He hasn't played on the right since his MK Don's loan. The few times he's started on the right for us he's been pulled off at half time. His position is on the left, thats where he's comfortable and given he's been our best player since the turn of the year there's no reason to mess with that. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is it that when we deal with them, they are so unreasonable? Youd think given his form and them possibly moving to the prem they’d realise they could get more than that for him. I think I’d be thinking 15m was a decent bit of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was agreed last summer though, perhaps Sporting thought he wouldn't light up the league as he has and were happy enough to see a decent chunk of cash for someone who'd at the time had a pretty unremarkable stint in Lisbon? I dare say they're hoping WBA don't / can't take up the option to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they could get more cash why wouldnt they take advantage of the situation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably need the near-guaranteed income due to this whole situation I’d imagine. If they really need the money, I’m sure they’d rather ‘secure’ £8.5m (if WBA get promoted, I assume) than mess them about and risk getting nothing for a while when they need it now, or at least as soon as possible. But I suppose they could just be doing it out the kindness of their hearts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had had a bit of a bad run and Benrama came on as sub as I think been injured. My one reservation was he didn't seem very quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benrahma looks like pace is the weakness too, that's one of the reasons why i'd look elsewhere and especially because he plays wide left and cuts in which Barnes has that position sewn up and RW is far more the priority for us.

Does it mean slow because it gets stuck to the shovel when trying to roll off? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
