Yes think he will moved on , he’s not made himself that popular with the groupI doubt Kane will be involved with the first team next season
Think it was probably needs must, with Dabo injured/suspended and Eccles injured for most the season I’m not sure who would of played right back if we didn’t sign Kane. As others have said if we can offload him in the summer he’s done his job and no harm done.Sometimes I wonder what the fuck we're up to.
Recruitment model works on a 12 month rolling basses assessing stats and scouting players to work out who would improve us.
Then out of nowhere a player becomes available on the cheap because they have an attitude problem and we just go for it.
6 months down the line the attitude problem player has to be moved on because he has an attitude problem.
McFadz got slated at the beginning. Fans moaned about Kelly and Sheaf. Last summer loads of fans wanted to bin Allen. They wrote Moore off before he played a game. Basically a lot of our fans have poor judgement on players ability.
I am not in a rush to slate either Kane or Bidwell. I dont see either as terrible and I doubt we have seen the best of them yet?
Dabo for all his attacking energy has very little end product and defensively loses concentration and switches off too often. But I also think he is still developing just as Maatsen is.
However, away at Forest I thought Dabo was fantastic defensively. I hope he can achieve that more consistently next season. For a big strong lad he doesn't impress in the air. Crossing - that will depend on how much extra training ground time he is prepared to put in?
Da Costa, always in the winning side when he played. Deserved the points.
Think the question remains on how much influence he had during those games, but it is a team sport.
More games would have given a truer reflection of his ability, I believe.

Agreed bidwell needs a second season
massive strides made
I personally think Kane will go
I think the Kane signing was just circumstantial, he was fine as a signing providing Championship standard cover for Dabo.Sometimes I wonder what the fuck we're up to.

I’ll say it again as I did in another thread. If we manage to get Kane out in the summer, it was a successful signing. Did the job we needed him to do for a season. Seems to get on well with the squad but Robins has never been a fan of complex characters

Every season you put out these graphs putting out clearly ridiculous claims like the one above. I think last season it rated Brandon Mason as one of our best defenders. Does no-one ever think to change the model?
At the start of our League 1 winning season before he got injured and replaced by McCallum, Mason was probably our best player.Every season you put out these graphs putting out clearly ridiculous claims like the one above.

Give the lad his due, he finished the season looking a far better player than when he 1st came to us, getting used to the way we play and to his new team mates obviously took a little while but I have no doubt Bidwell will prove to be a shrewd signingKane was always a middling Championship player and someone to give us another option. Bidwell, however, has an impressive track record in the Championship. Personally, I think he’ll come good next season.

If we’re stuck with another player with two years to run on his contract in the bomb squad then you really have to question if it was worth plugging a gap for a few months.
He only has a year left on his contract?
Yes surely a loan player would have made more senseI think that will be the case if we are able to move him on without bother this summer.

Robins does seem quite all or nothing though - you're either with him, or frozen out. Not sure there's much place for a player to be roundabouts if they're moaning they're not playing.I don’t think Kane was that bad. He didn’t play well towards the end of the season but most the time he did a decent job, got a few assists and scored a goal.
If his attitude is shit then I agree we should look to offload him but if we can’t then it’s not like he’s a dogshit player like Dacosta
As I say if Kane is being a dick then offload him. I just don’t agree with those that are calling him shit when he’s clearly not. As for those slating Bidwell, clearly cluelessRobins does seem quite all or nothing though - you're either with him, or frozen out.

It still needs somebody to take him, though - and we did pay a fee for him. Now, you'd assume he has enough ability that somebody will take that punt, but we're tied up until and unless they do.As I say if Kane is being a dick then offload him.

As you say, it says very specifically he joined for an undisclosed fee, so clearly some compensation went out.I know upon his signing it said the fee was undisclosed, but did we actually pay a fee for him or did we just take over his contract?
I have actually previously said that I love the way our recruitment is working ahead of itself. I just don’t think this is a great example given it’s outside the model and the issues that mean he was shipped out of his last club mean he is being shipped out here.You can’t plan everything to a tee. The best organisations are dynamic and flexible and Kane came in a did a decent job when required. So, if we have to offload him after 12 months, that’s absolutely fine.
One thing that baffles me is that a lot of people seem to have lot to say about the ‘bad’ recruitment we’ve done. Yet, we’ve continually improved over the last 5 seasons because of the recruitment we’ve made.
With the rate of our success and development, it’s inevitable that players we recruited to then become surplus to requirements. Examples such as; Jobello, Westbrook, Mason, Pask, Baka are examples of this.

Nice shoehorning of the random nutters that love a moan in for like though.
Got a new contract and that was as good as it got for him really! Signed for MK Dons in March and didn’t play a minuteAt the start of our League 1 winning season before he got injured and replaced by McCallum, Mason was probably our best player.
