Just spoke to him and his misses in town. 10 out of 10 by the way . He really loves Bristol. And the fans. His words. Asked him if he was staying. He said he wants to play regularly and he has plenty of interest. What a top man

Really? He is 24 years old. In any other aspect that wouldn't be deemed old but for a footballer to be a bit part player at that age isn't great. Don't think you can use the 'one for the future' line for Hörður and you can't blame him for wanting to be starting week in week out which will almost certainly be away from us. Shame as I think he is a good player and seems a genuine guy as well

Possibly, it could be he's too nice and easy to drop and keep on the sidelines and not disrupt the dressing room 

He's always so positive and that's good to see - would like him to be a success at AG

Reminds me of Richard Keogh when he was here. We knew he was a good player but the centre backs were playing well so there was no reason to drop them.

The same applies to Mags with Wright and Baker playing well. If he wants regular games and moves on you can't blame him. But if Flint goes his chance will come sooner or later and he has to seize it.

Perhaps he should bear in mind that Bobby is a similar age and has bided his time. You never know what is around the corner.

What was he supposed to say?

He didn't have to say anything. Just a really down to earth bloke 

Comes across as a pretty intelligent guy too. I wonder if that comes into our thinking when recruiting - off the top of my head Hegeler, Moore, Magnússon, Bryan and Pack all seem far brighter than your average footballer.

The squad average IQ probably shot up considerably when Tomlin left anyway..

I think the average may have been reduced a bit by Pato though........

I think he's the sort of guy every club needs in the dressing room though, loads of banter, clearly a funny bloke, probably great to have around the camp!

True. It tells you a lot that he went off to Vegas with the `older hands` last summer. If they hadn`t wanted him there he wouldn`t have been - he does seem very popular.

I like him, I think he is a smart and intelligent footballer so it is with a bout of disappointment that I think he will have to leave to get what he wants. Bryan isn't going to be bought by a premier league side and if he was then it looks like there is still plenty of competition in that position, it looks like we have just rebuilt our central defence for the next 3 years (at least) while he has been at the club and hasn't been built into that. I think he is too weak for this league and doesn't really fit in unfortunately.

Patterson and Brownhill were stupendous in the quiz games shown from the training camp. Luckily great players don't need to be well informed, to be quality footballers

Certainly knowledge and intelligence are not the same thing.

Football intelligence is something else again, though often sadly lacking in English players compared to their foreign counterparts.

Which player was nicknamed Trigger? Brownhill?

Maybe I dreamt it or maybe from another club?

 

It was the reserve keeper from a year or two back. To my shame I`ve forgotten his name, Dave something?

Yep, agree about Keogh, really wanted him to get a decent run in the side.

Dave Richards, now of Crewe.

Who still hasn't had a minute of game time.  I can't wait for Garratt to get sent off or injured.

Me and Joe spent the whole of 14/15 watching Trigger in the practice goal before the game.  Nice guy.  He actually improved significantly over that season.

I can`t recall the exact details but Plymouth`s sub keeper came on in a game last season for some reason and that was the first time he`d got on ever. I can`t remember his name but he was about thirty and had been at about ten clubs.

And that's the worry... being brutally honest, Hörður wants to be  here; if Flint wants away get shot. Then we would have an international player who can compete with Baker as to who patners our skipper. I think he is a cracking player is Hörður...

Interesting you mention Hegeler being bright, Phileas. He and old teammate Stefan Reinartz actually developed the data based method for analysing football matches called "packing", which has apparently become popular in Germany the last two years. There's actually a German Wikipedia article about it, which mentions Hegeler a few times:

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packing_(Fußball)

(Of course it'll need translating!)

Why do I love Hörður? He's got the looks, the nice personality, the money, the best job and a girl like that.

I should hate the bloke's guts   :laugh:

I really like Hörður and feel sorry for him but, at the moment, I think - even excluding Flint - we have two better centre backs plus one who offers something different. I feel for him but, at the moment, do not disagree with the decision to pick other players instead. Hope he comes good.

Difficult to come good when you are not afforded a proper chance just like Engvall and by the looks of things Eliasson, my estimation is 6mil for very little return so far.

Have I missed something? Eliasson has literally just arrived and already had a start and sub appearances?

Rewind, the context of this reply was in answer to a question about Magnússon + the signing of Leko and assurances to WBA and where it will leave ODowda and Eliasson, I was speculating about the fact that ODowda seems to be LJ's go to guy from the subs bench + the treatment of Magnússon and Engvall.

And in the case of Magnússon somebody on here claimed that he was 'one for the future', he's 24 years old and a current international and has barely had a look in in his 12 months here.

So yes you have missed something.

Posted this in a transfer thread about Magnússon. Hope it's alright to post here as well as a more general discussion about his abilities. 

"In Iceland at the moment, watched Iceland vs. Ukraine last night and Magnússon started as a LB. Was up against Yarmolenko from Dortmund, had some problems for the first 15 minutes or so but then kept him quiet. If I didn't know better I would have thought he was the one playing for Dortmund."
