Oh Louie louie Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 And I'm truly glad, speculation is worthy of debate's Marco! If everybody didn't agree why bother posting! If I did one thread on speculation in the evening post for example, I'd expect people to think I'm not wired up right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBsource Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 HNM on Instagram: 'After more than 3 years in England, the opportunity arose for me to return to France and the 1st league with AJA. My teammates and I had a clear mission to maintain. We gave ourselves the means to keep the hope of reaching our goal until the last day. And although it ended in failure, I am proud of the efforts made by the team and everyone involved in the club. I especially want to thank you, supporters, for your love and support. My Auxerre adventure was short-lived, but I took great pleasure in playing Abbé-Deschamps and defending the colors of AJA. I will cherish the moments and emotions that we were able to share you and me. Wish you all the best.' I still feel there's a place for him in the team. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure, it was all very exciting signing a wonderkid from a famous club, but he had no love for us and it was a matter of winding his contract down to wait for something better to come along.. as a kante type player his work rate might allow him to do that role, but as a box to box midfielder he clearly contributed very little in terms of goals and assists, and then scott came along who is clearly far superior. Good luck to him, but hes one of the last of the mark ashton signings who we will have to give away and almost certainly will be at another loss?

In a true central 3 I could see him fitting better than prior when NP wasn't confident in the 4-3-3, or when Holden and Johnson didn't However the ship has sailed unfortunately. No goals granted but his game wasn't really about that, assists yeah perhaps should have had more od these but to play in a 2 or a 3 with an unnatural 3rd player ie Palmer or whoever, can leave the 2nd true CM exposed and or unbalance the team a bit given the energy of Massengo. Way it is evolving now would have suited a number of the 2019 intake IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to him, but hes one of the last of the mark ashton signings who we will have to give away and almost certainly will be at another loss? Saying he had no love for us is a bit harsh. He absolutely adored Bristol, he had and still does have a good relationship with Nige, he had and still does have a great relationship with a number of the players. He always gave 100% for us. He signed a deal for 4 years and in the first 3 years at no point did he want to leave, in fact he was asked if he wanted to go on loan to another club during Holden’s reign but chose to stay and fight for his place, which he got when Nige arrived. He was only open to a move before his contract was up once Nige had made it clear, quite rightly, that he wouldn’t feature in his plans if he wasn’t staying beyond his contract. He felt 4 years was a good length of time at a club and wants a new challenge and I must say if I was lucky enough to be a professional footballer I think I’d be the same. Try new things, freshen things up, a new challenge. It doesn’t mean to say I’d have no love for the clubs I’d served. 14 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topper 123 Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 It was up to him to prove himself and unfortunately he let himself down , if he stays his attitude must change as with all our players, Luton showed these players it’s about sticking in attitude means a lot , players get one chance in football and if they don’t achieve every 90 mins , and let’s get it straight they got best pitches , training facilities, coaches , physios , these players today don’t know their born LUTON showed if you want it you galvanise and dig deep and get it , so back to player if he don’t want be Bristol City then **** off 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petehinton Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 I don’t think anyone disputes he’s a good player, but worthy of even more money than he’s on now? Absolutely not. Id argue we haven’t missed him one bit since he’s been out the squad or disregarded tbh. Can’t really think of any games where I thought ‘would love to have HNM to bring on now’ 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
