Centre half is a position we've really been spoiled in over my time watching us. Excellent as Lindsay was last season, until he's done it at second tier level, I wouldn't be comparing him with the likes of Futcher, De Zeeuw, Taggart, Morgan, Mawson, Roberts etc. Ditto Pinnock, despite the fact that he's probably as close to Futcher as I've seen for us in his style of play. However, I don't think that the catastrophe that was 2017-18 has any bearing on what's going to happen next season. I genuinely think that both Lindsay and Pinnock have a good chance of making the step up this time around.
Would make sense from Stokes pov to have him and Davies but we should get top dollar. If not then lets wait till Jan when clubs will.pay silly money.
Disappointing if so. However, he's not remotely irreplaceable. I'd be far more disappointed if Pinnock were to leave.
Players come and go. If a player wants to leave or run there contract down sell them. Let's have 11 on the field that want to wear the shirt . We will be ok we have had some quality centre half play for us and have left ,some for huge sums some for peanuts ie futcher but life goes on we develop and improve players have done always will do.
Ill miss his 60 yard passes straight into the east stand. Good defender but if selling him means we keep Pinnock and get to reinvest the money in a centreback then we’re all good.
A few posts on twitter suggesting we’ve accepted a bid. Radio Sheffield have confirmed the interest is true. Would’ve loved it if we could’ve kept hold of him and Pinnock, but he’s the one of the two I’d rather see us lose.
Radio Sheffield confirmed they've made a bid, lets hope we turn it down. Like to see the pairing start in the Championship at least.
Its been stated time and again by the owners... any player entering their last year of contract, will be sold if they do not sign an extension Why would this surprise anyone... These are businessmen, McGeehan and Pinnock will be next if they don't extend.
Whether he's sold or not my worry would be his lack of pace in the Championship. He got beat on a few occasions in league one, one of which was the last game in which he got sent off cause his man got round him and he pulled him back
Why do we have to sell to our rivals? If the bid is above 5 million fair enough but I would much rather see him go abroad rather than playing against us next season. I am not sure as to how he would fair in the championship as I think he lacks pace but he is a valuable half of a partnership and I wouldn't like to see that broken just yet. That said I have faith in the scouting regime and are sure he wouldn't be sold unless a replacement is already identified and in place. COYR
Think the owners are right on this one extend your contract or leave. Do we want the Winnal fiasco again Yes I agree would have been good to see the 2 at the back as the play well together but if he wants to leave ?
They have stated that but I'll also guess that they wont give them away just because they're in their final year.
I do agree with what you say we chopped and changed all season playing players out of position that season and the stand out center half last season pinnock hardly got a chance
That post was ok until you put the word 'Morgan' into the same sentence as Futcher et al. You have got to be joking there!
