Bosshogg Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Massive no from me. Always injured and although technically very good looks nervous when he plays probably because of the injury’s. Such a shame as he could of been a very good were it not for his many injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeedsRam1999 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Free agent, probably not on a mega wage and a position we could do with some more bodies in. Constant injuries are a problem but he fits the bill of the signings we need to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 History suggests he can compete with Thorne in the under contract but can’t play because this that or the other - no thanks for me he has played as much first team football as bogle has which tells us everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has had a few loan spells cut short, and his injury record isn’t great though for sure. i suspect he will go to Swansea anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srg Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Can't stay fit, looks 55 when he's only 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abu Dhabi Ram Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Good player, but prone to Darren andertonitus, would be competing with Thorne... for a place in the treatment room! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 We have to stop buying players because they're a 'bargain'. Just like the turquoise t-shirt you got in the Next sale, they stay unused and you end up chucking them away. We have a bloated squad through this approach. I would rather we identified targets we are confident will get us up and then decide who needs to go to make that happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTFY re: Butterfield, Johnson, Olsson, Blackman, Camara, Bent? If we had signed players because they were a bargain I would be a lot happier. Out of interest, who were you referencing when you made that observation? I can think of George Evans to fit the bill but besides that? Back to the OP, not good enough, not an improvement on what we have already, too old to fit the Frank mould of what he is building. Do the DET even watch us play or think about what might make sense before actually posting guff like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlsonDerby Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 A sort of low risk, cheap signing that previously someone in the championship would make, he'd have a storming season and then we'd spunk £8m on him. I believe we have insurance that covers wages when players are injured so if he's willing to agree reasonable terms then why not sign him? Worst case scenario we loan him out a few times/he's injured. Best case scenario, he stays fit and becomes the player he is capable of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheron85 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 He reminds me of Jamie Ward - Smart little player and absolutely fearless in the way he plays - But pretty sure Coleman reference this in the Sunderland documentary - Because he's skillful and doesn't hold anything back he gets kicked a lot and therefore picks up loads of injuries - Very like Ward used to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone claimed on here yesterday that a 1m sale was already in the bag. We'll see. Have to say though, I think he needed to do more at Coventry to be useful to us.

Millenniumram Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Absolutely not from me. Literally never fit, we’ve got enough problems like that with Forsyth and Thorne without adding more. League one club at best would be taking a risk on him, we can’t afford to, even if we do need centre mids and he’s available on a free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aww he definitely does! I kinda interpreted that as him being a confidence player with low self-esteem, if you get his head right (something I'd put money on Jody and Frank being able to do) then he'd be a great little player.

IlsonDerby Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 From January to May he managed over 20 appearances right? That’s nearly 50 apps over a full season. He said himself he wants to be playing week in week out somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs to add goals to his game but Coventry fans raved about him. Unless we get a substantial offer and it’s full of clauses then can’t see it happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
