    Sounds perfect if he’s ready to add quality

    Possibly, it was more to highlight we have numbers and options. Some may not think they options are good enough, but my opinion is the options we have are good players that can and will do a decent job when called upon.

    Agreed, I rate him but we can't just keep loads of players hoping they might fulfil their potential

    We need to move players on if we outgrow them as it's likely to be what's best for their careers

    Alese and Triantis jump out at me at moving on

    Would be a real shame RE Alese, great player in there but the lad just can’t stay fit maybes a fresh start is best for him

    Wouldn’t have a single problem with Triantis leaving either. He’s clearly a decent player but at PL level? He’d need time and we don’t have it really.

    I really rate Triantis, I watched him live loads last season but I honestly don't see a PL CM.

    He struggles to cover the ground at pace and struggles on the half turn but I think he can become a very good championship CM

    He turns 23 this season and we have better younger players than him in CM now

    I see he's switched his allegiance to Greece

    Yeah I like Alese but there comes a time we need to make decisions on these lads for the club and the lads themselves - i think barring injuries RLB would have stuck with Alese didnt he start the season?

    More goals is abit of an understatement. He's scored only 6 goals in 88 games for us and alot of them games were in League 1 against weak opposition

    I often wonder why he’s not had much of a go as a defender. It’s what he came as.

    Also looks like he’d count as homegrown, which I’m now thinking will be a crunch for us in the next 18 months.

    Where did you get 88 from?

    He’s played 141 league games here and only 17 of those were in League One…

    He’s only really played in defence for us

    I’ve never seen a championship player shoot as badly as he does. I reckon I’d fancy Patterson at shooting above Roberts (actually on reflection that’s not true). He did reinvent himself as a deeper defensive wide player who could break fast. Before that I was done with him.

    I just had a quick look at wiki whilst at work. They must have got it wrong then.

    Either way what i said still stands. Scoring more is an understatement

    Yeah but he’s barely played for us, on loan I meant.

    Hibs clearly seen him as a central midfielder

    He’ll be gone soon anyway imo. Don’t give him much hope of making it in the PL
