Cannot see Pack being a regular starter when Korey is back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarmyArmy Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 For me he has to play ahead of Reid in the holding midfield positions. Reid has been poor so far this season. Surprised he has signed the new contract, would have expected him to be guaranteed first team football somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I particularly look forward to the additional membership of Luke Freeman who I'm sure will follow. He has had over a season to prove it. He hasn't. Needs to be sold.

Lanterne Rouge Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Who is actually now out of contract at the end of the season? Wilbs obviously and I think Luke Freeman & Frankie might be too. Mark Little perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope he carries on improving! Don't actually recall LJ playing his heart out ever. Certainly not in terms of chasing back or putting his foot in. Not a LJ bash but no comparison in my opinion. Great news for City this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BITW Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Great news this. Marlon for me looks a better player in the champ than he did in L1. Still only 25 and only going to get better. WE FELL IN LOVE WITH MARLON PACK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Pleased. I get the sense he's a popular member of the sqaud and plays a part in them being a tight bunch. Only 25 as well - as someone else said he's not even in his prime yet. Maybe needs to add goals to his game, but does the defensive part as good as anyone else in our current midfield crop for me. LJ has certainly got the best out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Fox Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Great news, and looking at his form so far I do not think that Korey is an automatic shoe in to take his place when he returns from injury. Great to have options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevthered Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Last week Ipswich were alleged to be interested in him ...Mick McCarthy knows a good footballer so glad we signed him up, would have been gutted had Ipswich got him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unan Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Great extension, expect Smith will start ahead of him but we need to be looking to hold on to Pack so he's our player after GON's left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Good news. Pack has improved greatly during his time with us, especially the second half of last season, and is a decent Championship midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 I always use this test when I hear about players signing extended deals or moving; would I like seeing him play for another team against us? For Pack it would be a big 'NO' from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll find that despite Pack's obvious talent and ability to affect a game since coming from Cheltenham is that the fan jury has been out or near hostile for 2 seasons until now. In respect to Luke, he has had one season where he has clearly struggled, yet another where he created the highest assists during our Double season. Lee Johnson clearly sees something you and others don't. Like poor little Bobby - who's not big enough and L2 Plymouth is where he "found his level". Players develop at different stages. Luke is still only 24 and still developing. I'd have been really disappointed if he had been sold and think we still need him around or in the team. Every season since O'Driscoll took over we've had a surprise package in a player raising their game beyond fan's expectation and verdict and I'm pretty sure Luke is capable of becoming one of them.

DavidNoble Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Excellent news. As all have said, he's a terrific player that is ever improving with his best years well ahead of him. It takes someone that understands football to understand just how good he is and how good he can be. He reminds me a lot of Michael Carrick. Gary O'Neil, Marlon Pack, Korey Smith, Bobby Reid, Josh Brownhill can all play CM however you'd imagine that the first 3 will play and rotate throughout the season.
