NML. Still without a club?

No thank you

No thank you

We cancelled his contract, It's not an option anyway. I've never seen a player where the fans and the player had no idea what was going to happen when he was in possession. He was like Frank Spencer with a ball at his feet and had the touch of a jagged rock.

Yup, head down and locked into "I'm going to do my own thing" mode.
Not a team player, and as you said - an awful first touch!
However, In full-stride with space in front of him, he could be devastating (perhaps 'devastating is too strong a word, but certainly very effective).

Too creative for us.

We are in the process of culling any creativity this squad has and filling the gaps with cut price kids. It goes right against that plan.

I don't understand this post.

13 goals and 10 assists in his time here.

In 87 games.

I am saying he is too much of a flair player. All of our flair players are either crocked or loaned out. Our manager is not a fan of the luxury player and is happy to see players like Murphy and Whyte on loan at other clubs and persist with his brand of footballing dambusters.

I am saying that it would be another wage when we seem to be loaning out anything but the bare bones to save as much as possible. We would prefer to put a cheap kid in his place and model it as giving youth a chance when it is nothing more than a cost cutting measure and playing them out of necessity because our squad is threadbare.

He's a hit and run player

Flair would be a hard sell.

I liked him in patches, but he wasn't flair or creative.

I mean flair as in he tries to beat a man, doesn't lump it straight forward, doesn't track back.

We have no wingers and have loaned out Whyte and Murphy. That shows anybody how high wingers are on the clubs list of priorities.

Knocking the ball 10 yards ahead of yourself and chasing after it isn't flair mate. He had a touch like an elephant and literally knocked the ball forward to chase it.

It's too much flair for Mick.

Mick is more a 'Ave It type of bloke.

We get your point.

Re: NML. Still without a club?

the lower league game needs more like him, yes his only trick was the knock ball past player and beat said player, but when attacking it was exciting, when it worked you were up on your feet roaring him on

It was exciting at times.

I'm just saying I don't think it qualified as flair.

Re: NML. Still without a club?

He was strong, quick and had a decent shot on him, but he wasn't what I'd call intelligent or skillful. Not sure you can put your chips in with NML and moan about lack of skill in our style of play.

Warnock's best football here was with him in the side though whether that was with Hoilett and Zohore or the Premier League days at Brighton or Man United but those moments were far too rare.

Hope he gets back on his feet and then does work to help others.
