He wasn’t a very good footballer. I didn’t hate him, just thought he was nowhere near good enough in the championship. One particular incident sticks out when he made a run that impeded our other forward (might have been Godden) rather than created space for him

Not sure that's true.
weren’t he injured all season when we got promoted when he did his ACL?

Tbf he was at times. His improvement this past season has been phenomenal.

For me it was the bizarre 'pass' against Forest that they then scored from in the 92nd minute to win the game. It was 100% the right decision to let him go as his career since has shown.
Probably not but there were far more people saying we should have kept him

Yeah, that was definitely true.

No?
League 2 he played 40 games. Started playoff final
League 1 promotion season played 18 games. Scored last min winner be Bolton just before seaosn packed up iirc
Think acl season was the year we didn't go up in league 1.

in the league 1 promotion season he featured for less than 800 minutes in total
we finished 6th in league two - hardly a mega achievement either

As I’ve said in league 1 he played less than 800 minutes

He contributed to two promotions regardless.
Dont have to have him as your favourite player but he clearly was never shite.
The issue with biamou is that he had some diehard fans who would still want him in prem etc. But any posters issue should be with those weirdos rather than trying to put max the player down .

The Birmingham game ironically proved a water shed moment
I’m willing to bet that Robins and Adi ripped him a new one afterwards. He came back from that suspension a different player

It's not hatred at all, just an honest assessment of his talent. We needed better, and in Vik we got better.
It's weird how whenever someone points out a players obvious shortcomings, it's interpreted as hatred! Where the fuck did that come from?
Surely if the manager thinks he should be in contention then he will be. Otherwise he'll go out on loan or eventually be let go.
Tavares is not at the level, but I don't see us spending money on a 4th choice striker to get 5 or 10 mins off the bench now and then.
Unless we sign two more strikers and bump Godden down to 4th choice, which also seems unlikely. He would surely be the best 4th choice striker in the division.

Poor choice of word from me - perhaps detractors would have been more appropriate.

Someone with a bit of a humility would just hold their hands up and admit they dropped a clanger. Hamer turned it round and with Vik, carried us to Wembley. You just go on the offensive and fire shots at anyone you can think of on unrelated subjects. It's a bit grim.

Im hardly going on the offensive - I’m certainly not taking lessons either from someone who wanted shot of Gyokeres after his loan spell and extending biamous contract

That’s the reality - we need two more forwards even if we keep godden
Can you point out where I wanted shot of Gyokeres after his loan spell?
"I'm hardly going in the offensive" he says then goes on the offensive

I wouldn't go that far. Our position is the best to be in, but we have to make it count.I would. Win at home to worst away team in the league and you are level on points, 2 games in hand, far superior goal difference. Its theirs to fuck up. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk
Can you read?
At the same time I made that post you were saying Gyökeres was as bad as Biamou.
Just get a fucking life you weirdo.

To be fair you did say a few posts down that Reid would be first choice in the 21/22 season. We all have rubbish opinions sometimes.

Yes you keep saying that - I think @mmttww will say you are being defensive
Biamou - new contract
I very much doubt Biamou is on anything like 4k. It's not really a particularly hot take. I would Biamou is closer to 4k then 1k (more likely 2.5-3k). I'm basing it on an initial average L2 wage, 2 promotion wage rises, new contract while in L1 (rise) and 3 yearly incremental wage rises. Jones...
