They’d surely want to keep a player like him. *My book is called “transfer fees” by Daniel Levy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Blimey O'Reilly. Great work. How many goals against Norwich?! No doubt playing in the PL has made him even better at that level. Knockout performances can only be a good thing as his price goes up. I didn't think we'd be getting £5m for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really wished he had more to his game because I love me a Conor Hourihane goal. I feel like if Conor gets on the scoresheet, it's almost certainly in a win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post villan-scott Posted February 5, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted February 5, 2021 Great goal. Such a likeable bloke. Hope he continues to do well and gets them promoted. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handsworthvilla Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 So pleased for him. Seems like such a top bloke. Says a lot about him that he was banging on Dean Smith's door asking to drop down a division and go out on loan after only being out of the starting 11 for a couple of months 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Looks like they are playing him in the attacking midfield role, where he also excelled for Barnsley. Glad he’s doing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 He's a decent enough premier league player in the right setup at the right club, four goals and six assists for us in thirty one premier league appearances. I could understand us letting him go as we've got better options, but was a bit surprised that a team lower down the table didn't come in for him.

alreadyexists Posted February 5, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 5, 2021 I think he’s better than the Championship... he’s at least a lower half PL player for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to essentially be given a free role in the #10 position to be effective in the PL. Put him in midfield and the pace of the game is too much for him. Any team that presses and he might as well not be on the pitch. But games against Newcastle, Burnley, West Ham etc are fine for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's in that weird limbo space just doesn't have the ability/physicality for this particular level but also being really good for the level below. Kind of like Dwight Gayle. The PL seems to be too much for him, but when he steps down to the Championship, he scores 20+ goals no problem. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 If he's good enough to play against the likes of Newcastle, Burnley, West Ham and so on, a decent level of premier league opposition, then he's good enough to play a part in the premier league. I think it goes back to the old adage that most football fans don't know what they're talking about when it comes to midielders, most seem to think that you're not good enough if you're not some sort of midfield dynamo running past players, making crunching tackles and creating chance after chance, as if it's a video or something. Likes of Petrov, Westwood, and even Whelan were all underrated for similar reasons, and so too are players at other clubs like Winks, Rice and so on, even Henderson was in that category at one point. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, teams in the lower positions usually don't have much of the ball, don't attack much and have to defend a lot. This is why he can look brilliant in the championship but a bit of a passenger in the prem. I suppose he could work in a very physical team who can carry him a bit through games and use his set piece delivery to score goals. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
