That's fair enough mate My concern is of players tiring come the end of the season, promotion isn't the be all and end all for us but be great to have something to celebrate The best players will play, i think Jobe Neil and Rigg are the type that will love the challenge of having another class CM to challenge and push them
Le Bris' career to date suggests he's a really good coach for developing centre forwards, he got great performances and numbers out of Bamba and Moffi, so it may be worth waiting and seeing whoever is brought in. I'll be sneered at by a few for this but Lee Johnson was similar - always got loads out of his strikers and brought them on massively. Doesn't get enough credit for the way Stewart improved here, not to mention the season Wyke had under him.
That wasn't my point at all. My point was the only way to keep the lads you enjoy watching is to get into the Premier League and stay there. Option 1 - We stay down, they leave. Option 2 - We go up but do a Southampton, they leave Option 3 - We go up but stay up, they stay. The question we all need to ask if would we be willing to risk Option 2 to achieve Option 3. Or are we happy with Option 1 for perpetuity.
I think it’s the quality of opposition Le Fee is doing it against though tbf. Seen a clip of him tearing up Marquinhos at PSG haha. Patrick Roberts’ clips would be him murdering Jimmy Dunne or something
Whether they leave this summer or next, they'll leave. Rigg and Jobe aren't going to be happy to stay in the championship just because some of our fans are.
Probably next, by which time we will have just as exciting players waiting to take there place. Or do you think we will be heading back to league 1?
Well hopefully you're disappointed as the ownership have made it quite clear they want to be a Premier League club
He's just going off what he's reading on the internet like most of the others. Unless he's randomly got contacts in Lille.
He doesn’t quote the other article however all the details are easy to guess because Roma are only interested in loan to buy atm however, i swear someone posted about le fee not getting on with the first manager at Rennes? He got sacked in November
I genuinely think that time is now. A generational opportunity to go up with players that can grow into the Premier League with us and be stalwarts for 5-6 years.
Fair enough mate nowt wrong with that. I don’t believe this team is anywhere near as resilient as the Leicester or Ipswich team that went up last year but time will tell. I would predict a massacre.
regarding rigg, i assume those huge offers where for his first pro? I remember reading years back chelsea having kids on 25k a week, is this still the case you reckon? Arguably set for life money if over 3 years and used properly, some coup to keep him if he did reject stuff like that.
Yep he had at least 2 offers that were more money than ours but chose us because we were the right club for him - that's definitely not changed after 6 months
