Personally I would have kept him (if we were desperate for cash then we’d have taken the Millwall and Bournemouth offers for Sibley and Lawrence), but if he was going, then under the circumstances we’ve probably done as well as we could have. If only the EFL weren’t front-bottoms and we’d have been able to extend his contract… Were we only able to give him one year? I can’t remember Loving the “if we were desperate for money .......” Gallows humour at its best! Edited February 2, 2022 by Gritstone Tup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 3 hours ago, Gritstone Tup said: But we now don’t have the £5million for this season or our best player imo for next. If we’d stated a price for Lawrence we probably would have got to our target imo No team on earth would pay us £4-5m for Lawrence in our position. Plange wouldn't be here next season regardless. Your thought process seemingly contains no logic. Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkFruitsRam7 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 7 hours ago, Gritstone Tup said: Correct! This sale is a killer for me, we should have been selling Lawrence who’s out of the door in the summer. Now we’ve let a greater younger striker go for peanuts. Can someone tell me why this is a good deal exactly? Plange is also out the door this summer, yet we’ve pocketed £1 million and get to keep him for the rest of the season.

The logic is we never put a price on anyone’s head therefore clubs have up trying to but players we refused to sell at any price. When some crap bid of £1million came in for Lawrence, our reply should have been no chance but £4million buys him. I’m sure quite a few clubs would have taken an interest.

Boycie Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Never celebrates much does he? Just stood there when Lawrence scored. I guess we’re all different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly put in a shift for his soon to be former club an impressive young man. TomG and Premier ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jram Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Impressive guy- was surprised Rooney didn’t give Stretton 15 minutes last night. For both their good TomG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they did last night when Luke was substituted. Indicative of the shift he put in as loan striker I think. Premier ram and Indyram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyMac5 Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 Blimey there's some overkill going on. He was alright, but until the last 10 minutes and that nutmeg that's all he was. Would have preferred to see Stretton given some game time. Chester40, Ravabeerbelly, Boycie and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I was an outlier with this one, but at least somebody agrees. As a lone (not loan) striker he gets the ball launched to him at times and he rarely wins anything, he's very much nuisance level. Its not his style obviously, but it's noticeable how much better CKR is at hold up play, getting free kicks, backing defenders into the corners and generally battering the opposition and getting under their skin. Plange has so far shown lovely flashes of skill, a few nice touches and link up play....and scored a couple of great goals, so I'm not saying I don't rate him. Will be very interesting to see how he develops. He is the kind of player teams like Arsenal often herald and look great but then never break through further. I'm glad he's here, and he could go on to be incredibly vital for us this season but I'm OK with him going ....Ebosele is a step above him as a prospect in my opinion.

MaltRam Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Showed good feet in tight areas at times yesterday and was very unlucky with the 'nearly' goal. Doesn't look a threat behind the defence though and doesn't yet get enough change out of his marker when we have to knock it up to him. Will be improving with every game though, and he's got goals in him if we can get him the service. DCFC1388 and angieram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premier ram Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 i feel Luke works his socks off every game , making intelligent runs and finding space , a lot of the time he is let down by his team mates final ball , would have loved him to stay with us and continue his development next season as he promises to be a very good player , hopefully we can get him back on loan for next season Rev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyMac5 Posted February 20, 2022 Author Share Posted February 20, 2022 He wouldn't have a starting place for me if there was an option. There isn't for Rooney. Did a bit better yesterday but c'mon it was P'boro. He's a youngster learning his trade, but I wasn't convinced. Maybe in 3 years time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Stretton needs to get some game time too, he’s our future at the moment, but he needs to up his game in the U23’s. RoyMac5 and TomG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure he is our future to be honest. If/when a takeover goes through and we are freed up to do proper business then I suspect he drops way back down the pecking order in pretty quick time.
