Deuce Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Will probably fetch a decent fee for him on the back of his performances second half of the season even if it is known he wants to leave. Will need to be replaced though..... Hayden, Shelvey, and Diane could all be gone this summer. Primed for Happy Jack to make his triumphant return.

If Rafa goes, I guess there's a chance Wearside Jack returns. Horror. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Colback's out of contract he'll not be back thankfully Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Probably our best player yesterday I thought, especially in the first half he was winning the ball back often. Certainly deserves his place in the 11, miles ahead of the other 3 on current form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 IIRC Forest has an option to buy at the end of his loan, which wouldn’t make sense if his contract was expiring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 We gave colback a 6 year contract. Absolutely embarrassing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny1403 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 If you add in Saivet we've actually got 7 senior CMs on the books. Two of which have no future here, one wants to leave, one is out of contract in the summer and questions over the future of Shelvey. A lot of work to do in the summer...

Conjo Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 If we somehow manage to get rid of Colback and Saivet in addition to Hayden and Diame leaving it would be a good opportunity to replace those 4 with 2 more eligble players and still have decent cover in central midfield. It would still probably need to be at a net cost so doubt it'll happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Offers nothing going forward or creatively. Average at best. Fair play coming in and not playing shite, but we need much better in there than what he gives or rather doesn’t give. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinitely Content Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 He was excellent tonight, it would be nice to keep him here but in a way I'm not too concerned if he does depart. If you look back to last season, Diame & Shelvey seemed so key to us and the loss of that partnership would have worried us all massively. This season the pair of them have featured less with the emergence of Hayden & Longstaff who now seem invaluable. It leads me to believe Rafa is just very good at getting his midfield pairing working together effectively in this system, and would trust going forward into next season (if he's here) that we will remain strong in the that area whether it's with him identifying a new addition or continuing to use 2 of the existing 5.

xLiaaamx Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 He's doing well but the problem is his game is running around a lot and those types of midfielder are a dime a dozen. He's not irreplaceable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s an average midfielder on a good run of form. Similar to Diame last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
