    Getting a few ‘low cost’ deals is a good thing. They’re the sort of players who help the PSR calcs considerably.

    Wonder if Speakman/Dodds/English overlapped whilst he was at Brum. Could help.

    His development has indeed been ridiculous. But it has also been fairly predictable. He improves every month and has more or less always done so this season when he's been fit.

    Reading the retained list, felt like we were probably not signing Meptham.

    For 80% of the season I was certain we should sign him then the final few weeks, thought we’ll probably need better in the prem / there’s better value in the championship.

    I’ve probably swayed more to keeping him now. The reports from RLB and the footage of the team talking about him, sounds really important with a young squad. Good experience, played in the prem, always been fit. If he’s being brought in as a starter I’d be a bit disappointed but we’ll need options and he’s a really good 3rd/4th choice cb for a newly promoted side. Obviously great for championship level if the worst happens.

    Maybe. But Mayenda showed more pace, more desire and more willingness to have a shot at goal in his first few minutes for us than Hemir ever did. I would be absolutely staggered if Hemir made it at any level of professional football other than the lowest Tier, and then he'll be a drifter if he sticks at it

    He has been at three good clubs now. He is not a kid, and he has shown nothing

    We can't retain a player who isn't ours.

    I know that, it was more the clubs post online thanking him for his contribution. His potential extension with Bournemouth will probably mean any deal will take a bit longer than it did to announce ELF

    Standard media release tbh.

    Means we'll get a scarf above head picture when he signs permanently.

    As others have said Hemir needs to find some fire in his belly. He could be a beast of a ST but his mentality and attitude has to change - his warm up at Shields in preseason was ridiculous, couldn’t even be arsed to lift his knee up high and keep up with the rest of the group. Hopefully he comes back and has some renewed determination after seeing what Mayenda has done, but I doubt it.

    Can’t argue with that

    Like I said earlier - the main frustration with Mayenda came from great chances being missed. He’s put that right

    Not really relevant to your point here but I keep clicking on the championship to look for this forum, and then that follows with a great realisation :emoticon-0103-cool:

    I'm not surprised. Something tells me he's gonna be kept busy, just enough to show what he can do.
