i-Ram Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I’m not convinced Bird will find it easy in L1. However, I think he is by some distance already the best player we have got and he has a lot of upside potential in years to come. I would be extremely disappointed if he went elsewhere yet awhile. r_wilcockson, sage, Comrade 86 and 6 others 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sublet and Knight don’t really play in the same position. Bielik and Thomas do. If we never sell anyone we won’t generate funds to reinvest. So that’s why I say at the right price.

Kinder Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I’d be gutted if we sold Bird. I rate him above Knight and I’m a big fan of Jason Knight. If Bird could add a few more goals he’d be Prem quality for me. Really hope we can hold on to him, but if not we have to get a sensible fee.

Bird reminds me of Michael Carrick. Comfortable on the ball, un-flashy, rotates possession. Just does everything very simply and gets around the pitch without attracting attention, players all rate him and managers pick him. But.....have to admit I never really cared for Carrick either. Similarly Max hasnt got tons of assists or goals, no crunching tackles, some classy touches but never really gets me out of my seat with lung busting Knight runs or flashes of passion like Sibley or looks like a mature Rolls Royce of a player like Bielik. Perverse as it sounds, I know he's decent and everyone rates him...but I just cant get that excited about him and I can't pretend if he goes that I will mind. Quite prepared to agree he's a great player - that seems to be accepted collective opinion, but from where we have been over the last few months to now - I'm happy to accept if we sell him its for the greater good.

He’s very good positionally, protecting the back four and covering for those who go on runs from midfield. Trouble is, we don’t have many who make those runs. Our midfield tends to play it safe. Max is a good passer and possession is important. One of those that only truly gets appreciated when they’re not there. However, we do need a different mix in midfield and somebody has to go if we’re to change things. BramcoteRam84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBRammette Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Hopefully some thinking they would leave may be swayed by the positive signings and vibe so far. Assume players knew who was likely going particularly if on holiday with them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee SCREAMER !! Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Not an ITK kind of person normally, or don't say ought, but I know that our previous manager is keen to match any bids on this one. Might go to the fizzy pop league for the dollars I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope Max doesn't go anywhere, he's always expressed a want to play at the highest level he can so don't really see him going to America at his age.

StaffsRam Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 WTF would Bird even entertain the notion of going to MLS? No disrespect but MLS is on a par with the SPL except without Rangers or Celtic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Rooney comes back here and tries to take players off us knowing the situation he left us in then he isn't really the bloke we thought he was.
