TroyDyer Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Clough says Fielding, Legdz, Theo, Bailey, Tyson, O Connor, all allowed to leave and find new clubs. Disappointed with Bailey and Theo. The others were pretty obvious. But before we start to panic, we have managed to keep hold of Conor Doyle. Phew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TroyDyer Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 I like Bailey, and I think Theo can do a job. His pace alone is a massive asset. The rest are pretty obvious. Grant is number 1 and so are Fielding and Legz, so two were bound to leave. O Connor doesn't get a look in, and with another centre half imminent, he's finished. And Tyson is on big wages I would imagine (having come on a free) and injured a lot. I am confused about Doyle though. Not really sure what his place is. My mate on twitter said he's there to hold O'Briens crutches. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheron85 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 At least he isn't afraid to make changes when the players he has bought ain't as good as he thought.... Or they were good enough for a mid-table team but not good enough if we want to be a playoff team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaspode Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 All Clough signings too so maybe he has only himself to blame. What's with this 'blame' rubbish? I'm not a Clough fan, but since he's been here it's all been about building (or re-building) the team - we've brought players in to do a job....in some cases that has worked well (Fielding, Ledge, Bailey when he first arrived, Theo up to a point) in others not so good (O'Connor) and in some cases, they've been abject failures (Tyson). I'm sure that each player has been brought in in the hope that they would improve the existing squad (in most cases for lower wages than the players they replaced) - Clough is no doubt disappointed that some didn't progress as much as he'd hoped. If we're to progress further (as the fans demand), we have to carry on that building by stripping out those who can't get better (or want to move on) and bringing in more quality - would you rather we kept the dead wood and went backwards?

Ambitious Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Theo Robinson is a god awful footballer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansea ram Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 All Clough signings too so maybe he has only himself to blame. Clough has been here over 4 years, so they are obviously going to be his signings. Geeeeeez, I wish some people would think before they write these things.

Duracell Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I am confused about Doyle though. Not really sure what his place is. My mate on twitter said he's there to hold O'Briens crutches. Maybe. He's the top scorer in the U21 team. He's on ridiculously low wages, doesn't have to be near the first team if he's not good enough, but Clough just wants one more season to look at him. It's not like it's a case of Conor Doyle or James Vaughan. You can have both. You can have your cake and nibble at it (Doyle being the nibble, of course).

Guest Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Or they were good enough for a mid-table team but not good enough if we want to be a playoff team? Not one of them though has been able to hold a place down in the team last season, so not really good enough for a mid table team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestLondonRam Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 WTF!! We have been over this time and time again. Yes they are his players, yes they are not good enough NOW.. they were brought in for low wages to plug gaps until we get better players in. Which it now looks like we are, so what is the problem?

If it keeps the owners happy and makes them more likely to invest, who are we to judge? I suppose it's like Forest having a tame Kuwaiti on the bench.

Geeeeeez, I wish some people would think before they write these things. Ok, maybe I am only making a debatable point. But I do think it slightly worrying that Clough has signed how many keepers and he still is looking for the best one? And here for 4 years ? that aint that long, Giggs has outlasted Ferguson whos been at Manure for 26 years! I would prefer to see less quantity of deals and a bit more quality.

He has been shopping in the bargain basement though so you've got to expect a decent failure rate. With the amount we've been paying I'd say they werent even failures as most will recover their transfer fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
