Most liked posts in thread: Anderson and Colville

I'm not sure I can agree with you mate, he looked decent during his few outings always happy to have a shot when he could.
He had his injury problems and of course both Hopkin and Bowyer had to keep their eyes on where we were in the table, hard decisions to make bringing a young kid in to do an experiance pros job.
I haven't written him off, and no pun but a good pre season and who knows.

 

City played it just right. He filled the bench whilst Bowyer is still assembling his squad, at little cost, and we did it in a way that adds at least £30k to the funds. Colville just wants to play 1st team football, he isn't trying to "mug anyone off'. I can't see how you could come to that conclusion logically. How it unfolded suited both parties.

 

Anderson showed enough to be at least a Squad player for us. I think after a series of injuries the more he played the better he got and the more he plays next season I think he will further improve

 

Not sure anyone has actually said that.

 

I agree Park. When he came to us he was overweight and not match fit. To all the nay sayers I would see what he's like after a proper pre season, assuming he signs. If he goes elsewhere my personal view is we will regret it but I don't speak for GB.

 

Doyle and Payne were our most prolific goalscorers last season - except for one other player who scored twice as many goals per minute as them: Luca Colville. I hope he gets a chance for some more first team appearaces next season. I don't know how good he will turn out but I think he deserves to be top of the list of young ones to get another chance.

 

Id take colville over anderson any day of the week

 

I don't think he showed anything remotely positive.

 

Now, now. Don’t be calling him shite. He didn’t have a great season but the club was in turmoil, we had a number of managers etc. Thought all players deserved another chance and that we should all just get behind them?

Or does that only apply to the players that @Fordy117 rates????

 

Just another OTT comment .

 

If Luca Colville is a first teamer next season we're in bother.

 

Same for devine and Anderson to be honest. All three are not good enough so should be nothing more than squad players at best. That being said I hope neither Colville or Anderson sign at all.

 

offering a contract to one of Devine, Anderson or Colville makes sense. Offering contracts to all 3 of them is a little odd. How many cheap, reserve central midfielders do we need?

 

I struggle to reply to crap comparisons, you were banging about the lack of training and development in another thread and how unambitious we are. Three lads who have shown a little promise in their careers and you can't wait to get rid of them but you like Josh Wright.

Hilarious!

 

What do you base your opinion that he isnt good enough?. We have barely seen him due to injuries to be able to form such an opinion, surely?. Think I will trust Bowyer on this one

 

If Devine is on the bench next year and there on merit in front of the likes of Wright, I’ll be happy. Agree it’s last chance saloon but every team has players that are ‘meh’ and are not good enough to start every week. Look at Man City and Delph.

Put it this way, I’d rather Devine on the bench than Wright and Colville than McCartan. If that means we offload them two and give the youngsters a chance of breaking through, I’m all for it

 

I understand why you say that but it's a bit harsh to judge him on a season of injuries and various different managers plus we are a division lower next season which could be very good for him.

 

would you describe calling someone decent is fans creaming themself?
He's a squad player with the potential to become a first teamer if he stays fit, he's not Frank Lampard.

 

3 goals in 14 appearances for the club last season and only 19 yrs old, Is worth a punt

 

Those complaining we should have let them go would be the first to moan we should have kept them if they went elsewhere and were a success,
