Are you taking about Paterson or Rak Saki ?

I could see the latter as a CDM but never Paterson.

Paterson.

No I don't see him playing CDM, but presumably Eccles will be shuffled back into Sheaf's spot and Paterson can take one of the more forward thinking CM spots.

He’s a winger/number 10, it’s hilarious people think he’ll be playing cdm

If he plays CDM, all my good will evaporates when I see the team sheet

 

[Saddlebrains]

Bidwell is the contract

Reading comprehension is hard

Reading comprehension is hard

Some people have suggested it, I didn’t say you did did I if you actually read it

 

[shmmeee]

Hopefully Allen , we ideally need two left backs in the summer

Allens got an option for another year so would be weird to extend him now. Unless that’s what Saddle is talking about as an extension.

 

[skybluecam]

Go on then, find a comment saying he'll play CDM

 

[shmmeee]

Bidwell is the contract

Oh dear. No new LB in the summer then.

 

[M3rcian]

Bidwell is the contract

Worth I think. Defensively at least, we look more competent when he plays.

 

[Deity]

Bidwell is the contract

He’s solid but we know neither him nor JDS are the answer. We have to move JDS out for this to make any sense.

 

[Deity]

One thing that is becoming clear is that Frank is a pragmatist.

He started out wanting to play out from the back and through the lines but we have largely stopped that unless it’s genuinely safe to do so. We are also playing a much higher line now than when he first joined.

It might be that he knows that Bidwell and Paterson are not the answer but they are solid options for now.

Would be surprised if Bidwell starts next year but he offers experience throughout the squad and a level of aggression we overall lack.

Jay doesn’t fit the long term of what Lampard seemingly wants to do. Makes sense imo

 

[TomRad85]

Or someone is beavering away trying to offload Dasilva. I'm hoping this, would be disappointed to go into next season with Bidwell and Dasilva again.

 

[djr8369]

Why would Doug do a U turn on loans in the middle of negotiating one. Doesn't make sense

Suspect truth is somewhere in the middle. There probably isn’t a loan ban but King won’t take one he doesn’t feel is value for money

We want to be really careful wishing to strip our squad. Us fans are so short sighted. A month ago people were begging for EMC to be shipped out

There were posters saying Wright should be sold back to Turkey as a loss. Now he’s the saviour we need back from injury.

 

[mmttww]

I didn’t say you did did I if you actually read it

This is a hard sentence to read, fella!

You could definitely use a hug. Much anger.

 

[mmttww]

FFS, fella. Lighten up and stop plotting the end times. We can just bin Da Silva off for a small loss (probs. have to pay some of his wages) and make space.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Heard we may be getting a RB coming in soon from the Scottish Premiership

ITK

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

Oh dear. No new LB in the summer then.

We weren't going to ever bring a LB in unless one of Dasilva or Bidwell were moved on.

Keeping Bidwell makes sense. He'll likely be put on a lesser contract, and he has invaluable experience that is sorely lacking in this team.

I don't really get the doom and gloom about retaining him to be honest.

Far better to keep him than Dasilva who is a complete liability.

 

[CCFCSteve]

Bidwell is the contract

Not sure the extension is about being potless then, more likely about him impressing Lampard since he’s been here. Robins didn’t want him. Lampard does . The fact that we’re lacking in experienced players round the group is probably a major factor

 

[LJC_CCFC]

Extending Bidwell up there with extending Godden. Heart over head decision making and another DK recruitment based mistake.

I don’t know considering he was off until Lampard has come in, seems Lampard wants him. Gives us experience in a young squad and is a decent rotation option. Would want Dasilva gone though to make more sense

Reduced terms and short extension fair enough, but I'd rather let him go and recruit younger.

Offload MVE then offer BNC a way out of Genoa

Is he not getting a game?

 

[shmmeee]

FFS, fella. Lighten up and stop plotting the end times. We can just bin Da Silva off for a small loss (probs. have to pay some of his wages) and make space.

Why when you can just let Bidwell go?

 

[Terry_dactyl]

As an aside I’m hoping the 3 letter name abbreviation players never end!

Bidwell is poor and getting worse. The Godden comparison is apt. We need two LBs really.

 

[skybluecam]

Honestly Cam if we were linked with him at the start of the window would you have been happy ?
Like I've said on another thread , we would be mocking another club for signing him , it's a really underwhelming signing

Also why would we be mocking another club? 44 apps and 13 goal contributions last year, he's not some clogger.

 

[shmmeee]

Just do what people did with Dasilva and make it up if it doesn’t exist.

HJW
ESM
NMB
TSM

easy

Offload MVE then offer BNC a way out of Genoa

You trying to trigger a certain short for car marketing executive?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Is he not getting a game?

Just 6 appearances this season.

 

[Terry_dactyl]

I agree with this up to a point. Bidwell is not poor but he’s not going to get any quicker, and ideally we’d replace them both in the summer.

Hes nowhere near good enough for what we want and has never held down a first team spot since signing really. I don’t see the point in continuing with him when his contract is up.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I’d be arguing for JWE as well
