watkins1983 Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 Another baffling decision from the powers that be for me. The fact he has been snapped up by division rivals shows Korey still has a lot to offer. His experience and leadership alone should of been enough for another year, especially with a new coaching setup, We will miss him next year. Massive loss with him and brownhill going, but plenty of new opportunities lay ahead for morrell and Walsh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on - Nagy, Massengo, Morrell, Walsh - none of them are seasoned campaigners in the chaotic championship - it was somewhat reassuring to see Korey patrolling in there ... I didn’t want him to go ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooh Dave, that's a tricky one. I want Walsh, Morrell and Nagy away from home but I might allow one of Paterson, Szmodics or Palmer for home games. But I want a big unit in there of course and plenty of minutes for Massengo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing a game of patience at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin-hugh-blind Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 Well done KS. A decent move. Hope your fam now settled. Football is football but he's more than a football man. Just don't score against us :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloke is at the end of his career and got a very decent move which could set him up so best of luck to him - he needed the move and we need to make room for those coming through. End of his career? He’s 29 ffs probably still got another 3/4 years at champ level!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floatn Over Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 We’ll see KS have some good games for Swansea for sure perhaps even against us and good luck to him, inevitably such performances will prompt more “should have kept him” posts on here but we simply have to get the young guns, Szmodics, HNM, Morrell, Walsh along with KP and Nagy contributing in our engine room and this cannot be achieved getting sentimental over older players.

To make room to play the academy players for sure, Nagy too has had one season in a new country so I wouldn’t be writing him off yet, but also financially we have to do some trimming to the squad. None of us know what the finances will look like at the end of this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the player isn’t hugely athletic and their game is their intelligence on the ball and skill - ie Bannan - it doesn’t really matter. Look at Hernandez at Leeds and David Silva at Man City.

maxjak Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 Well done and good luck to Korey...makes a change to go to Swansea rather than Bardiff. Hope he has a brilliant season, apart from the two games against us. If in the team, he should get a superb reception when they come to Ashton Gate? If there's a crowd of course?

Prinny Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 We would have played him in the single "6" role under Holden, he lacks mobility for that role and like Massengo did, and Morrell would have, that's a doomed position if you can't really get about the pitch. He's not an "8" either. He is a good player, but he didn't fit what we wanted to do. I watched him for Swansea at the weekend and he's comfortable in a position alongside someone else and not having to sprint about the pitch either forwards or into fullback areas. If someone has a big injury history you can't base a system around them. Oh **** we did that with Mawson, nvm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Red Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Korey’s time was up here IMO. As others have said he didn’t suit the way we are trying to play. Williams was the ready made replacement - younger and by all accounts a better footballer we have just been painfully unlucky with his injury.

ciderwithtommy Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 For me it’s more the reason we let him go, which was Ashtons decision? Footballing reasons!
