believe he retired, but can’t remember.
Wouldn't Rob Lake be under the parameters of any NDA that was in place ?
I try not to go on twitter too much now but it's as if some fans don't realise the hole that we are in and how badly we need a takeover. I'm seeing people blast the club for not doing enough business in January and referencing other clubs, time to turn the phone off i think.
With Morgan rogers going to villa,am I right in thinking we had a sell on clause?
He was good, but if is he such a world beater why is our away record abysmal and he has often gone missing.
His wages are massive and we can no longer afford.
Try wobbling your head when we miss out on the po and have no new owner and yo £29k rumoured wages for another season.
If he is so great why didn't anybody buy him in the prem when we were relegated and why did a championship club get him when he was freed and available to any club in the world.
We paid him the most that's why.
I never said he didn't have great games, but not often enough to justify what we can now afford.
The lad on the other Ipswich wing Omari Hutchison looked to be similar, amazingly talented but could have laid on a number of golden chances but chose to go himself. Bizarre game.
Deserved a lot of praise for his performance yesterday. Appeared to come in and out of a back three. There isn't a player in this league that uses their body to protect and shield the ball better than he does. Without him, we simply cannot play the way Corberan wants us too.
Well yes that's Jeremy Roland Peace for ya.
Looking after himself at the expense of (real) Albion supporters.
Who would have believed it?
Smeth Dan is spot on from what i have been told, we were happy for him to go as to him it was the Sarmiento project.
Corberan is very much about the team, everythng is geared up to suit that, every player knows his job and what is expected to the finest detail, there is no organ grinder and monkey, he expects players to do both.
We were / are limited who we could get financially but had a good relationship with Brighton due to the Clarke and Molumby deals, they wanted him to get game time and play for a team instead of himself, we saw a very creative player who it was hoped could keep that creativity and be moulded into a team player.
However it became clear that after half a season that nothing was really going to change, he wasnt lazy but didnt fully buy into what CC wanted, he wanted to produce the odd bit of magic and be the hero, had he stayed he would of been very much an impact sub / odd start so a deal was agreed with Brighton to cut the loan short.
As for CC he is very clear what he expects, i was told when Mowatt first joined apparently he was a bit too over confident, he was (as of then) one of our best paid players and he was Ismaels main man, he wasnt disliked but rubbed people up the wrong way, but since he came back from Middlesboro he has grown up a lot.
CC told him what was expected preseason both on the pitch and in the dressing room if he wanted to play and Mowatt completely brought into it, he is now an important player and very popular with his team mates and a decent bloke.
Bartley was similar, apparently if he was having a bad day at training then everyone was made to suffer, CC picked up on it straight away and told him the same as he did Mowatt and again he is now influential for right reasons.
Diangana was more about work rate and desire, again told if he wanted to play he couldnt just do the fancy stuff, he brought into it and similar to Mowatt and Bartley is now a first team regular.
I know this isnt the Corberan thread but just giving examples from what i have been told as to why Sarmiento left early.
He is supposedly very intense (that comes across on matchdays!) but he isnt pally or overfriendly with the players, he is very demanding and so there can be no excuses or misunderstanding, Hefele and one of the other coaches are more the jokers and go between but basically you do it Carlos's way or you dont play!
I don't think it's that but he will not be a good fit in the Phillips role.
The 'Matt Phillips position' is a nightmare to fill. We need someone past their best before date, who used to be good and now isn't so good but can still perform and can't run like they used to so their physical limitations help them out with the defensive side of things.
Trying to find somoene like that with little money is a big ask.
I guess if COngo fail to go through on Wednesday he will be on his way back Thursday
I hope he comes to the Black Country derby and falls in love with us so much so that he builds us a new stand
I couldn’t see the current Bulls owner because he’s getting on but wouldn’t be surprised to see his Son and likely successor want to join the bandwagon and buy a team at some point
