Wigan / Wolves interested in Ben Stevenson (7 Viewers)

[torchomatic]

So what? He's a young lad and a very intelligent player, this is a bad decision, which will look even worse when Bayliss is gone in the summer.

We need money. I'd rather let B.S. go rather than Willis for example.

And it's not the summer and Bayliss hasn't gone. Also, we'll get new players anyway like we always do. As I said I'm not too fussed.

Thats the thing, one or the other. If Bayliss is on his way we should keep Stevenson, Doyle wont be an every game player next year.

Who would people rather see leave? Out of everyone linked with other clubs, this is the one I’m least bothered about.

New players every summer has brought us where we are. The annual pot churn of freebies and new fledglings leave us vulnerable. You have to have retention and build a squad, you have to have players who at least have pride in the badge and want to improve. No successful team was ever built in one summer.

Just informed my 9 year old of this, his response, 'not bothered, he's not that good, he doesn't play anyway, he's their problem now, can I have a biscuit please'.

is your 9 year old Andy Thorn ?

I'd rather him than Willis at this present time, but also on the basis Robins is planning for the summer or doing a bit to get some cover.

Ah, the old biscuit game! Slight variation of the way we used to play it, mind.

Reid is linked with another loan to Colchester.

They need to sort that Sharpish.

New players like McNulty, Biamou. McDonald and Doyle have got us to the 5th round and into the play offs. I'm not complaining. I'll say it again, nor bothered by Stevenson going at all. Happens all the time at all clubs.

Will repost as it’s more appropriate here than the match thread.

We do seem to fuck ourselves over by selling last minute in Jan every time and not having replacements ready. There’s being a selling club and there’s being a selling club that sells at the right time and for the betterment of the overall side. Boiling it down to “players leave clubs all the time” is like me running over your dog and saying “people drive cars all the time”. Technically true, but kinda missing the entire point.

I could list a lot more who got us a couple of relegations.

I'm sure you could. 17/18 is what matters now.

Maybe Ben or his agent has engineered a move?

 

[Adge]

Hopefully yes. Must have a good one then, a bit like Connor Thomas did.

 

[Grendel]

Why are our corners always so non threatening?

Why am I on the wrong thread?

Let me guess, you also wish Conor Thomas and Stevenson get career ending injuries like you wanted Haynes to?

There’s not liking or rating certain players then there’s being obsessed and wishing career ending injuries on a player you don’t like, it’s not healthy for a grown man to be so obsessed. It’s almost as if you’re desperate for attention

 

[Manchester_sky_blue]

We are where we are. If decent bids come in for our players they will be accepted because we are reliant on sales to balance the books.

We just have to hope that our cycle of freebies and youth players every season somehow get us back to the Championship and an even footing, at which point we might have the luxury of turning down bids.

We turned them down last year?

 

[Manchester_sky_blue]

We turned them down last year?

Because we had sold others and the bid wasn't all that high.

 

[Nick]

Because we had sold others and the bid wasn't all that high.

Who?

 

[Manchester_sky_blue]

Who?

Vincelot for one, compensation for Sambou for another. Sordell and others were offloaded for free but replaced with new players on lower wages.
Had Brentford met our valuation of Stevenson he would have gone.

I'm on about in the January.

And Willis...

Surely if any team matches a valuation / asking price for a player they will be sold?

Well yeah but the goal is to get to the point where you don't need to set an asking price and can keep a squad together.

Aye, that’s it. Don’t get enough attention at home. :emoji_disappointed:

 

[covcity4life]

If we not got any incomings i would like to keep ben. Never know when he might be needes.

Or Dai for balance. B-)

According to Robins Stevenson was ill and his dad rang up to tell him. Is Robins having a laugh or do professional footballers genuinely get their dad to ring up the manager explaining why their son isn’t available for selection?

As for 20-year-old midfielder Stevenson, who has been strongly linked with interest from Wolves who have been reported to have been in talks with Coventry, Robins revealed: “He was ill. His dad phoned up at four o’clock to say he is ill.”

I hope thats true just for how funny it is.
