Crispin LA Posted 1 January 2019 Posted 1 January 2019 So what are we going to do with him, someone suggested he'd be good for the last 10 minutes of a game the other day.
smr Posted 1 January 2019 Posted 1 January 2019 he has been awful, but then again he is a player who hasn't really been given a good run in the team, it could just be that he's really low on confidence, some of the basic mistakes he's made look like a player bereft of confidence anyway. Not sure how much actual talent and natural ability there is though. He did score a great goal against Fleetwood so obviously has something about him.
whoareyaaa Posted 1 January 2019 Posted 1 January 2019 Thought he showed good signs last week but wasn't impressed today
dnewty Posted 1 January 2019 Posted 1 January 2019 You can't give him a run in the team because when he plays like today he's terrible. This is one of the reasons Barnes is coming back for me.

Mark Posted 1 January 2019 Posted 1 January 2019 He's been bad all his career apart from one season at Lyon, we knew this before he signed with the youtube videos and Monaco fans reaction and claims he was the worst player in their league, it was a similar situation to when we signed Benalouane and he's still here picking up a wage.

Guest Col city fan Posted 1 January 2019 Posted 1 January 2019 I thought the game changed when we brought Albrighton on All energy, better crossing and chasing down defensively. Good sub that from Claude

A lot of us write vardy and mahrez off in their first seasons, I’m guilty on vardy, as he was so far out of his depth in his first season, which he admits, but look how he came on. Mendy in the summer was first on a lot on here’s bin list, now look. We have got to give the players a season to settle, not all have the class of Ricardo and look top class first season I've seen nothing in him to suggest he'll be a player for us, he's not quick, can't beat a man and isn't a great passer or deliverer of the ball which is not what you want in an attacking wide player. He's not good enough to command a regular spot and at 26 has little scope for improvement. He's a tidy enough player but that's not enough. He looks exactly the type of player I thought we had bought. One stand out season for Lyon a few years a go and still living off it. Why O why didn't we just get him on loan as a poor Monaco team were desperate to get rid of him and there were no other takers. He'll probably be here until the end of his contract and leave as a 30 year old having been no more than a squad player.

jayfox26 Posted 1 January 2019 Posted 1 January 2019 He didnt look great today but some our fans really don't help with the confidence of some or our players. One guy behind me at the game today shouted "**** off ghezzal you're shit" on top note when he gave the ball away. And then the small section that started chanting "marc Albrighton" when he made a mistake. Just like the booing when Iheancho came on against Cardiff, totally ridiculous and uncalled for. I dont see the point in slating our own players in the middle of the match. Anyone would think we were bottom of the league and about to be relegated!
ARM1968 Posted 1 January 2019 Posted 1 January 2019 Quite why we signed this talentless buffoon I have no idea. I got banned for pointing out just how shit he is - a bit relentlessly granted. But I was 100% correct.
jonny_wright Posted 1 January 2019 Posted 1 January 2019 Will see his contract out at this club in the reserves like benny, who’s gonna even take him on a free; been some terrible signings here but he could be the worst
g7fox Posted 1 January 2019 Posted 1 January 2019 Give the guy a break.. he plays for our Club.. give him your support!
Sunbury Fox Posted 1 January 2019 Posted 1 January 2019 His best performance was at home to Burnley when he played as a 10. I think we play him there or not at all. On the wing he is too one footed and one paced to make an impact.

I wonder if it was a last check for Puel to see if he should bring back Barnes or not.
SouthStandUpperTier Posted 1 January 2019 Posted 1 January 2019 I admit it's harsh to give up on him after just half a season. But he needs to start showing something, anything.
Guest Posted 1 January 2019 Posted 1 January 2019 All this Barnes talk will probably look pretty funny in a few weeks.
Hammo Posted 1 January 2019 Posted 1 January 2019 He has a decent left foot and a reasonably good touch but he is so wasteful with the ball it is unreal. Today he was utterly dreadful and to be honest I'm shocked he was picked given that he gave the ball away for Cardiff's goal on Saturday.
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 1 January 2019 Posted 1 January 2019 Took a punt and it hasn't paid off. Only real flop of Puel's recruitment so far. No biggie.

Jattdogg Posted 1 January 2019 Posted 1 January 2019 Never should have signed him to begin with. Im not hating on him but just didnt seem a good buy back then. Whilst he has a city top on i will support him but we need better quality simple.
