Question for Monty fans only!

What if we were offered £1mill plus for Monty - which I genuinely think somebody would pay for him - would the monty fans let him go for that amount?
 

I wouldn't take it, players like monty are so under rated it makes my blood boil

He might not make 50 yard passes, but he battles, gets stuck in and makes some good runs to open space for others. If you watch him, he will make many a run down the right wing trying to open up the middle for others
 
You'd be very surprised what has been offered for Monty in the past, Mousey.

And before you ask, yes I do know, and, no i'm not saying.

;)
 
Always makes me chuckle when people make out no other team would want him. Teams a lot better than ourselves have more than enquired about him in the past.

Very undervalued by many is Monty.
 
Only SUFC fans would be so effusive about a player who 'cant pass, cant head, cant shoot'. They do say you ultimately get what you ask for. You've got Monty.

Perhaps more of us should demand better?

Do they say that? If anyone does I'd say they're talking bollocks. We've all been asking for a decent attacking midfielder since Brown left and we still haven't seen one yet, unless ultimately means in another 25 years. On that logic though I don't think fans were screaming out for monty before joined us or screaming out when he started as a promising winger for him to play in the middle as the warrior defensive midfielder he's turned out to be.

Quite how are you suggesting we should demand better? A letter to Blackwell, McCabe or the Star? An after match car park demonstration? Or shall more of us join in with the dickheads that boo him, mock his every touch and sing a song about him and rape?

nobody has given more for the blades since he's been with us, he's improving year on year and would play each week for most sides in this division. He was rock solid in the Premier league and we've seen what we get without him in the side a number of times. I'll be setting off in a minute happier this week than for the last month or so knowing that Monty will offer some protection at the back. Realistically we haven't got a chance of getting anyone better to fill the role he plays so are you suggesting we should just drop that role and play without anyone outside of the defence making a tackle all game?

Not much get's me angrier than the ability some people have in failing to recognise he does what he's paid to do and would rather just concentrate on abilities like shooting, heading and passing. I don't think his passing is as bad as what you often see from Henderson, Quinn or even Harper since he joined.

That Messi's wank he can't goalkeep, tackle or close players down, booooooooo.

I've been playing and watching football for a long time mate. Please refrain from trying to devalue my opinion as 'failing to recognise' anything. I recognise Monty's limitations and attributes only too well. What you 'fail to recognise' is that the former heavily outweigh the latter.

For the record:

Monty's tackles rarely secure clean possession for us.
He gives the ball away more often than he wins it.

Quote:
'people ... would rather just concentrate on abilities like shooting, heading and passing'

Somewhat essential abilities don't you think?

Your comparison with Messi is risible, I'm afraid.

Show me the proof please. The statistics, the facts and figures. Not a statement from somebody, the proper statistics. For the record.
 
Id like to stats of games won with monty in and out of the team.

I bet we have won more with him in than out. As our recent crap run suggest!

Fair play apologies for that, I didn't intend to devalue your opinion and we probably won't agree - I feel his attributes always outweigh his weaknesses, especially compared to his competition in the squad.

I don't however think exceptional heading, shooting or passing are essential abilities for a player intended to do his role, not unless we were an ideal team in an ideal world.

I'm not comparing with Messi I'm trying to make the point that he's not paid to tackle, goalkeep or close people down and quite rightly people don't complain that he's poor at these things. Why is it different for a player that has given his all to the club and on the whole done his job week in week out?
 
Good game from the lad again tonight.

Showed a number of examples of just about everything that people say he can't do.
 
He was excellent throughout, and overall our best player along with Killa.
