BoneDog Posted 18 January 2013 Share Posted 18 January 2013 If he comes back it'll be because he isn't good enough for them, I don't see how that will inspire him. But the fact that Utd have decided to have a closer look at him would surely give him some sort of a confidence boost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corky Posted 18 January 2013 Share Posted 18 January 2013 We need Schlupp in the squad, Konchesky concerned me greatly tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxesfan1989 Posted 18 January 2013 Share Posted 18 January 2013 So Nigel has said its not a loan, its not a trial, its just a week of training with them. If anything comes of it "so be it", if not he will most likely loan him out to improve him for the long term. My guess is that it IS a trial, but nothing will come of it...surely?

wakeyfox01 Posted 18 January 2013 Share Posted 18 January 2013 Konchesky got better as the game wore on tonight. Put in a great ball for Wood who hit the post and made several important interceptions and challenges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiritwalker Posted 18 January 2013 Share Posted 18 January 2013 Would be gutted to lose him - looks such a prospect. Can see him being a top Prem left back in a few years, and it's not even his preferred position. Agree with this, Jeff has the ability to become a decent Div 1 or Champ striker but I think L.back is his best position and he couldbecome a top class Prem player.

MC Prussian Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 I'm absolutely stoked for the lad. Here's a youth player whom we've developed and who's made it into the first team and he gets a trial with bloody Manchester United. Up until now, it's usually been us in the role of having to take others on trial to see if they're worth to be added to the squad. No doubt this will give Schlupp a heavy boost in confidence. It'll increase his market value, his name will be put on the map. Nevermind him being picked up by Manchester United or not, it's a win-win-win situation. Good luck to you, Jeff. You deserve it.

Simmo86 Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 Still think he should be starting Konch looks like a mistake waiting to happen at times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 Still think he should be starting Konch looks like a mistake waiting to happen at times I love Schlupp and hope he starts for us and stays with us for life but Konch is a wily old veteran with great skills. Every fullback gets skinned occasionally - you are always on a loser being a full back. You're exposed if you have no cover. But more often than not Konch makes the intelligent tackle, makes the necessary foul and he is incredible at getting forward and linking with whichever winger is in front of him as well as putting in pin point crosses. He may not have the legs to play Prem football next year but he's a top level championship defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just starting to worry about him a little, seems to be making silly decisions which are catching him out. Just hope it doesn't end up costing us some vital points.

Guest Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 It's sure that he'll make an occasional error that will cost us goals. That's the same for every full back and every defender - even Wes! It's a team game. Someone needs to cover whether that's a defender , midefielder or attacker - that's about the system. Furthermore if he is the cause of a goal then it's up to the attackers to score an extra goal. You have to admit that going forward he is far more intelligent than most full backs in our league and very precise with his passes. I hope that Jeff is watching and learning from him.

Back 4 has nice balance of 2 young bucks (RDL & keane) and 2 more wily campaigners. Moore & jeff are great back ups and show why we've probably got the best squad in the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mack Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 few points. Konchesky is not old, he's 31. I also fail to see what people have against him. He would walk into all the other Championship sides and half of the Premier League ones also. He gets up and back, is an asset both in attack in defence and I can only assume that those who have a pop at him are just hunting for a new scapegoat now Wellens is way off the scene.

Well now that Gllagher isn't playing, nor Wellens then someone has to take over as the 'hate figure'. Konch is a class act for me, and he and Morgan offer much needed experience which will be vital during the run in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merging Cultures Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 If he comes back it'll be because he isn't good enough for them, I don't see how that will inspire him. To be brutally honest, he probably knows he isn't in with much of a shout anyway and probably isn't expecting to make it. But it is still flattering I'd imagine to get a trial and get to hangout with some of the big boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxoffderby Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 I think the boy should be playing left wing. Hes played left back and striker, seems to me we have a the eventual replacement for Dyer. Good luck to him if he gets his big move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
