    Love the comment from their manager

    He's going to be a very good player for us going forward

    Not sure a lot of City fans would agree with that

    I'd have kept him and played him centrally where he looked very good at times. It also wouldn't surprise me in the slightest to find out there's little between him and Wright. Certainly not enough to make a difference anyway.

    Wan't half as bad as people make out. Heck we got to the playoff final with him playing most of the season, linked up well with Meredith that season. None of other midfielders bar Cullen did much better than him if at all.

    I'd give you an 'agree' but apparently little pictures upset those of a nervous disposition on here.

    If his wages were not prohibitive I would definitely have kept him. Never understood why many City fans disliked him. I thought he was a solid player who rarely lost the ball and had a good pass completion rate. In a central midfield role I think he would be as good if not better than what we have got now. And Jakes always rated him highly and he knows what a good midfielder should look like.

    Spot on. Almost never caught in possession, always made time and space on the ball, superb passer at L1 level, linked beautifully with Mezza, Cullen and Billy Clarke, frequently carried the ball forward and got us out of tight spots time after time. All of this as a right footed central midfielder being played out of position wide left most of the time.
    On the few occasions he was played in his favourite CM position he ran the game for us.
    I'd have given him a new contract, put him in central midfield and built the team around him.

    Good signing for them. Comfortable on the ball and doesn't waste possession.

    Makes him sound like a world beater. I thought he did a job for us, especially when we had better players two seasons ago. Temper this with the fact he didn't have a shot or tackle in him. No where near as bad as some make out but not as good as you suggest.

    No, I don't think he's a world beater at all. He'd be playing in the PL if he was as good as all that.
    But I do think he is a very good player at L1 level and could also do a job in the Championship, if played in his correct position with good players around him to link with, in a team that like to retain possession. He looked much better playing alongside Cullen, Meredith and Clarke than he did last season, because those around him weren't on his wavelength. And he was nowhere under Grayson's prehistoric hoofball.
    Of course he has deficits, but what he contributed far outweighed those in my opinion. Obviously many other people had a different opinion.

    Dropping to league 2 tells me there ain't no takers in league 1.

    The issue was that his pass selection was so conservative that even I would have a good completion rate with them!

    Nicky law always looked to me like he was doing a training drill, just gets the ball, turns sideways and quickly passes is , It says it all if he’s In league two now. Until McCall gets another club and then he’s off there
