It's almost as if we are in danger of getting into a muddle.

I'm sure LM has more clarity and nous than the last manager who had a lot of options here but...we shall see.

I think the more options LM has available to him the more muddled his thinking will become.

I’d have Sykes in the team all day long over Mehmeti on the right hand side.

For me Sykes is quicker and more direct, he’s scored more goals and I’d imagine probably has more assists although one of our statisticians could probably confirm that.

He has shown that he can come in in his left foot and score but he also has the ability to go down the line and cross.

Mehmeti even when he’s on the left often comes back inside onto his right foot to cross.

plus I think Sykes helps the team more defensively also.

I don’t dislike Mehmeti but I don’t think he gives as much as Sykes

So would i

Mehmeti is far to much of a headless chicken at times

 

Saying that, could be his season to show

And  so we face the final curtain 
My friend, I'll say it clear 
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain 
I've read a thread that's full 
I traveled each and every Conway
And more, much more than 99
 We did it Conway

Pages, we’ve had a few 
But then again, too few to mention 
We did what we had to do 
And saw it through without exemption 
We planned each charted page
Each careless step along the Conway 
And more, much more than this 

we did it Conway

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew 
When we posted a bit more than we could chew 
But through it all, when there was doubt 
We  read it in and spat it out 

We faced it all, and we stood tall 
And did it Conway

We’ve hated, laughed and cried 

We’ve had our fill, our share of losing 
And now, as page 99 subsides
I find it all so amusing 
To think we did all that 
And may I say, not in a shy way 
Oh, no, oh, no, not me 
They did it Conway

For what is  Manning what has he got? 
If not the Twine then he has naught 
To say the things he truly feels 
And not the words of one who kneels in front of Lansdown
And did it his way

Yes, it was Conway

Mehmeti has to improve his output. I doubt anyone questions his skill but his passing, when he actually passes the ball, is all too often found wanting. Sykes doesn't have his skill set but his passing is better, is more direct and, to this point, is a better finisher.

How did you get to the £5-8m valuation? 

It was the standard valuation that was being kicked around in January; I think it's fair as well, considering other similar players have left this division for more.  He's still young and still on an upward curve with lots of potential; he's a snip at £3.5m if that's the fee he goes for.

It is a different approach this one in a way.

A year ago Scott until he got injured..or was it injured played frequently in pre-season.

He wasn't for signing a new deal either. Is it the 1 year v 2 year thing?

I think it's just our shear desperation to sell. 

It would be like me or you having to sell our car because we were desperate for money and writing in the advert that we are desperate for money. What that does is attract low offers from people trying to chance their luck at getting a bargain. 

With the approach we've taken with Conway we have devalued him further. Probably to the tune of a couple of Mebudes.

Well judging by the fact that he didn't play until November we know he was injured, and in fact was more injured than our medical team realised.

Well yes but you never know. Putting aside wherher it was a strategic pivot which it seems not to have been, the two seem to have been approached differently.

October, so maybe not quite as “more injured”!

The fact he only has a year on his contract has devalued him  most clubs in our position are desperate to sell a asset that's maybe worth 5m rather than getting next to nothing in a years time, city being desperate to move on now will not be any surprise to other clubs, who themselves would do the same.

In GhostRiders warped reasoning Google and every other search engine is just as culpable.

I don't watch it often by any stretch, Dilks in particular seemed to have a strong dislike for Pearson for whatever reason.

I suppose anyone can start a podcast . Doesn’t mean to say they know what they’re talking about. They don’t do any research imo just opinions based on nothing . Especially Dilks

One of the biggest weirdos that’s been on this forum.

In the same thread he got banned for, he also posted a gushing biography of Jon Lansdown which was the type of info you’d only really know if it was someone your friends with…or just really creepy. 
 

Either way, thank **** he’s gone.

Why do all the annoying weirdos think that GDPR is some kind of magical trump card they have to hit the forum with when they get banned or leave. This is the second or third time in the last year or two. Very odd.

Another winger?

Sykes, Yu

Bell, Mehmeti

Can Benarous not play wider?

We may or may not play with a back 3 ie wingbacks.

Bell and Sykes (not convinced longer term they are what we need for top six). Bell has one last chance this season to prove he can develop at this level.

There are very clear rules on what needs to be done with banned user data. However, I’d imagine that this is done automatically on here.

I'd barely noticed him until a few months ago when he tried to turn himself into some sort of Main Character on here, constantly having a pop at Davefevs about spreadsheets etc and generally looking to be argumentative whenever possible.

All very odd.

GDPR rules are a total pain Nick. It's not just about sharing personal data anymore, it now covers if the person has given confirmation of the sharing of their data which includes 'personal opinions'.

It's a legal minefield, waiting to explode tbh.

Same things over and over again. It truly is like groundhog day visiting this thread. Be interesting to see the stats re which posters have the highest input saying the same things. I'm pretty sure I know anyway.

It reminds me of one of Winston Churchill’s speeches:

 Never in the field of human history as so much has been said about so little by so few
