Uche

Re: Uche

I'd be very surprised if Morison doesn't call him out on the two chances he had to lay the ball off. I'd assume the squad would watch the game together on Mondays these days no?

Re: Uche

He was a free - presumably intended to be backup for Kieffer Moore, we've had a lot worse signings, but I don't rate him, and it seems the manager doesn't either.

A free yes but it’s still a wage for two years. We are
probably going to have to pay off part contract if we are to cut our losses in summer because I don’t see him getting another championship move.

You would hope he would speak to him to explain how selfish he was I’m talking about lambasting him in public which he has done to others.

Maybe's reached the conclusion that two wrongs don't make a right.

I hope so, I want to be able to like a Cardiff city manager for a change :hehe:

I still harbour irrational feelings towards Russell Slade and he left years ago and don’t get me started on Colin :hehe:

Me too. And I'm actually still disappointed in myself for thinking Colin was OK for a time:hehe:

Re: Uche

if Uche is available for 750k in the summer I'd be fine with us signing him as an option from the bench - especially if we could offload Collins for a similar amount to someone.

Don't want either as a first choice striker though

Clubs are skint post covid there is absolutely no chance we are paying 750k for Uche or getting 750k for Collins. That is delusional I’m afraid.

Middlesborough wanted 750k for him in January- well that is what was reported anyway

From what Morison has said previously there is a full squad review of the previous match - clips prepared by the analysts covering the good, bad and ugly. There are also individual review meetings with one player and members of the coaching team - of the sort he has described with Davies, Colwill and Watters.

I hope the same approach is used for older team members and loan players - backed up by tailored coaching sessions. Morison may feel that there is more value in investing time and effort in younger players who will be here next season and beyond, and who are learning and developing in front of us, but most of the squad are capable of better performances than they have normally produced this season. Vaulks, Nelson and even Bacuna have had games (half games in Bacuna's case this season) where they have played well - but then they lose concentration, play to their weaknesses not strengths, start making soft decisions, or (criminally) stop trying.

They all have an A game and if they produced it more often, despite their limitations, most fans would back them - not slaughter them on message boards. Morison doesn't have to publicly 'call them out' (not for the academy graduates either), but he cannot let it go either.

What Boro want and what they will get from us are two very different valuations I would imagine. We haven’t got a pot to piss in, we won’t be spending 750k on a back up striker and there certainly won’t be any clubs prepared to pay 750k for James Collins.
He was a free last year and now can’t get in our squad so how you think we could get 750k for him I don’t know? A spot of Sunday lunchtime drinking maybe?

You're kidding right? You keep going on about how tight money is at the club but you'd be happy signing Ikpeazu for 750k?
