Nuwtfly Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Thorne and Hughes are a given to stay. Butterfield: wouldn't be surprised if he gets more of a chance now that his former boss, Powell, is here. Johnson: Pearson will probably look to get the best out of him (and their money's worth) plus he might be the kind of battler we need. Therefore, it has to be either Bryson or Hendricks, and seeing as Bryson is 29 (as opposed to the 23 year old, Hendrick) it would probably have to be him.

I would rather a 29 year old Bryson for 3 years or so then a 23 year old Jeff for 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Bryson and Hendrick are both a bit "much of a muchness" championship midfielder. If Jeff has a good euro though we cash in on an island inflated fee. I don't think we'd get a very high fee for Bryson, long contract, good wages (better than Burnley anyway) and he doesn't want to leave. If he's out the picture he might want to go to Celtic though. He'd get more Scotland caps if he went to Celtic too. Would be sad to see either go, but the n context it'd be OK. Doubt we'd sell butters and Brad as the financial hit would be massive.

cannable Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I wonder what people who patronise Bryson's work rate think this mythical "pacey striker" would contribute to our build up play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Sheriff Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Really surprised with the recent comments. Bryson has been one of our best players last few months. He's only 29 and I think he can replicate the form he showed 2 seasons ago over the next season. Chris Martin certainly needs him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the ones who patronise Hendrick for being "average". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Ram Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Other than Hughes, I don't think there's a wrong answer. Whoever's sold, you can justify selling them and we'll still be left with some great CM's, I completely back whoever Pearson gets rid of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsdubs Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Thing is people seem to be blinded by personal affection for players rather than what actually happens on the pitch. Buxton is my favourite player, do i believe he should stay and displace Keogh or Shackell? No. Hendrick is the proper long term option for us over Bryson, Bryson hasn't really hit the same heights for a while as much as I like him as a player. hendrick's performance against Hull showed he has a good future ahead of him.

archied Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 There's also the consideration that age in most good teams is a blend you can't base all your keep and sell criteria on ones for the future , they have to be mixed in with ones for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Thorne and Hughes we have to keep otherwise no-one will take us seriously as a future Premier League team... I'd keep Bryson myself as I think a box-to-box midfielder is essential at any level... Would like to keep Butters as an extra creative type but my worry is that every single one of our CMs will (rightly) expect first team football next season as they're all good enough at this level... Think it's only been injuries this season which has seen them all play enough part to keep them happy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van der MoodHoover Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 On 05/06/2016 at 21:15, Posh Ram said: Hendrick for sure. I think Johnson is the worst midfielder we have, but I don't really want to sell him at a loss and feel like Pearson could improve him. That being said look at how Norwich got rid of him, he's clearly not cut out for the Premier League. But Hendrick hasn't done the business for a long time. He's got such a tendency to be anonymous in games, isn't strong and isn't particularly good defensively or going forward. Plus I think we could get a good fee for him. With all those faults? Have we managed to offload our recruitment team to another club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagerbob Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 This aint football manager on a computer. They are all under contract and aside for big spending teams chasing promotion teams dont tend to pay significant fees for in contract players. The one we sell is the one who is bid for, and we accept, or the ones who get out of contract first, and we ship out on loan with a few to a permanent signing in the last 6 months of their contract.
