Sturny Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 Made nearly 100 apperances for us across competitions, most were subs of course. Doesn't feel like it at all though! Was always an exciting player on the ball, you knew the cross was dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon bristol Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 What a shame, and what a left foot. I hope the sell on clause is decent, cause he is very talented. Good luck niclas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judda Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 1 hour ago, Hare Island said: Exactly. Big numbers mostly achieved for top scorers, player of the season, club captain types. Not someone who can barely get in the match day squad half the time. Also age/potential and length of contract... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Army 79 Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 This will more than cover the fee we paid for Joe Williams, with the money from the sale of Sammie Szmodics we have probably just about broken even or might have a slight loss with the loan fees paid for Mawson and Sessegnon included. Nothing like the losses we used to make a few years ago where everyone seemed to leave for free or very norminal fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly does not fit in to the current formation......our the last one. Take what we can and wish the lad well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 Take it the Lazio interest wasn't sustained then. Did wonder how serious that was- think we'd have got more from them- but how serious it was given like us they play a back 3. Variation within it of course, but... He'd flourish I think even more so in a true bona fide 4-3-3. On the left, one extra man in midfield behind ie in CM, wide left of that in a 4-3-3/4-3-2-1 hybrid type shape, on the left- think he'd do well. In terms of the Nimes deal, feels a bit cheap...interesting to see if he develops, kicks on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerseybean Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 Good luck NE, this (if it transpires) is the best outcome for all concerned IMO. NE needs regular football which he isn’t going to achieve with us. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and we may have realised more £’s pre-Covid. Trust that MA has reached the best deal possible given all the circumstances. Be interesting to see how his career develops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 He's good but not so good that you base a playing formation around him. As things stand- he'd just be getting splinters so makes complete sense to cash in particularly as he wanted to move on anyways. Good luck to him or Bon Chance as they say in Spain.

Davefevs Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 59 minutes ago, JonDolman said: A fantastic talent. But one we could not get the best out of. He will do well over there and we will hopefully make more from a future sale. I totally get what you’re saying Jon. Maybe we did get the best out of him....maybe he hasn’t got the football intelligence / maturity? I don’t know, just that I saw him fail to do add anything unless he had the ball at his feet. I know that sounds a stupid comment, but I rarely saw him (for example) come off the right touch line to create space for Hunt to overlap. Teams didn’t always have to double up on him either, because good blocking of passing lanes were enough to stop the ball getting to him. To thrive at Nimes he will need to be a focal point of their play. Ive no idea how good Nimes are in Ligue1 in comparison to top end of the Champ....or how tactical Ligue1 is beneath the “big clubs”. Good luck to him...will look forward to new highlight reels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to him...will look forward to new highlight reels. I think there is actually something wrong with his technique. I know it sounds weird because I have described him as a left footed David Beckham in the past, because of the incredible whip he gets on the ball. But he doesn't seem capable of actually kicking a ball straight or with any great power. I don't know if it is too late to change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see it going either way - it might be he proves he is a phenomenal talent we never quite found the right formation for or it may be that he drifts through the game as a bit part player at various clubs and never quite realises that supposed potential. I find both equally plausible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it is if you get hit by the bull! Seriously, there are, in fact, two distinct types of bullfighting in (Southern) France: the traditional type where the bulls are killed, and what is known as Course Camarguaise, named after the Camargue region of France in which Arles and Nimes are located. In direct contrast to traditional bullfighting, the bulls used in Course Camarguaise are not killed, but are much smaller and charge around for 15 minutes or so, chasing the (unarmed) matadors before being released unharmed. The Course Camarguaise is very much a spectacle or pageant and, as I mentioned earlier, part of the annual fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There exists the course Camarguaise where razeteurs, very bravely run across the arena trying to trap ribbons tied between the very lively bull’s horns. Then the Corrida, where the bulls are stabbed by the picadors on horseback and bleed before affronting, terrified and weakened, the matador. It is sadistic torture, nothing more.
