Maybe he'll appear in a TV advert... De Niros in one now mistaking his part for a car or such like.... Maybe he'll end up doing a Sugar Puffs add....
 
Honeyman isn't good enough for League 1, he doesn't seem like a footballer at all tbh with you. I could put my boots on and run around all game but that doesn't make me a footballer. No, our replacements aren't likely to be very good but neither is Honeyman so if he goes he's one player I really don't care about leaving.

Posted before, but when he played for Sunderland when they finished us off he looked a great prospect (along with Pickford who had a great game). His work rate is outstanding, but what a friggin disappointment. Or maybe mis-used by McCann?
 
With the Major Plan in place, a plan so esoteric that fans cannot be allowed to become aware of its content, what massive players are we about to sign - this surely will give us a hint of the inner machinations of the elite planners and their ultra secretive stratagem par excellence. Messi? Cristiano? or some undiscovered talents from the Isthmian League? or is it a cunning swoop of the local pub leagues?
I have a lot of time for this post, sir!

I said the exact same thing about Meyler and he was playing in a far superior team. Others said the same about Quinn.

Honeyman has done fine, he didn’t settle initially, but he was the best of a crap bunch in the last few games and one of the few to actually try.

We need more like him.

Quinn was one of my favourite players at the time as was meyler, never had a bad word for either of them. Both workhorses but also had something about them. Quinn was very good on the ball and Dave wasn’t bad either. I’m sorry but got to agree to disagree as I think Honeyman is a load of ****, not seen any game of his to change my mind. Fair play to the lad for covering distance but give any city fan a game and they’d do the same. He’s not good enough and wasn’t for Sunderland either.
 
Nobody said that about Quinny

They did.
“Works hard but no end product”

“Runs around but not PL quality”

Like I said, I was the same about Meyler and looking back, I know I was wrong because I now appreciate what he brought to the team.

Honeyman isn’t a bad footballer at all, he’s played in a bad team, I’m surprised given his performances in the last 9 games or so that he’s come in for so much flak. Start of the season he didn’t look good enough, but he’s taken on the challenge and risen to it. Can’t knock him for that, even if his best isn’t good enough to keep us up.

No no they didn’t about Quinn

Agree. I do not rate him highly at all. He is also a complete bellend. Was shouting abuse at the fans at Turf Moor because he couldn't handle them voicing their displeasure (I also saw him do it after that debacle at Barnsley). I think he's paid enough to take some criticism. He's a very unpleasant character.

I'd have been more than happy had he been shipped out. Championship is definitely his level.


I'm not a fan for a reason.

He's not good enough.

I’m not saying they were right. But there were people who didn’t rate him.

Agree with this. Personally , I'd be happy to see Honeyman as captain next season. Actually thought he was more capable of passing the ball ten yards to another amber shirt than any other midfielder, when he played. Mind you it was a very low bar at times.

Possibly same here ..... so long as McCann doesn't stick with the 'headless chicken role' he's given him.
Hopefully though, we'll bring in better captain material. Ehab says in his letter they've learnt harsh lessons, they need to bring in experience and nous. He at least got that right ... now let's see what the next couple of weeks brings (I say couple as he also said they need a strong pre-season and aggressive start to the season - only achieved if they bring in what's needed quickly rather than usual last minute / not at all). Clock is already ticking.
 
Tbf us together with 91 other clubs know which system we'll be attempting to play .. so a few players that could actually play in that formation would be useful now that daft lad has come out and confirmed dipshit is staying .. couple that with a couple of actual full backs would also be useful who know how to defend.
