It would appear Florin retrospectively failed the clubs "No Dickheads" policy, and was moved on accordingly. I cannot think of a single logical reason for this decision other than that.

If Naylor is believed then he is leaving because he wanted guaranteed Prem minutes, which obviously Potter wasn't going to say yes to. So this could be one of the (appears many) reasons why he has left.

But the players know exactly what happens if you get sent off, you get thrown out of the Club! Florin and Max!

Potter, likely with Ashworth, has identified the narcissists who will disrupt the group and will need to play to soothe their psyches. Andone, Locadia, Knockaert all gone. Kayal as well, though to a much lesser extent.

The 'no dickheads' test has been upgraded.
Now 'no narcissists' added, and perhaps soon 'no booze brothers'.

Hope we don’t move into a “sycophants” only policy :smile:

Not sure that he's flexible enough. Not convinced he can cleanly receive the ball in tight situations, or spot a quick pass an move on. His game seems mostly to consist of keep running inside until he thinks he can get a shot away. Hope I wrong, or maybe GP can coach him.


Goal at Stoke two seasons ago would suggest that you are wrong

We need to totally ignore the thoughts on the Jose we saw last season imo. I have no idea why we played an injured and unfit player

In January! Half the season is done by then.
They may well be concerned, but they're hardly going to publicise that.
That our strikers are an ageing Murray, a Championship striker, and a player from the under 23s who, apart from coming on with 25 minutes to go to see us lose 4-0 against city, has played two games at League 1 level. It's not complicated.

Sorry but I think I will trust in the billionaire fan who has the club's best interest at heart, the Coach who seems more than capable to make very good decisions and the rest of the very professional management team to know what they are doing.

I have to agree.. whether it was a no dickheads policy that got him pushed out or something else. It leaves us very very short up front. So we start with Murray and Maupay, then Connelly replaces Murray on 65mins.
That’s basically what will happen in every game. If one of them gets injured, we are F*cked.

Interesting points. Last season I don't think he'd have suited any manager's type of player.

What I would say though, is that first season, his cutting in and threatening the box probably more suits our now 3-4-3 than it did Hughton's 4-3-3.

It's interesting as Daniel James strikes me as similar, very quick, coming in from wide, often quite selfish in going for goal. Not seen enough of James to make anything like a direct comparison, but my gut reaction is they are of the same mould.

Jose was very quick.

Bit of a strange conclusion that he'll start with Murray and Maupay every game when after 4 he hasn't done that once yet. More likely is that Murray / Maupay rotate in the striking role, Trossard, March, Gross, Mooy, Bissouma, Izquierdo, Alzate, Jahanbakhsh all rotate the supporting attacking roles, and Connolly is used sparingly when needed.

We started 2017/18 with Murray, Ulloa and Hemed. Last season we started with Murray, Locadia and Andone. I actually feel more confident this season starting with Murray, Maupay and Connolly.

Silly old bat
Are we the new Chelsea of the loan market?!

It appears like that. How many have we actually got out on loan now?
I think it's great our youngsters are going on loan abroad, instead of non league clubs. It shows our academy is producing some quality players.

...but then he did start with Andone and Maupay against Saints ...so not out of the realms of possibilities that he would start with Murray and Maupay...or would like that option
