SouthStand Sandwich Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 Any idea as to what the latest is with Adam? To quote LJ 'id rather keep that to myself for the moment ... Hoping he'll be in the squad next week' ... What does that mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WirralRobin Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 It doesn't sound positive at all does it. A real shame as I think there is a serious player in there if we can get him injury free. Was really hoping with a full preseason he'd be an important player for us next year, seeing the sort of second season improvement we saw from Eliasson.

ChubStixx Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 Gut feeling is that he's struggling to settle here. Wouldn't be surprised to see him leave at the end of the season. Shame, because I think he could be a good player for us. On a side note, why have we assembled a centre midfield consisting solely of smaller players. Where's the balance?! Frustrating.

formerly known as ivan Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 What did we pay for him, £2m? No point having a player here if they are unhappy for whatever reason. Recoup that money or even better, make a profit. That will free up a place for Walsh or Morrell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 Dont buy any more players from Italy. Whether it's the club overexaggerated propaganda or what attracting them but the reality is no one who has lived in Italy would rather live in Bristol. Djuric, Nagy, Magnussen. All sound great, all couldn't hack it here professionally and or sociologically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the case that everyone has been reassessing their priorities at this time, and I can quite easily see how someone who wasn’t fully settled before would have that magnified by what’s happened. Don’t know whether he spent lockdown here, in Italy or in Hungary but whichever way, it’s a lot of time to think. Guess I’m saying I can see how from a human angle it’d make a lot of sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperRed Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 Be great if we could recoup what we paid for him with Walsh and Morrell coming back next season.

RobArnold10 Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 There’s also another thing that could be going on here...he could be waiting on results for a COVID test after showing symptoms.

No idea why we signed Nagy, a completely unnecessary signing in my opinion and certainly blocked the pathway for both Walsh and Morrell. Morrell had only played a handful of games but to me looked reasonably comfortable at this level. I really hope Morrell and Walsh are a regular part of the team next season.

I expect @Hunsupport can confirm one way or the other, Yeah, after the first 2 weeks he came home and flew back 10-14 days before the trainings re-started. And tbh if anything he seemed much more settled than before, at least that was prettey clear impression during his interviews. He was very eager to go back and he looked happy during training videos as well. Also he had a brief interview cca. 1 week ago and he stated that didn't have any pain or symptoms during the trainings and games so it seems his ankle problem is in the past as well. He also left his girlfreind behind in Budapest so she could look after both their parents while he can focus onlys on the task at hand. Believe me, he sounded over the moon happy about the restart in Bristol. It's awkvard as seemingly he is not injured, if he is why wouldn't he just say so (not ruling out an extreme household accident but not likely), so I can only imagine 3 reasons for his dismissal: 1, positive COVID (that could only happen on Thursday so that makes LJ comment on next Sunday false as that's the 10th so he could only back on training next Monday after negative test 2, some sudden personal /family problem (that again is controversial as if it was serious we should have flew home which immediately rules him out for several weeks because of the quarantine protocol) 3, as Davefevs wrote in another topic maybe a bid came in for him which the club fancies and they decided for him to sit this out and think it through. I listened to that interview 3 times, LJ sounded to me like the decision not play him was out of his hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Nagy is a good technical player, but we really need a different midfield set up to get the best of him. I would sacrifice him (not in a Whicker Man way ) to get a Morrell and Walsh in our set up (sink or swim), even more room with Henriksen not a candidate to return next season now that he’s been released. I still reserve judgement on Walsh, but hope he can show more like he did v Stoke. Morrell proved he has the game in those games he played the season before and can up his game as proved for Wales. 33 minutes ago, Hunsupport said: Yeah, after the first 2 weeks he came home and flew back 10-14 days before the trainings re-started.

Dan Robin Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 I don't know if he could give us a boost in midfield, but surely not having him in the team would be a blow, especially after Henriksen's departure. This would leave Smith & Massengo as starters and the duo Vyner-Rowe as second choices: not good enough IMO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the "maybe an offer came in": there's a chance that we both think that because he was talking about Nagy after Henriksen's offers so the two just blurred together in our minds. I would be surprised by a positive test btw after travelling in and out 2 countries with mandatory testing and since then he had like 8 tests during this 'pre-season'. Also I'm not convinced that this self-testing is a reliable way at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eardun Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 Could just be as simple as Nagy felt unwell on Friday. Perhaps nothing to do with COVID. Even if mild COVID symptoms, City may not have had the results of any test yesterday hence LJ said he hoped to be available next Sunday (if negative). I liked the look of Nagy before his injury (I remember a number on here saying ‘Pack who? as a result) and I’m hoping he is fully fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
