This is maybe why he's done well at LWB, as he's always facing goal and running from deep. jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is insistant that he doesnt want to play there , time to move on . There are lots of examples of players who find that their best positions are not the ones they originally played . Of course all the contract negotiations may have nothing to do with the above . I hope you are right and he makes that position his own. Wing back roles are vital and often end up been that extra attacker who get the space. Gvardiol's recent form at City a case in point. Our best run of form last season was Sibley at LB and this season he was mostly there as we kept on winning to get promoted. I'm pretty happy with our multiple options across the back 5, don't really think we need to strengthen there. Macintosh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Cashin or Nelson got injured it all suddenly looks a lot less solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In an ideal world yes, but midfielders and forwards much more vital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarterForTen Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 I will preemptively apologise if this turns out to be utter bollards but an old journalist colleague has messaged me to say Sibley is on Sheffield United’s radar. His opening line was: “Is Sibley better than Lowe?” so perhaps they are thinking of him as an attacking left back option. Andrew3000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard Sheff Utd are signing Burrows from P’Boro, so I can’t see them being after Sibley as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way they get Burrows. They're up the creek financially with the owners desperately trying to sell them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burrows is on a free and presumably less wages than Lowe. Can't see him being beyond their reach. Also parachute payments. Sibley is a utility player, wouldn't assume just because they are signing a left back it in anyway precludes him from joining too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burrows is under contract for another season. Even if he was 'free' this summer, he would have cost a significant compensation fee.

oomarkwright Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 For Sibley himself it's probably better for him to leave IMO. Rotherham is a surprise but whenever he goes I hope he gets to play in the position he thinks he's best at or at least the new manager would understand that. Perhaps £1-200k if we have matched his previous contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t make any sense not to. Even if Warne didn’t want him you would match his current contract, then say you’re backup at best. As a player at Sibley’s age and experience you would assume he’ll go elsewhere, then we get the compensation.
