Jonezy Posted 10 June 2017 Share Posted 10 June 2017 I hope he has just been injury plagued, but so far he seems to only offer what Andy King already do, and I would rather keep Kingy around then Mendy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it seems we could make about a million on Musa. That's also very close to your one third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think a loan deal is probably the best chance of offloading him next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurru991 Posted 12 June 2017 Share Posted 12 June 2017 We need to give Mendy a chance. He came here very highly rated but has been injured pretty much the whole time he's been here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just not us. We need Athletic central midfielders. If we changed to 4-3-3 or 4-1-2-1-2 then he could play as a DM but I'm not sure he will be able to play the box to box role we need in a CM.

Don't see him as a starter, more as a sub to help protect a lead. I think he could be a useful squad player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King has improved, and doesn't give the ball away, but that's normally down to taking little risk. He will stay at the club, but is only backup. I agree, top half Championship club, but can't help but like him... Never whinges/sulks online and always back the team, whether he's playing or not.

I'd let King and Mendy go. Then from our remaining players I'd line up in m/f with Chilwell Lawrence NDiddi Albrighton That would be a decently strong midfield both defensively and going forward. Then we'd have DD and James as back up plus Barnes etc. If we do sign Gylfi then that will make us even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume he's on £40k p/w, maybe more. He may just be happy sitting on the bench earning his pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think Shakey has to show his leadership here, Sit King down for a good chat and let him know he should look for a move elsewhere. There's nothing to stop him coming back after his career is over as a Coach or groomed to take over from the Birch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the perfect player to bring in when he have injuries. James was half decent in the Championship but I've no idea if he Premiership standard and Barnes needs a season on loan to a Championship club. Drinkwater, N'Didi,and a new transfer that puts pressure on both of those (ideally better) with King or Mendy as back-up. I am looking forward to seeing Gray, Chillwell and Lawrenceall progress next season. Ndidi is also a young lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clever Fox Posted 12 June 2017 Share Posted 12 June 2017 Yes we know he's a good Clubman but here's the reality. Any player who is not good enough to start is not good enough to bring in for injuries. The Club has moved on it's time for King to do the same. He's clearly not going to hold down a regular place. James was our one Premiership player when we were in the Championship. He won't have lost his Footballing Brain the only question is if he's lost any pace. But we won't know until he get's games. My guess is he'll be ok and keep DD out of the Team if given a few games. I think Chilwell, NDiddi , Lawrence, Gray, Barnes and even Kaputska looks very good for us for years to come. Ndidi aside the choice is to continue to nurse them for another year or to blood them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens all the time, especially when new Managers come into Clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In King's defence every club needs a few players who are seasoned pros but are relatively happy to not start every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
