Wasn't Joelinton at LCB or or some shit today? I missed the first half and start of the second. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Displayname Posted September 28, 2024 Share Posted September 28, 2024 It isnt about how big a chance it was, but what he did with it having all the time and space in the world. If he made a decent shot that the keeper saved noone would complain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love his aggression but it has to be disciplined aggression. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love to see more of Harvey just taking quick and early shots in positions where he’s near the goal, in the first half he tried to fizzle something across when he was approaching the 6 at the tight angle.

If you give away a few fouls, so be it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted October 1, 2024 Share Posted October 1, 2024 Apparently we want to renew his contract. Unless the wage is low. I would let him go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t normally criticise the players when in the stands but after he did that I couldn’t stop myself shouting out loud “what the fuck are you doing man” I'd forgotten about that Never felt so angry at him, since the last game.

Is it not worth it just to sell for a fee instead losing for a free? What would you say is low? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 1, 2024 Share Posted October 1, 2024 I don't rate him, certainly not as a starter, but I would be happy to keep him around as a squad option and/or sell him for a fee to fund a replacement. Any sale is pure profit as well, isn't it? So letting him go for free has an opportunity cost there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 1, 2024 Share Posted October 1, 2024 (edited) FWIW I'm not convinced we would be able to sell him for any significant money either way, but it's worth a try. Even getting 15m from a promoted club would be a decent profit. Edited October 1, 2024 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everton or a Leeds would be interested There would definitely be clubs who would buy him as long as he fit within their wage structure. This is where we have to be careful with offering a new contract, because if he goes on a wage that only top clubs will pay, we won't be able to sell him. Just look at how we can't shift the likes of Almiron or Targett as examples of this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted October 1, 2024 Share Posted October 1, 2024 I'd like to think the club have learned the lesson of just extending a player's contract because it's either a) too much hassle to properly scout a better replacement and/or b) he's a canny lad so let's just keep him around. Seen it happen to Hayden and Gayle albeit under the previous regime. People will dispute what Longstaff offers these days, I'm firmly on the side of 'nowhere near enough'. I couldn't justify extending him and I'd take the best offer for him and look for his replacement tomorrow. It's harsh but I think the club needs to improve and I honestly don't see Longstaff being a part of that. I'd love him to be great but he just isn't Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And two, we extended those people purely so we didn't need to sign anyone, this regime is not going to be doing things like that.

If he'd switched shirts at Ht and come out wearing a blue one then I'd be astonished if any of our fans would have realised. We've got to be aiming a bit higher. Surely??
