The problem is he does not want to come back. Now the manager he had an issue has gone and yet he still does not want to play for us. No is there still an issue with the remaining coaching staff?
don't think that's true. i thought adams refused to pick him even though hawkins couldn't walk let alone run, plus he's just had a stormer in his first start of the season at northampton in the paint pot. can you blame lynch for feeling a bit upset about how adams treatment him?
I can blame any player refusing to play for the club who pays his wages, yes. He needs to grow up and fight for the shirt not throw a hissy and ask for a transfer so early in the season. Do we really want a player with this sort of attitude?
yes but did he actually REFUSE to play for us? Or did he just ask for a transfer? remember adams said in the argus 'he won't have a problem from me' but that's exactly what he had becuase adams wouldn't select him.
lynch is class. why wouldn't you want him playing for us? when cullip was on the transfer list did you think he shouldn't be wearing the shirt? if lynch had been playing whilst he wanted away he might have been just as committed?
lynch is class. ?
There's the rub. After our shit season and defensive frailties this season many fans are willing to forgive what they wouldn't forgive in a lesser player. I'm not as big a fan as most but I accept he has plenty of potential but had brain freeze way too often to be considered class imo.
If Fraser or Davies for the sake of argument had behaved in the same way as Lynch would they get your full support??
As far as I remember and I could be wrong he refused to play saying he wasn't mentally right, which is lame and somewhat childish imo for a professiona footballer
How does he feel now that MA has gone?
There is no way I would take £200,000 for Lynch. He is under contract with us for another two years, and his potential suggests he is worth more than that.
Forest are quite clearly trying to get him on the cheap, and they probably think we will roll over because he seemingly doesn't want to play for us anymore. We should not be taken for mugs and should not ask for less than £500,000 in my opinion.
