I think I'd sell. Not getting any younger and probably one of Warnock's big earners.Quote:

He has been a bit hot and cold since the season re-started (seemed to run out of legs in a few second halves) but that may be because he was carrying a niggling injury.
Still only 30 with a year left on his contract (so not much value in selling). Who knows if he is a high earner or not - but unless the club can bring in someone younger and better - sadly the same for Gavin Whyte as well - we should stick with Junior.
Agree. I cannot see Hoilett on big money. I think Warnock got him for free.Quote:

He's one of the few players we have that can make something happen. If we can't replace him, we have to keep him.
Need to try and keep him. He has a much better first touch than many of our other players, he keeps possession better than most of them too.
Hoilett surprises me. He lacks real pace, looks knackered after halftime but scores the occasional cracker and beats people with mazy trickery. On a bad day he's terrible though. Is he a modern-day Willie Anderson?
I've always felt that Neil Warnock was the only reason Junior Hoilett signed for us - after all, as a free agent, he could have come here weeks earlier if he was so minded, so, is it reasonable to believe that he will want to go to Middlesbrough if they show some interest in him? If it is and Hoilett wants to go, then I don't see much point in keeping him - maybe let him leave in a swap deal?
What get RUDY back :hehe:Quote:

Would love to keep him if he is happy to stay, but if Warnock came in for him and he wanted to go then there would be no point in standing in his way.
Has provided fantastic value.
Rudy is out of contract anyway.
Hoilett is one of our technically gifted players and as a poster pointed put still only 30 ,players like him and Albert who went back to Forest have a lot to offer I'd pick both before Murphy . I wonder if this is his agent doing some leg work for new contract discussion, I reckon he'd stay on a 3 year deal offer, with current wages ?
Hoilett signed a new contract in the summer of 2018. He is one of the highest-paid players at the club.Quote:

Hope that we manage to keep hold of Junior as he is easily the best wide player at the club. He can do a good defensive job also.
If we can't then I would want to see a damn good replacement as the others we have, perhaps with the exception of NML on his day) unfortunately aren't up to it.
Can't Warnock have Murphy instead?
And we're being linked with Jamal Lowe again.Quote:

I'd definitely take him as a replacement for Hoilett - be surprised if we went for both him and Moore mind.Quote:

Saying that, if he is a high earner, the club can get a fee for him and a reasonable replacement can be found, then why not let him move?
Every player has a price, particularly in these times and if the club can actually strengthen, then it could make sense.
on his day hoilett is still quality, but 31 with 1 year left if we get an offer I would sell, and then go for Ronan Curtis from Portsmouth
I suspect he's one of our bigger wages
Adomah doesn't have a lot to offer these days, his best years are behind him.Quote:

you don't see many wingers still playing into their 30s. wingers and attacking midfielders peak younger than any other position, followed by fullbacks.
The role is heavily skewed towards physical attributes, pace and energy getting up and down the pitch. sadly for most of us there's a noticible decline in these things as we get older. other positions are able to compensate with gained experience and are able to extend their careers, which is why you often see wingers converting to central midfielders or fullbacks as they get older.
Bloody 'ell!Quote:

Rambo is a prime example of that
Hoilett is a lovely player to watch when there are so many 'ornery' players around.
I'm doing a piece about our midfield this season. Surprisingly, the stats for our wide midfielders are not too dissimilar. I agree that Hoilett seems to be the player who can produce moments for us.Quote:

Hoilett gets goals and tracks back, yes has his off days but so do most wingers. Keep him, I doubt the fee we would get would be enough for a loan for an unproven player.
