What's this based on out of interest?
As he played all but maybe 2/ games last year? If he had been out for any sustained period I would guarantee we would have missed him.
Eccles moving into the category of so under rated he’s becoming over rated.
Good player and deserves a lot of credit for how he’s grown over the past two year, but I don’t think we miss him when he doesn’t play.
I hope he can improve and step on again.

So based on nothing ?When he’s been subbed, when he didn’t play this season and the season before.
Put it this way, there’s 4 or 5 players that I’d be really concerned about not having, and he isn’t one of them.
I really like him, but feel as though talk of PL interest is OTT.

If we were to sell Eccles there would be plenty of interest, including from other top end Championship clubs.
No they would totally overlook a player who has been right alongside Sheaf in the stats department for the last two seasons .…in your opinion
I can’t see Leeds, Sheff Utd, Burnley, Norwich, West Brom, Luton, or Middlesbrough interested…and that’s probably the top 8 along with us

Fair enough mateso why no bids, or interest, or reported interest, or suggested interest…..?
we’ll have to agree to disagree on this one
Torp hasn't done enough yet to warrant a starting 11 spot before Eccles. He's showed some glimpses of quality but has often been too slow and is apparently made of glass.I think both Palmer, Allen and Eccles are not good enough for us right now as we move into another gear. Harsh but true. Torp and Rudoni will feature alonside Sheaf. Some will move on now or in January and we will bring a few more in.
You could say exactly the same about Sheaf, Simms, Wright, van Ewijk. Not aware of any bids for any of our players.so why no bids, or interest, or reported interest, or suggested interest…..?

Torp also had some very poor performances. The Birmingham one was as bad as any individual display I have saw from any of our players last season.Torp hasn't done enough yet to warrant a starting 11 spot before Eccles.

MR will go with Eccles because he is a decent all rounder who can offer some protection to the back line.

So 'in front' of midfielders (as per 2nd para) or behind them (as per last para)?For anyone who watched the Getafe game, did anyone notice Eccles’ tactical role has been changed a little bit?
He was playing in the hole front of midfielders and had a clear instruction to spray the ball diagonally to our wingers. It was also a tactic too for our central defenders.
Without reading too much into one preseason game, we’ll be setting up similarly to how we did v Leeds (H) last season. Eccles behind a midfield of Sheaf and Rudoni as things currently stand.
Think he meant defendersSo 'in front' of midfielders (as per 2nd para) or behind them (as per last para)?
That's what I assumed tooThink he meant defenders

Correct, my bad guys and I’ve edited the post.Think he meant defenders

and Simms & Wright have been subject to speculation, but yes nothing more - however they along with MVE have only been with us one season and we paid huge fees for them too
You keep harping on about speculation like it has some kind of value, but speculation is all it is with no actual worth. Just internet bollocks from attention seekers on the whole, occasionally fuelled by an agent. It means nothing.
By definition, in playing for his hometown club Eccles is likely to be more settled than other players and less likely to seek a move elsewhere, or have his agent test the water by linking his name to other clubs. If he was made available for transfer I think you would be surprised at just who would be interested in signing him, and in my opinion those clubs interested would include a few you dismissed in an earlier post.
