one_ian_taylor Posted January 11, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 11, 2023 Odd one. I've been keen to see more of him, and I thought he was pretty decent on Sunday, but by the time he came off I could also see for the first time why we might want to move him on. Decent enough passing, positioning, movement, lovely finish, neat and tidy, yet no one outstanding quality. For that reason it's hard to see him being more than a squad player, and it feels like we should either move him on for a more likely starter that fits into the manager's plans or get better value for the squad place.

Zhan_Zhuang Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Never really got a chance... If perhaps he was given his chance instead of McGinn things may have improved. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's 9. I know you love him but it's cheating to name him twice! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyVillans Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 One of our most bizarre signings. He was highly rated and we got him for a good price. Injuries and out of favour with multiple managers. The few times he did actually play he looked pretty good though. Will feel weird to see him go even though he hardly played.

UpTheVilla26 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Absolute waste. Let him go, yet keep Dendonkey in the squad. Not impressed at all. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the type of players we've struggle to move on in the past. if someone wants to take him of our hands after he's managed less than eight games worth of Premier League football in three seasons then we should be thankful. Just think he's not worked out more down to Steven than anyone/anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 good luck to him. For whatever reason it hasn't worked out. At least he scored when he finally had a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo_b Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I imagine he never really settled in England and wants to go home to France, regardless of whether he played here or not. Best thing to do is move him on sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If perhaps he was given his chance instead of McGinn things may have improved. Perhaps after three managers not playing him people on here might realise he wasn't good enough. He's one of those players people think is brilliant because he doesn't play. If he played ten games in a row he would be slated for being poor.

Possibly, but as that's a theory it doesn't really work. If only he had the chance...he deserved as much. Perhaps he was also unfortunate with injuries, not settling, or attitude. Seems like we will never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
