Boss Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Don't really post much on here but thought it would be interesting to see who put of the new players will prove to be the most valuable member of the team. The obvious choice is Johnny Russell due to all the excitement he's cause but I have a feeling that Lee Grant really might be what we've been missing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott129 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I'm sticking with Russell. I've watched a lot of him in the SPL and have been one of his biggest advocates on here. I won't go so far as to say he'll be the most valuable player on the whole team but he'll be up there in my opinion. As for the whole team, Brayford or Hughes would be MVP.

networker1884 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 For the first time in years I don't think there is a stand out player. Out of Keogh, Brayford, Bryson, Hendrick, Hughes, Russell, Grant, Sammon, and Ward. I'll have to say Russell. Closely followed by Grant. Either would have made the difference last season. Having both will be key to any success this season. But that's not what you're asking is it...most valuable overall, Hughes. Key player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Non-capped Scottish striker Russell whose never played a single game at NPC level is already our MVP.. wow. I kind of feel sorry for the guy, you lot have built him up to be as good as Messi so if he only turns out to be like Theo the ****** will start to boo his every dodgy touch..

mcsilks Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 How can Russell be our most important player. He hasn't even kicked a ball yet. There's every chance he'll turn out to be a total flop. My wife could probably score goals in the non league that is Scottish football. I hope he does turn out to be an inspired signing but if the guy was as good as everyone claims, then why were we able to pick him up for so little and why did Celtic show no interest when he was offered to them on a plate? As it stands, I would still make Martin and Sammon our top 2 and hopefully Russell force his way into the 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll still need to score em at the other end thou - hopefully Russell the guy.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSheep Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I believe its called preseason excitement. People are looking forward to the prospect of Russell. And where did it say the "best player in the team"? I thought the question was the best out of the signings. He could turn out to be a flop and score around 5 goals a season, we don't know yet. But surely it will help him being in a positive environment where he feels wanted. If everyone was negative about him, why would he play good? I think you should just stay positive until the season starts to have a look at all the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uttoxram75 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Lets assume all the players below have a great season (also assume all in contract etc).... Sammon £1.5m Martin £1.7m Brayford £2m Hendrick £3m Hughes £5m Buxton £priceless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 If anyone offered £1.5m for Sammon I'd take him where it was myself and shake their hand. Maybe give them a handy in private too, I'd be that pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaddesdenRam Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 If we are talking valuable in terms of value no one can argue it is Hughes. However if you mean valuable to the team that is down to opinion, the stats via Actim index say Keogh was our most influential player followed by Coutts. Now I along with most think Coutts is a weaker link than most in our team now? I think the best way to look at it is to say ok if you took that player out the team we would struggle the most. So on that basis I would say no Keogh and we would struggle the most, Grant potentially. Arguably Russell but that as pointed out earlier can only be a prediction, he could flop. 1 Keogh 2 Grant (if Lego goes) 3 Barker ?? 4 Hendrick 5 Ward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Grant (if Lego goes) Not sure I understand, why would Legzdins leaving allow Grant to be the second most valuable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddesdenRam Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 If Legzdins left then that would mean we have grant and deeney, Instead of grant and lego Therefore if grant was taken out of the team without Lego we would be worse off, making grant more valuable. Grants replacement would be poor making him more valuable if that makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheron85 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Barker... I have a feeling that him coming back at Christmas (that feels poetic) will be the rock we need to solidify a top 6 position for the second half of the season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
