Has anyone considered we could play him at left wing, I think he would play well there

Whenever he's recently played, he hasn't been the same man when running with the ball, all he seemed to do is run and get tackled, no idea what's wrong with him.

I worry that our financial limits may mean we'll have no choice but to go with him next season.

 If he could find his earlier season form, I think he'd be a good left midfield player. But obviously that's a big if at the moment

Simple. He's not a good player. Fans from every club he's been at have provided negative reports about him. Looks like they were right.

Dan Jones offers us a completely different dimension to Nate and I think he's brilliant, been chuffed with him so far.

[Goku]

Fully aware I posted that. At the time I was chuffed with him, however as time has gone on he has got worse and worse both defensively and offensively. I was wrong with my initial view of him.

Can you tell me something, are we actually allowed to change our opinions on players or not? Still find it very odd that you trawl through everyone's past posts, too.

I think he's one of those players who puts the effort in when he joins a team then loses interest. Hence his failure to settle at any club for any length of time.

Anyone want to PM me the gossip ?

Yes please. I love gossip, true or otherwise. Please don't be like the one I heard ha ha.

Well hopefully you didn't praise him at any point during the season because I'm sure the resident oddball dim view will be pasting that post in this thread shortly.

Haha I think Ive praised him for being a 'dynamic full back'. Which he is/was.

This one is an oldie but a goodie

....first impressions
Pace : Fine
Passing and Awareness : Fine
Composure : Fine
Athleticism : Fine
General fitness : Fine
Balance : Stronger on right than left
Body Strength : Needs working on
Close Control : Needs working on
Reactions : Needs working on

Excellent prospect who currently has a bit of Folan's naivety about him - I think he'd get a battering from some of the hairy assed neanderthal CH's in L2, but if he comes to terms with it, he'll be ok. A few training sessions opposing Trots and Cooper will do him the world of good.

Armand Gnandulliet an "excellent prospect". Brilliant

"Composure: Fine"

Whoever posted this must've surely been a complete fool! He can't renege on it now, it's in writing, who cares if it was ages ago, people surely can't change their opinions over a period of time... can they?

Of course.
I don't trawl through everyone's past posts. I do it on occasions when I'm deciding whether summat is a quality post, worthy of debate, or not. Sometimes, views are so extremely contrasting that I think it's quite amusing to post them. Childish, I know.

[Westbars Spireite]

I usually stick with my first impressions of a player. I thought Adam Rundle was really good when we first signed him. He wasn't.

Well done Far better than wasting your time in an alternative universe. I think I got a bit of fair stick at the time for posting that after seeing him once. I wouldn't say it was a bad effort though, 'Reactions' perhaps being the best observation. Keep it up.

Aye. A player making an initial good impression and then fading off into mediocrity. Extremely contrasting indeed - that never happens in football.

Give it a rest and stop dragging up quotes from 6 months ago, please.

I would say it was a rather poor attempt, you are wrong re. nearly every one of the traits that you gave a 'fine' rating to.

We can safely say cook has changed his opinion.
