sne Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 One of his biggest problem is that he seem to think he is much better than he actually is, and that he acts like he's been given the mandate to roam around as he pleases. Risk is this will be even worse in the Championship as he probably thinks he's too good to play there. As for him playing in midfield I think this is a horrible idea destined to fail because just like in defense he will never be where he is supposed to be. One of those who has to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he lacks is knowledge of how to play the position and, more importantly, he lacks a degree of self-control. By that I mean he still has the mindset of a marauding right wing-back. That could be utilised more effectively by converting him, for the short term, into a box-to-box midfielder. Then into a holding midfielder before finally converting him to centre back. that was exactly the same when he was a prospect at city, 18 years old a great prospect playing weekly for city, flirting with the england team, all the journalists, all the pundits were all saying exactly what you're saying, he had great physical attributes but poor positional sense and he just needed a bit of coaching 9 years later and he's learned absolutely **** all he's not going to change now 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do not get rid of the players who were the problem last season, I would be worried that they would hinder us again this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyBM Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 the people on here still saying that he will be of use in the championship, have you lot sobered up yet? hes crap at right back, hes crap at centre back and he will be even more crap in any other position. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post terrytini Posted June 24, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2016 Yet another thread with people saying Player X will be fine in the Championship. There are going to be a lot of shocked people on discovering the standard in the Championship, certainly the standard required for promotion. Teams that get promoted from it usually perform better in the Premier League than we have for the last few years. The guys who were u/s last year will, even with (an unlikely) character/attitude transplant, still fail this year (and for me Richards was definitely u/s last year). 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we pretending like promoted teams don't buy Premier League standard players to supplement their squads after promotion. For the sake of the argument?

GREAT_BEARD_OF_ZEUS Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I'm massively torn on Micah. The best game he had for us last season was against blues in the cup where he was a beast and didn't give Clayton Donaldson an inch all night. Now i'm under no disillusions, all they did was lump long balls up the pitch so it played to Micah's strengths in that it just became a physical battle, BUT if we sign/keep a good number of quality players, I think we'll force the majority of teams the resort to this type of football, so i think he'll have his uses in the Championship. Half of me says ship him out with his buzzy mates Gabby and Joleon. Then the other half of me says, keep hold of him and stick him in a group of more professional players like Elphick (and hopefully more of his ilk) and i think we'd see a different player, albeit one which we'd need to utilise in the right positions/situations.

We would be in mid table obscurity with last seasons squad. No doubt about it from me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderball Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Get rid, and quickly too. This boy is delusional: had massive promise about 9 years ago (or something like that), but is some monied billy big boots who is just not good enough at PL level, and his attitude poisons him, so will be unable to contribute at CL.

Villaninireland Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 He is utter crap , the video of his half hearted warm up at Arsenal shows what he thinks of this club & needs getting rid of as soon as we find some idiots to take him off our hands. Box to box midfielder ha ha . Didn't he say he cannot play RB anymore as his body wont take it so yes a box to box midfielder is a brilliant idea. Just feck off Micah .
