the midfield. If Fam does leave, with Benik not coming back we only have Wells left with Weimann realistically a squad player as a striker (& one who scores far fewer goals) & let’s not pretend that Semenyo is an option. Makes no sense to me to shake it up completely again, unless of course the new head man doesn’t intend to use him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floatn Over Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 Ignoring the views of the family normally sitting behind me in the Dolman (they really make my blood boil at times , it’s knock Fam continually apart from when he scores of course then I give them a smirky grin)........ keeping Fam is essential IMO. Yes he has limitations but is improving, is a handful for any defender, puts in a shift, always smiling, clearly wants to be here and can be a class act. Replacing Fam will not be easy or cheap and we’ll be gutted seeing him flourish somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 Famara always bothered me because we always used him as a lone striker, his first touch is not the greatest which hindered him massively in that set up. Putting him in a front two, it's a game changer, that freedom allows him to play to his strengths and I have a feeling had LJ played a front two with him more often he'd have shone as one of the best talents in the Championship. I'll be gutted if we lose him this summer when we finally have the prefect compliment to him in Wells, the two of them together could really be deadly with the right creative types behind them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes no sense to me to shake it up completely again, unless of course the new head man doesn’t intend to use him. Yesterday’s Famara is one I’d want to keep. Financially I reckon we could just about cope without having to sell anyone, but the new manager would need to trade for any new players he wanted to bring in. As you say, Eliasson has value. If we aren’t gonna play wingers then that would be more obvious. 45 minutes ago, Spike said: Famara always bothered me because we always used him as a lone striker, his first touch is not the greatest which hindered him massively in that set up.

The last two had a much bigger feeling that the players looked comfortable and unsurprisingly most played much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
