He is not in the same league as Moore, so at best would be a sub
He is a big guy, so is quite slow so he can't be a wide or inside forward
He hasn't the touch or vision for a 10
He first touch is poor so can't be a central midfielder
We don't fancy him at right back because we gambled on a loanee and played a CM last season instead of him.
For all those who scoff at the fee I would imagine it was out there he was available for around half a million and his salary is a million a season, who wants him. I don't see any auction or many takers.
He is a fans hero,but i do wonder what he must be like to work with. That incident with Bacuna was ugly. Interesting one is staying and one is not.
Just goes to prove how bad the Glatzel deal was as he was the starter and is only worth £500K in the open market

I think he is much better than Glatzel, but i think i am better than Glatzel and am 52 and four stone overweight.
We are painfully slow and ineffective out wide, so he can't go there.
With Moore as a genuine 9 his skillset is not required down the middle.
I think he lost pace after the last injury.
I think at another club his destiny would have been different. I always though he'd end up as a centre half.
As soon as we bought Moore and couldn't get rid of Glatzel without losing millions, this was the only outcome.
We need a fast wide man or a 10, hopefully this is part of that recruitment

Does anyone really think that he wouldn’t grab at the chance to sell if it was there?
It’s easy for us on the outside to say he should sell to the next person who comes along (has anyone?) but he’s a businessman ffs and he’s put a lot of ££ into the club; he’s not going to let it go for nothing.
Personally I’d rather be afloat with a poor side than have a good side that HAS to be promoted or else (Derby watch this space).

I guess as he was our big summer signing for £5.5 million he'd be on even more than Paterson.... Knowing that, even if we gave him away for free, who in their right mind would take him. Its going to cost us a lot to move him on....
Poor Paterson has to go. We are also going to need to take a haircut on Flint as the only other alternative is to sell Morrison

Get the wages off the bill and look to add someone else
People need to understand our wage bill is still way to high, parachute patents are reduced due to covid and the club has next to no other income this season matchday money is still vital in the championship less so than league one and two of course but the club needs to seriously cost cut staying in the championship and reducing costs will be all th board is interested in this year
