No disrespect but MLS is on a par with the SPL except without Rangers or Celtic. There are some very decent players over there just like in the SPL and the support for the teams is growing massively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I’d say that the Championship would still be a better option for him and I can’t imagine there wouldn’t be teams who’d be happy to take him if available. Failing that, a move to one of the European leagues like Buchanan engineered for himself. Either way, a young British player moving to MLS just seems like a backward step to me…. ?♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brady1993 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Of all the players I'd fight to keep it would be Bird. If not only because he's but because he's way better than we are currently paying and I've a feeling his transfer value has a decent room to grow especially if he plays in a functional team/club. sage, Rev, NottsRam77 and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I think he's one of those where his work goes unnoticed. These types of players are great for pretentious football fans who like to act like they have a greater understanding than anyone else. The ones that tell you that you clearly never played the game and understand the levels ? He does things you are too stupid to notice etc etc. I actually like him, but I think at this level, we have to accept players have ambitions of greater things and everyone has a price. I just hope we start getting decent fees in the future for players. Chester40 and Westcumbrianram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't the bloke we thought he was, even without him stealing our players (or analyst). Curtis Davies found out he had walked away from his job via a text message whilst live on Sky or Talksport. Not the best way to treat a player that played every minute of every game and very nearly carried the team to survival (Davies not Rooney).

Scott129 Posted July 15, 2022 Author Share Posted July 15, 2022 Coventry City have Derby County midfield duo Max Bird and Louie Sibley on their radar but are not actively pursuing the pair at this stage of the transfer window. CoventryLive understands that while both players are very much known to City’s recruitment department, they come into the contingency plan category in case the Sky Blues lose key players this summer. https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/transfer-news/coventry-transfers-derby-bird-sibley-24488672 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
