    Re: Aron Gunnarsson

    To anyone saying he’s not good enough, he absolutely is providing he’s played to his strengths. He’s the epitome of a Warnock player. Gutsy and gives his all. For the person thay said he hasn’t got that McPhail pass, that’s because he’s not a McPhail player. Peter Whittingham couldn’t tackle for shit, didn’t make him a bad player when he was played to his strengths.

    His loyalty is there but his commitment to his country is greater and we laud Bale for that exact same reason. He will still give us 100% as long as he’s with us.

    Maybe there’s better suitors for him and better players for us but I’d love to see him back in the team at the moment giving Ralls thay freedom.

    Well if he did have the killer pass that would be my only reason to bring him back other than injury to say Ralls as that is the only thing I think our midfield surely lacks ?

    This response resonates with me. If I were in Warnock's position I would say the kind words that need to be said to him, to reflect his effort, loyalty, personality and strengths that he brings. Explain that this is the offer I am prepared to make. If another club comes calling from the Premiership, or another club at the same level with a better offer, then he leaves with the blessing of the club and the big thanks and respect for all that he has done. With Warnock being the clever manager he is, he will not need to me to say that he will also have a scout scouring the market for a suitable and accessible target who is interested, lined up for an immediate move in the event that Aron turns the offer down, so that we are not caught unprepared.

    What does not need to happen to Aron is the accusation that he is greedy or undeserving. He is a human and a player - and a decent one at that who is free to negotiate as best rate he can. On the other side of the table the club has the right to offer what they think is suitable to the player. Hopefully they can meet in the middle, but perhaps they will not. Respect both ways if he does not stay, I hope.

    The club have shown him loyalty, paid him good wages and have rehabilitated him back to fitness.He then shoots off at the end of the season as a free agent. He could have signed a new contract at Christmas , then at least we could have got some kind of transfer fee for him, if he does decide to move on.

    Ledley did the same and he was bad mouthed.

    Indeed.

    He went off to an Icelandic friendly whilst injured - club had informed the Icelandic medical staff. Gets re-injured whilst playing when he wasn't fit for club games. Gets medical treatment at clubs expense which will then benefit his next club; as no transfer fee, he'll also get an increased signing on fee.

    We've managed without him and will continue to manage without him. Doesn't want to be here, c'est la vie.

    Difference is Ledley was supposed to be one of us.

    Supporters go on about McPhail and his killer pass! he certainly was never overall as good a midfielder as Gunners although very different as he couldn’t tackle! He never played for or captained his country and never played in the Premiership. Whitt’s was a similar player but much better than McPhail as he could score goals as well as give the killer pass?

    The McPhail - Chopra partnership was immense. McPhail also had the ability to calm playdown when needed.

    Gunners is good at what he does as a midfield dog getting stuck in. His passing is poor which would be exposed at higher levels.

    Mcphail made 78 premiership appearances and was a far better player than gunnar

    For sure, I like Gunnarson and hope he stays but would take Steve McPhail over him every time. Quality player.

    McPhail is very overrated by many of our supporters,played 190 games for us and scored a measly 3 goals compared to Gunners 23 goals from 235games. McPail had 10 International caps for Ireland, Gunners 76 for Iceland so far most as captain and people are saying McPail was a better player ffs!

    Iceland only got about 50 odd people to pick from ffs, how many goals were scored from mcphail's passes? Anyone who thinks gunnar is a better player than mcphail is off it imo
