Dr Jinx Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 He looks like he’s getting back to the player he was under Rafa, the manager will get more from him next season hopefully so a good move for both club and player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I look at him as a potential Darren Fletcher type for Man United. He probably not going to start for us regularly but will also probably get 20+ games, even moreso if we have ambitions of Europe. I also think he will get better as he gets older and more experienced. He seems like one of the key characters in the squad now too, which is strange because a year or so ago he seemed like one of the kids. He's had his bumps in the road, let's hope Eddie can keep him on the straight and narrow. I reckon he would be a target for a lot of lower mid table PL clubs, if he were to be available to buy.

greydos Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 He can be our Henderson in a few years time. Keep head down and learn from Eddie. Set the standards of professionalism. And you can bring energy to a steamboat midfield of cultures Brazilians Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Giving him a new contract was a solid move. If he continues to improve and grow in confidence, he'll be a solid squad option, if not or he wants more game time down the road, we can move him on for a few quid.

Minhosa Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 What do we reckon he's now a week? I'd have a guess at £60k with these owners....any other offers? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Fair play to him. Still think he lacks the mobility to be a top Premier League player but he’s shown that he can do a job again recently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a capable squad PL midfielder in there for me even if it’s not with us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 He's got weird mobility in that he covers an insane amount of the pitch and he's faster than he appears. Some of his passing is really good and when he does actually properly connect with a shot he's got a fucking cannon right foot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Passing stats are horrifying (as are most of his others outside of tackling), but he's looked notably better on the ball the past couple of games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Love the idea of keeping a homegrown player and giving him a chance in a proper setup. Whether he makes or not I have no idea, but ideally he becomes a good squad player and plays more and more because we have Conference or Europe games.

toon25 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 A good move. He's been getting minutes and has improved his performances massively in a very short space of time. An easy decision really Dummett's new contract on the other hand just seemed unnecessary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 (edited) Eddie wants him to stay, that's good enough for me like. We've already seen how Eddie can improve players, he can't perform miracles but I've no doubt Sean will improve year on year now.

I don't think he's ever going to pull up any trees tbh, but he's a good solid player with a decent engine. He's probably worth the contract just as a squad player.

Ste Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Sensible. Howe looks like he’s started the process of rewinding 2 seasons worth of Brucey bullshit out of the lad, he’ll be a decent, dependable option for us. Helps towards homegrown quota for them filthy European competitions we’ve spent 14 years trying to avoid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
