Rumour was Blackpool yesterday, but then again with his positional sense he probably headed for Blackpool and ended up at PNE.
He'll fit in well at Deepdale. They play three at the back and either as a wing back or one of the three, he'd be much better than at right back. Dunno why, but when I've seen him, he looks to have forgotten how to play RB effectively anymore - never looks to be sure when to attack or defend and does neither.
Weird one this if it's true. Was great 2nd half of last season and has been alright this season. But no ones been consistently good. Plenty more in this team I'd want to leave before Wiseman. I will be sad to see him go (if he does) because of his impressive turn around last season. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Couple live and tv highlights. It may seem strange to have formed such an opinion on Wiseman on limited viewings, but even on that his positioning looks off. Almost second guessing himself. Could be wrong of course, but I also read with interest on how opinions on here about him fluctuate. Perkins - came into football late, you almost think he's five years younger than he is because if this. I think he's now playing as though his age is catching up with him. Once he loses his dynamism, he'll disappear quickly down the leagues. Many wanted him back at Dale at numerous times over the years, now he wouldn't even get in our side. Hill would agree. COG - you won't find a better targetman at any level of the game. But his head has to be right. Confidence needs to be total in him. Paddy is Paddy. He won't change, but nor will anyone witness a genius such as his in the British game anymore. TK - Hill brought him back to Dale on loan during our L1 season, but he lost his place to Joe Widdowson. That said a lot and I was surprised Hill signed him again a year later for you lot. I think that despite his obvious abilities as a player, his time to play at a higher level may be coming to an end.
COG - you won't find a better targetman at any level of the game. But his head has to be right. Confidence needs to be total in him. Just not having that, he's ok, but talk about going over the top. TK I think that despite his obvious abilities as a player, his time to play at a higher level may be coming to an end. No, just no, what obvious ability?, **** me.
Why anyone would want him to stay is beyond me. Watch all the goals we've conceded this season. If you make it to the end without becoming suicidal at the sight of our full backs, you're a stronger man than me. 1 of the crap back 4 down, Kennedy & Ramage to go.
TK - remember the player you had in the back three last season? Hey, I'm not saying he should be anywhere near the team, but he was always a good footballer. And I'll accept he isn't anymore. COG was the best centre forward I've seen at Dale. By miles. Better than Holt, Lambert and Glenn Murray. His hold up play is such that you could stick him in any game and he can perform that role better than most. On his day, he was impossible to shift off the ball and his touch was top drawer.
Seems a fair summary to me. It's a shame about Wiseman, as he really did play well in the second half of last season, but he has been pretty poor recently and it is time for him to move on I feel. Similarly with Perkins, on his day he has been fantastic for us, covering every blade of grass, and many opposition fans have singled him out as being our star man. But not so much this season. I'm hoping with O'Grady that it is just a temporary blip, as again he has been a fantastic player for us. Hopefully Wilson can find the right words to get him back on track. Having said that, if the potential £1.5m was not a hoax... Kennedy is poor though, so I would be glad to see him moved on. As for Paddy, you're right, we don't see many like him any more. In fact, the last player to excite the crowd like that was Hignett and, even then, I don't think Higgy's best moments matched the two goals that Paddy has scored this season for sheer brilliance. There's a good chance that you may see one or two of your ex-players next season when you play us in League One. But hopefully they'll be cluttering up your team again by then!
If we go up, can see Wiseman fitting in with what Hill wants. But not if he moves before then. The rest, apart from COG, offer nothing we'd want.
I wasn't including M'Voto in the back 4 (Wiseman, Cranie, Ramage, Kennedy - of which I'd only keep Cranie). I know your thoughts on M'Voto - personally I'd keep him.
