Wouldn't be surprised to see Bill leave in the Summer personally. I'm sorry.., Bill？ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 If it was simply that they rate Matthews more highly then Ayling would be on the bench in front of Mark Little, but he is not. Assuming Matthews signs in the summer, right back will be one of very few positions where we will actually have a player too many. On recent evidence Ayling seems a more likely departure then than Little.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexukhc Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 I just think because of his injury and formation change, plus the form of others he's lost his place. Even substitutes such as Waggy have found form better than Luke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negan Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Well Matthews is quality, head and shoulders above Ayling but he's still worth keeping as a squad player. Can play a number of positions and we need a bigger squad full of quality if we're to progress. Would be silly to let him go. Do find it a bit odd that he hasn't tweeted since the incident at Cheltenham. Was usually one of the more active tweeters from our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordy62 Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Sad news. Thought he was an excellent player. I'll wager that in a couple of years time we'll be cursing the day we let him go. You don't see many defenders so comfortable on the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly like Ayling but from what little I've seen of Matthews he certainly looks the better player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Vega Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 My only concern with him leaving and I don't want him to go by the way , is we may have to keep Little who just isn't championship standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd that you think I'm wound up? Couldn't care less. Clearly that isn't the case though as I and most others know nothing and just presume he's out of favour/down in the pecking order, however some on this thread replying with their "WRONG" etc type responses to any speculation suggests they know something.

Refer to Matthews-who,himself,is still not 100% yet..there is not comparison.Matthews,Goldbourne,Tomlin,Baker-these are the standards that we now have to seek/maintain to be comfortable in the Championship.whether or not certain players when as a natural course slip down the pecking order stay as 'cover' is the question,as they all can't stay.
