Haven't seen the sending off from yesterday, but overall I would like to see him here next season, of course that depends if he wants to be here.



The reason i include Chambers is he was our big name signing, The "Arsenal way" loads of technical ability and know-how. Bulut's boring controlled football through our ball-playing centre halfs launching attacks but strangling the life out of the game, but winning. The main problem is we found out he is not a centre half, well not a championship level.

The move into DCM went well, that's his position, but adding a very defensive of defensive midfielder into an extremely uncreative, slow, limited midfield and attack; with full backs designed to tuck in rather than attacking, killed any creativity. It wasn't the game plan!!

I am being unfair on Chambers. If you want a shield for your back four at championship level, he can do that, so his agent will get a few calls. If he stays, great, but we need attacking fullbacks and legs in front of him, which he'll get in King, Robertson and Colwill (J).
He is a better defender than Wintle but not so sure he is near his passing ability. I mentioned that because they will be big earners.

I like Robinson, very skillful and will score a fair share of goals.
But, his injury record is poor.
We need players who will battle on through the regular 'knocks' without putting their feet up in mid season for a month here and there!

He's been a good servant, but we need to bring in some cash. If we get a couple of million and can move him out rather than Salech, then we should be open to offers. Let's be honest, we have very little we could sell currently in this squad, but he has pedigree of some sorts and may get a mediocre championship team 10+ goals for not much money.


I agree on the Robinson point but we have plenty of players that would generate a fee:

Robinson
Ng
Rinomhota
Robertson
R Colwill
Ashford
Davies
Fish
Salech
Turnbull
O’Dowda

They would all generate fees. They may have underperformed in a poorly managed team but they would still generate money if we were to cash in.
