    Yep. At least someone with sense.

    I met Thiam twice season. He ain’t fat at all. He’s a stocky f*cker. Muscle. Hence why he wins a lot of headers for his size.

    I agree his actual fitness had to be worked on last season (stamina etc) - but having said that, most of the squad was the same, not just him.

    I think he could be a key player this season for us.

    No , obviously one man does not win anything but they obviously think he strengthens their squad, or they would not sign him would they

    By the same token, we must not think he's good enough or we wouldn't be selling.

    Agreed, if selling him free's up a place for someone who doesn't run likes he's in concrete boyts then I'm all for it.

    We thought he was good when we bought him for the championship & if people are honest, most were happy when we signed him at that time, but hey oh , let's flog the lot & start again

    nonsense a strong striker can make a great target man with his muscle mass helping him hold up the ball and win aerial battles. You need big strong centre halfs too not lightweight ones like Lindsay.

    The strength of Potts is the best thing I can say about him.

    If we go into League 1 without strong players we will get bullied by some of these teams

    Would you keep all 6 of out no 10 style midfielders? And if not, which one/s would you sell or allow to leave out of Potts, Moncur, Mallan, Mowatt, McGeehan and Bird.

    What on earth are you talking about? I’ve never mentioned strikers & centre backs? Obviously they’re going to need muscle but you don’t want central midfielders, wingers, wing backs, second strikers carrying excess muscle for 90 minutes.

    Thiam’s not a striker, he’s someone who plays off a striker or out wide.

    Potts already has massive physical advantages over most central midfielders without packing on muscle.

    Neither need excess muscle & Lindsay’s not lightweight that’s something else you’ve made up

    Having Knasmullner, Hammil , Williams & Gardner gone through the exit door , I would let our new head coach work with the players you have listed & then let him make a decision on who he wants to move on

    I have said that I would leave it to the new HC to decide, as fans we have to put our trust in him , it's his job, & I am just a fan

    Fair enough. Closes down interesting debate sadly, but it is of course your choice.
