Offload Coutts to Donny?

[robbiez666]

Coutts is allegedly 'trouble'.
He's definitely what we don't need right now
No energy, no tempo, no pace,no urgency, can only play on the right wing, not bothered.
Dazza F loves him, he loves Dazza F.
I think the best thing the club could do, if he is indeed being a dick, would be offer him to Donny. Even if it means us funding his wages. Doing a local team a 'favour' in the process.

I can't see a down side.

 

[Barney]

He's marginally better than he was, but he's still pretty poor. The reality is, he isn't a very good player.

He's been better this season, but he's never going to be good enough. I'd rather we played an U-21 player.

We need some energy and passion (and enthusiasm).

Could a team made up of all the players we have shipped out on loan / got rid do any worst than this lot in our so called first eleven .

Can't see a down side of shipping any of them out from last night . That Bap bloke will be thinking what the fuck have I done , when I could have gone to Carlise on loan .

If donny can't afford a 60k loan fee for Scougall how they gonna afford a fee for Coutts, or are we giving him to them

If he's trouble, give him to them. Does them a favour and gets shut of a troublemaker we could sorely do without.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Why is he a troublemaker? Have I missed something?

You could have the wrong player?

I've no idea, not saying your right or wrong just pointing out there is no evidence except NA says there is one player.
He never named him.

 

[boo radley]

in our position willing to pay the wages of a player playing for another team!! You're having a laugh.

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

I recall the time the member on BM "closeasaBlade" another Clough fanatic who followed him rather than any team, stated that Coutts was a "Top Class player who wasn't far off being a Premier League player, he was that good" ...

I now realise that the Premier League was in fact the Northern Counties.

 

[Gee]

He looked alright to me when he came on Saturday. Tell me what he did shit at Fleetwood. Oh most people can't, they don't go to away matches like I do. The team looked a lot better when he came on. simple!
Tell me I am wrong if you went that is. Sammon also ran through brick walls Saturday when he came on. Again tell me I am wrong. Baptiste looked solid too.
Makes me laugh, people don't go to games Clearly from the comments and then slate the fucking players...............

Onwards and upwards.

Well said fella
Let's not forget Fleetwood are on fire at the moment 13 points from a possible 15
Not bad that

 

[Benny and the Blades]

When the team are playing like their short on confidence, it always amazes me that some "FANS" think they will start playing better if you boo them ?

 

[longinthe toothblade]

He's been better this season, but he's never going to be good enough. I'd rather we played an U-21 player.

If we've got a U21 that's good enough........have we?

Good point, untrue, but fair comment in essence.

I'm a ST holder and can confirm for those that don't go that we are absolutely shite. That is why we are facing the longest period outside the top 2 divisions in our entire history. Tell me I am wrong.

 

[Lane Ender]

It's what I heard should have checked the facts
Only one win out

 

[Gee]

I was answering the people that slate individual players. Especially the ones that made the team better on their introduction. I wasn't and didn't mention the team. Tell me I am wrong....
I am also a season ticket holder and I go to every away game. So fucking what. I suppose you think that gives your opinions more clout.

Onwards and upwards

 

[Benny and the Blades]

OK Deano, your wrong...
I think it's because Mr MaCabe idea of putting the money into the Academy in the hope of making a few bob and not into transfers is why we are still down here........

 

[Gordon cowans]

Wots good about football and especially us on forums is that opinions differ wildly,i saw coutts (burton aside) as one of our better players,now IF he's trouble lets chip in for his train fare,but IF he isnt then I'd rather have one coutts than hammond and woolford put together..........opinions eh?......hang on folks let me brace myself for the forthcoming abuse!!.

Elephants blink when they fart. An answer to a different question ,just like you've done but at least mine wasn't a poor excuse to have a sly dig at Utd eh ?

 

[Harry's Game]

Coutts has some ability but lost a good yard of pace from the injury and looks to avoid challenges no doubt worried aggravating the Injury.

Even if he isn't trouble we don't have the players to around him to cover his weaknesses.

 

[Gee]

Like I say, he looked alright Saturday, didn't look no slower or faster than most other players on the pitch. He also hit a 25 yard screamer that only just went wide and sounded like a bullet hitting the hoarding. That is what we are missing, someone in midfield with a pair of balls willing to crack one from outside the box.

 

[sheffielder]

Coutts is THE example of what is wrong with this club. No effort and no heart

 

[sheffielder]

Is coutts good enough?

Tell us something we don't know.
Only seen the highlights but they showed more energy and was certainly an improvment let's look for positives and stop beating ourselves up continually it's getting tedious.

He frustrates me when he doesn't go flying into challenges but Montgomery did when he couldn't make a 10 yard pass and Sharp when he doesn't beat 6'6 centre halves in the air
Anyway its better to concentrate on what a player can do and feed their strengths ,its up to the manager to assemble these parts and form a working unit with all the right cogs in the right place. I don't want to get into another Adkins rant so I will leave that. Coutts is good at getting the ball down ,getting his head up ,driving with the ball ,keeping possession and giving good quick balls in tight situations ,he is also a very good dead ball player ,but for some reason doesn't get a look in except for corners.If we get the right balance he could be a massive asset especially linking with Brayford and Sharp which has shown great promise until some genius decided to change the tactics and team around.

Sitwell, you've written a load of codswallop about Coutts and we have disagreed. I do agree with you however that Coutts could be employed in a good team in the right role. Unfortunately our squad is nowhere near being able to accommodate a pure footballer (maybe with a bit of an 'attitude') who has just a couple of moves and manouvers, can't run for longer than 5 minutes and certainly can't last 90 minutes even at half pace - something you disputed a few weeks ago and said he finished games stronger than he started them. I also recognise a proper footballer when I see one but I'm afraid even the prima-donna Premier League demands athletes who can run, yes they can get away without tackling and even any physical contact, but it's so hard to place a non-running, non-tackling, non-jumping man who doesn't even want to take the managers instructions, into any team. Otherwise you were right about him.

 

[sheffielder]

Coutts and drive. Seen it all

Is he off to Donny then or what?
