If it's the same lass, I saw them both in Tesco on Abbeydale Road (somewhere our players are often spotted) and to be honest all I remember was bleached blonde hair, big boobs, a load of fake tan and jewellery. I am sure she is a lovely person as well though.

You’ve just described most of the females who frequent Aldi in Dinnington , minus the jewellery but plus the tattoos, beer guts and disability scooters

How would he be? He has been poor wherever he has been since leaving us under a cloud.
Added to the fact that he was an absolute disgrace in that final season for us. I will never welcome back him or Ramsdale, despise the pair of em

Don’t get me wrong, I will book myself in for an hour of self-flagellation later for doing this but I’ll defend Lundstram a tad on your first comment.

When Rangers had their Europa League run he was a key player for them. He played well in their semi-final and was well liked there for that season.

I seem to recall they and he dropped off a little and no idea what happened in Turkey; he already had teeth like a grand piano so assume he went there for the money. I don’t recall reading many headlines when he was at Hull though I do recall him being injured a bit.

Wilder seemed a bit immune to the Lundstram criticism. Lad did great to get himself into contention for a start, had a purple patch for 3 to 4 months then phoned it in so much that second season he could have been Bob Hoskins’ long term replacement on the BT Commercials!
 
I don’t subscribe to the Lundstram had ‘purple patch’ for us theory.
He had some good moments in some games, but that’s it.
He never had a great game in the way that TC or Iliman or Coutts or even COH has had a great game.
Generally he was anonymous and ineffective until he decided he’d had enough and then he became an utter liability.

Not so sure. In the the 19 games before his injury where he played pretty much all games and 90 mins we only lost 4, and he scored 3 & provided 1 or 2 assist?

His late runs into the box was causing all sorts of problems.

He was an effective part of the well oiled machine in the box to box role, he was no less than john fleck apart from he was adding goals to his game (although fleck was more consistent for longer).

Ultimately he had his head turned sulked and as everyone says down tools. Its 1 of the reasons we ran out of steam and didnt qualify or threatened the spots in the end. If 1 cog of the machine isnt working. Then it doesnt perform as efficiently.

Unnaceptable.. from any player. As a fanbase i feel we are a critical but fair bunch. Its really simple put effort in and you will be liked, respected down tools .. unnaceptable. I really dont want to see him back.

It was always a disappointment to hear when he was starting over Duffy in the promotion year. He then became a bit of a non blades cult figure because he scored a few and we kept clean sheets but he was listed as a defender on fantasy football.

Hes a serviceable championship squad player. Nothing more nothing less. I think we have enough of those.

That’s the only reason people think he was a success with us. He was listed as a defender in Fantasy Football, our defence that season was solid as a rock…but it was absolutely nothing to do with him. And his goals and assists added to his Fantasy Football tally, making him a cult everywhere except BDTBL.
He was average at best until the following season when we got relegated and he downed tools.
 



Lets not forget, Lundstram had been a complete non-entity. Until we arrived in the Prem and Wilder announced he was starting with a flat midfield 3 after Duffy's departure. The new addition being Lundstram and we were all utterly baffled.

Nothing in the championship, a brief period of being 'in form' for half a season, believed he had made it, downed tools, Rangers and Turkey.

His career has amounted to not a lot, in truth. Not a chance I'd have him back here.

Is this where we finally see Gus moved to more of a role he had at Coventry?

Let’s assume Dobbin is incoming.

That gives you Dobbin on the left, and Oné also perhaps having a chance there is an impact sub.

You currently have Donovan replacing André Brooks and Chong competing with him.

You’ve then got O’Hare behind Bamford or you have Cannon and Campbell competing if we go two up front as well as Oné as a forward option and Chong as a 10. You also still have Marsh, Ukaki and Nwachukwu to make decisions on.

Hamer played in midfield with O’Hare just in front. Sk now we have Riedewald who is very much defensive minded, does Gus get to be more box to box? It leaves Arblaster and Rothwell backing up.

Does that then free up Hamer to be more central and more involved, where he scored double figure goals and assists for Coventry but also create an avenue for us to cash in on Peck?

It feels like you lose some pace but Coventry seemed to cope and positionally perhaps Riedewald remains disciplined to allow Gus more freedom?

Without this, how does Wilder plan to move Gus more centrally unless he’s dropping O’Hare.

You then maybe end up with Arblaster aside Riedewald and Hamer in more of a 10 and perhaps O’Hare drifts wide? Perhaps we lose Chong as well, have O’Hare wide and bring in another central midfielder for depth or Marsh steps in. Or maybe that is also a role Sykes fills up?

None of this matters as we can score goals - it's just that we can't defend - where are the defenders?

The problem is, Champers, that if he's in the final year of his contract then it has to be either an extension or a sale.

All else is dejphonic.

Sometimes you have to take a view. Is it worth not having the limited fee and wages saving and downgrade that may bring? Or is it better to keep him and improve your chances of achieving?

I’d say he falls into calculated gamble.

If Chong is competing, we’re truly fucked!

If it were a young star, e.g. Ndiaye or Berge, it'd be criminal to let them leave for free, but he'll be 30 by the time he's out of contract and I don't think we'd get anywhere near the Brooks fee for him now anyway. Unless someone is going to offer us far more than he's realistically worth as a player in his last year of contract I say keep. Also he's allegedly very settled where he is so may extend anyway.
