ScottishRed Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 For what it’s worth I expect him to go on and have a good career. I have no idea how it came to this and is disappointing, but I don’t think he let us down on or off the pitch. I wish him well. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Billy Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 Personally in my opinion half of Massengo’s problem was Massengo . I think at times he tried too hard in games. His over exuberance impacted his discipline to hold his shape. Maybe this was because he was trying too hard to win a place in the team or maybe to justify his transfer fee but unlike many who have left us you could never accuse him of not putting a shift in. Reminds me in many ways of Liam Robinson. You always got that feeling that if he clicked he would be unplayable. I wish him all the best. My best memory was when he lost the ball and then tracked all the way back to right back and won the ball back. Got kicked by the opposition and won a free kick. There was a cheer around the ground as if we’d scored a goal! Good luck Hans! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuber Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 1 hour ago, Davefevs said: As I’ve said I can discuss all day long about our players. Do people really only talk about Preston (a) last season, as the one game he played well? That probably tells me a lot! Anyway, it’s futile, he’s off. I look forward to seeing where he ends up and how his career plays out. But worth all posters remembering, Massengo didn’t set the fee when he joined. Agree. And you have to question whether knowing Han wanted to leave (not extend) that far back whether we missed an opportunity (for whatever reason) to move him on last summer. On the flip-side maybe he resisted too. I don’t know. I think the problem for Han, Preston aside - is that one his last games was that shambolic performance at Brum back in October (?) - think he got subbed off for Kadji. The only game this season I thought he played decently in was Cardiff at home, to be honest. I do think - this season at least - there were not many genuinely good performance. Mainly because mentally, positionally at least, he never seemed switched on - I think ultimately it just got stale for him and he needs fresh setting as proved at Auxerre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 A decent player who for whatever reason didn’t live up to expectations (or at least my expectations) after such a promising first series of games for us. But I loved his whole-hearted approach and I’m sure he’ll have a good career at a high level. Best wishes to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 What a classy farewell. I shouldn't be surprised, it goes with his demeanour. A real sadness from me that it didn't work out in the end here, I personally thought we should have played him further forward, but that's how things go sometimes. I can do nothing but wish him all the best for the future. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, English FA (EFL / PL) retained the old 24 years of age “compo / tribunal scheme”, the rest of FIFA adopted 23. The FA use a panel to decide compo. FIFA use a fixed calculation…and it’s low value. 2 hours ago, Fuber said: I think the problem for Han, Preston aside - is that one his last games was that shambolic performance at Brum back in October (?) - think he got subbed off for Kadji.

Agree that Brum was a crap performance, in a crap team performance too. It cost Bentley his place here! As for good performances, Luton (h), Coventry (a) (Lg Cup). But there is also the good old “6/10” performance in between good and crap too. He only made 6 league + 2 cup starts. I’m sure a move was the best for him come the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDarwall Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 I defy anyone who watched his 1st appearance (Qpr away, in the cup) to have predicated have miserably his time here would fizzle out.

Merrick's Marvels Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 (edited) If Pearson had arrived earlier - instead of Holden, say - who knows where Massengo would be now. But it's pointless crying over spilt milk, he's history, good luck to him but we look to the future.

Silvio Dante Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 HNM seems a personable and pleasant bloke. I’d say the one thing he may have done wrong was not let us know further in advance he was leaving but he’s under no obligation there. From a footballing sense, in the age old “hit” or “miss”, he has to go down as a “miss”. I never really saw from game one to game 100 any sign of real progression - both in terms of consistency and in terms, most key of all for me, of positional awareness. It might be stretching a point to say he just ran around, but he certainly had limited positional discipline - whether playing well and getting over enthusiastic or poorly and trying too hard. He didn’t just have the one good game, but his good games were too infrequent, and you could never rely on him to go out and just do a job. I don’t think it was for want of trying, I just don’t think he ever progressed - and as has been said, it’s a shame Nige wasn’t here sooner in how he’s brought players through. Similar to Elliasson, he got a bit of a pass from the fanbase for being foreign and having the odd dazzling moment. But if we’d had most midfielders here and over 100 games (not about goals and assists), having a chequered, non improving record then a fond farewell message wouldn’t butter any parsnips. Wish him well, but not really fussed that he’s gone. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretSam Posted July 5, 2023 Report Share Posted July 5, 2023 Shame. I don't see City that much, but I did see HNM a bit, and there were glimpses of a player who could be tremendous - but he needs coaching, to be developed into the special talent he can become. Seems a lovely lad and I'm genuinely gutted. Best wishes to him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any of the clubs in La Liga, the Bundesliga & Ligue 1 that he’s been linked with are true, then I’d be absolutely amazed if he is in The Championship again next season. Burnley I could understand, the chance to play against Man City, Arsenal, Man U, Liverpool etc, but not to play in England again at our level.

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 Elisssom had 3rd highest assists in the division, double figures in his final season despite not necessarily starting week in week out. Did he have other areas of his gsme that needed improvement of course but only Wallace and Pereira out assisted that year, in the case of Pereria in an undoubtedly stronger and more creative West Brom.
