Gimme Shelton Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 The time he has been on the pitch he's shown nothing to show he should! A good physique but afraid of a tackle and no confidence to take anyone on.

Supersonic Robin Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 (edited) In fairness, I don't mind the Mebude signing. A young player with a good CV in youth football, who we brought in to have a look at. If it doesn't work out, we simply don't activate the option to buy and cut our (very small) losses. If it does work out, we may have unearthed an absolute gem to sign on a permenant at a discount price. I can at least see the logic behind the decision to bring him in on loan. Granted, it doesn't seem to be working out for him here, but it was a low-risk high-reward punt. I think the Twine signing seemed much less sensibile. We knew we were going nowhere this season. We knew we almost certainly won't be able to sign him on a permenant this summer. So why waste the money on bringing him in for a few months?

We knew we almost certainly won't be able to sign him on a permenant this summer. So why waste the money on bringing him in for a few months? The only thing I can think is he wanted to play with a genuine 10 and Twine was the only one he could get for now. Of course if he couldn't find one we could afford or was available in Jan, who's to say he would be in the summer. We ain't signing Twine for £5m that's for sure. We would want to make sure any players coming in would be wanted by the next Manager, due in around September next year * Date's can be changed if the Chairman finds a backbone. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like £1.25m…but that’s not the point. The bloke has done well for coming back from a serious injury. He’s now hitting that brick wall that often happens having had so long out.

Mattredrobin Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I feel his lack of games could be manning protecting him. If we are losing games it makes sense to bring him on the try and make things happen, sadly atm if he brings him on and doesn't do that then fans will be on his back straight away.

Thats the same Liam Manning who has been playing a patently unfit Cameron Pring and had Scott Twine on the bench when he wasn’t fit in case he got a free kick. It’s also the same Liam Manning who is throwing players under the bus weekly while stating what a great job the coaching team are doing.

38MC Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 (edited) I think all that’s being highlighted is the gulf in class between the Belgium domestic league and u-21 football even at international level. No-one dislikes him or wants his career to fail, but he wasn’t up to scratch for the championship when he came. That’s all. if he does perform elsewhere, good on him. If he fulfils his potential, great. But for the period we had him we wasn’t what we needed. Edited September 6 by 38MC 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 I really hope it works out for him, somewhere. There is a talent there. Despite the Man City connections, he always looked on the periphery and lacking in confidence when looking at the Robins uncut training videos. Its almost as though he got stage fright when on the match day pitch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
