CTRed Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Anyone have any news on him? Hasn’t been seen or mentioned on anything so far from what I’ve seen this preseason. Hopefully he’s alright and getting better but would be nice to have some sort of update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Have we seen Vyner or Wells on any videos yet? Or were they given longer off? I know Knight, McCrorie and Conway were. Sykes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I read somewhere that Nahki had been given some extra time off for personal reasons….. Think it’s fair to say that Zak isn’t back due his international call-up… As for Kal - can’t still be injured……surely? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well on and off, and that seems to be the issue if he tries to return before it's 100%, I agree it's not ideal, but at what point do the club try to cut their losses and pay him off and would he take that deal?

It's never as straightforward as fans think. Yes, my comment was slightly facetious comment to be honest. However, we are getting zero contribution from him and he's one of our top wage earners (I suspect). I also suspect that, without that wage, we would've been able to sign one of the attacking targets we've missed out on. And seeing as our defensive options are fine without him and our attacking options need to be upgraded, I'm of the opinion that the sooner he leaves the better. But like you say, that's easier said than done. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t dislodge Vyner or Dickie for him. I’d probably have Atkinson ahead of him aswell. Can’t see him being used as a midfielder either. Very much squad cover now - expect this to be his last season here 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't understand what Kal offers. He's on decent wages and when he was available for selection he made numerous errors that led to goals. When Nige signed him, it can only have been to have played in a back 3. He isn't mobile or physical enough to play in a back 4. His career path has been strange to say the least, and his one decent season at Luton clouds peoples judgement. He is way behind Dickie, Vyner and Atkinson at centre back and if we get the chance to move him on, i would take it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Slagging off a player who’s had a tough time with injury is very unfair.He’s shown in the few matches that he’s played what a decent player/defender he can be. No updates on his availability during the close season means nothing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SydneyCity Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 I think Kal will be an important part of the squad this season. He’s a very intelligent footballer, and a leader - two things needed in a Manning team. He also strikes me as one of Nigel’s model senior pros - brought in because they are still hungry and can contribute on the pitch, but also actively looking to improve the young guys coming through. If I’m wrong, and he remains injured, I’m looking forward to more of the most honest commentary I’ve ever heard on Robins TV 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity1987 Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 I like Naismith's attitude. He's incredibly motivated to be a PL player and he set a massive store on us being successful last season for that reason. I have a feeling he will be somewhat less motivated this season as he might not get a new contract particularly if we are promoted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 I'd actually forgotten all about him. I guess you could ask the question as we have 'managed' without him do we even need him, where does he fit in? However we have lost a lot of experience, James, Weimann etc we need a few older heads to guide so many young players perhaps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nugget Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 (edited) Prefer him in midfield, in defence he seems to have that mistake in him but did seem to improve us when he played. Could be an experienced head around the club at least. Wasn’t he classed as a utility player!? Sure he’s played up front too. Reckon he’s got the vision to play 10, but these injuries keep coming.
