bexhill reds Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 16 minutes ago, Super said: Wouldn't be bothered if Nagy went. He has done very little since he has been here, Hopefully we see what Morrell can do. I reckon there is a player in there and as a compliment to Morrell. He looked really really good before his injury which combined with alleged settling issues made him lose his way a little. This season will be the make or break for him, if you believe the club's output he's come back fit and seems keen to impress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcusX Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 Well first ones right, with SS going. Strange signing and wonder if it was one of those that we bought just to improve and sell on with no intention of him making the squad? Was always behind Paterson, Palmer and arguably Eliason and COD in any number 10/behind the striker role. Shame as he looks a decent player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Dijon broke their transfer record just 3 days ago to sign an Ivory Coast striker for €3.6m, prior to which their record was just €2m. That doesn't sound like a club that is about to also shell out on what we're likely to expect for Fam. Not does Ligue 1 strike me as the sort of place Fam considers a forward step. Side note - Lois Diony came from Dijon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 As if Diedhiou would go there. He joined us to get away from a non descript French side.* *I realise we are a non descript English side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 7 minutes ago, Davefevs said: These French sources come from nowhere, but they tend to be factual. If you remember Kodjia’s transfer was broken by the French sports media, who tend to be very good. Dijon is a lovely place but they are not a big club, they narrowly stayed up last season & had to win a playoff to remain in the top flight the year before. However for a native French speaker with a history of playing there this may well appeal, I guess it would come down to the money they offered him & us, though I would doubt we would get any more than we originally paid.

steviestevieneville Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 14 hours ago, marcofisher said: I agree with everything you say, but 5 players would be optimal for this. 7 is stockpiling. 5 isn’t enough . One injury and you’re stretched. If you’re playing 3 in midfield you need at least 2 on the bench at any one time . In a normal season , we would of already played 5-6 league games ,with cup games , we’ll need at least 6 . We’ve got a very condensed season. We’ve got enough various types of midfielders now to cover all bases. If Eliasson , Palmer and o’dowda leave and Bakinson on Loan. That leaves. Nagy, massengo, Morrell, brunt, Walsh , pato, wiemann who can also play up top. That’s fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was more bemoaning keeping Bakinson around as cover when we have more than enough cover now with Brunt and also Rowe in those positions. It worked wonders for Walsh and Morrell to go out and get 30+ games in L1 so I think it would be far better for his development to do exactly the same.

The one I'd disagree with and think and hope could really excel in this Holden system rotating for game time with Paterson is Kasey Palmer. If kept on, I think this system (and Holden's 'express yourself' mentality) will get the best out of him as will playing alongside players like Williams, Morrell, Walsh, Mawson, Martin and even Taylor Moore who he will be able to link up with much easier in Holden's more high tempo style. Having a look at the video below it struck me particularly in the Huddersfield (he helped get them promoted that season of course) and Blackburn clips how effective he looked in a deeper role than we have often seen him, pinging passes around as you'd expect but also getting stuck into challenges and harrying the opposition when not in possession.

RedRoss Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 I think Fam will go. If he was going to stay he would of signed by now. We need to sell now to retain any fee. If we get 3 million back it will be successful business considering the goals he's scored and probably prevented defending corners. Good player and always gave his all but if his heart isn't here anymore let him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact he has not signed a new contract suggests he has no real intention of signing if a better offer comes along. The longer this goes on the harder it will be to replace him. I am sure they are but let us hope the club are looking at this situation now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loco Rojo Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 20 hours ago, BOSRed said: Interesting that DH said KP text him asking for a chat today. Wonder if that was a talk about his opportunities (or lack thereof) and a move away if he won’t get any game time.... similar to what I saw with Danny rose and mourinho on the spurs documentary on amazon Good spot. I thought that when I read it too. No doubt he would have wanted to discuss where Dean sees him fitting in under the new management plans but no doubt that he probably would want a move if he thinks his time here will be a carry on from Lee's approach. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. Such a shame his time hasn't worked out and his best moments (for me) were when he linked up with Afobe who got the best out of him (certainly his confidence seemed sky high).
