wendyredredrobin Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 Better rest Joe Williams for this one then and Pringy has a habit of collecting cards too. Awarding a penalty every other game gives us a fighting chance of getting one too. Our last ref was really good - gave us a last min (questionable) penalty and even did the washing up before she went home. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be James, King and Williams last time in front of the AG crowd??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem with bringing these 3 on later in the game if we are 2 or 3 up. I would hope we can keep Joe Williams and whilst I like both Andy King and Matty James, they are both too old now to justify paying their wages for another season. We need to be looking forward, except that these two have had their day and thank them for their service. I would imagine getting these two off the payrole might be sufficient to fund a decent striker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Conway is nowhere near ready for a step up (and not sure he ever will be) and would be better off staying here at the moment. Not sure we have seen enough of Twine to really judge him, but clearly not worth a seven figure transfer fee, at least yet. Medube is a strange one. Nobody really knows what has been going on with him, do they, though we have speculated 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody really knows what has been going on with him, do they, though we have speculated If I had to lay odds on it I’d think that the only one who may be here next season is Twine, but I agree with your analysis of him in terms of value - the only thing I’d disagree on is in terms of pure scouting, if you’d seen someone seven times, then you’d be expected to make a call - no reason why that should change for someone we have on loan.

Imho Matty James has far from “had his day”, but that’s not that I expect to see him here next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won’t get Prem football (or wages) by staying here even if he plays into his forties, the worst that happens if he takes the chance of a Prem move is he doubles his money (or more) and ends up on the bench for a year before dropping back down a much richer man and with some Prem experience. This is the reality that City are competing with sadly. I’d love for him to stay but can’t see it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure we have seen enough of Twine to really judge him, but clearly not worth a seven figure transfer fee, at least yet. I agree on both highlighted points wendy - unless the SPL is considered a ‘step up’ for Conway…….…… As for Twine - no we haven’t seen enough of him particularly as he’s been missing and won’t have yet regained the match sharpness. Any player that’s been injured for quite some time would have the same readjustment to match fitness. That said the glimpses we have seen have shown what a fully fit Twine would bring. His set piece delivery is excellent as we saw at Norwich and he can certainly see a pass. He and Williams in midfield would be quite a prospect - I don’t think he’s worth anywhere near £5m quoted tho but if City could get him for half that or maybe £3m then go for it.

What I will say about Twine is that he wins(?) a lot of free kicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Smyth at QPR, I think his average is increased to the 100 times Pring fouled him at Loftus Road! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She also booked one of their players for a foul he committed in a game 4 years ago. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
