Joel Lynch - What does this mean for him?

[seagullsovergrimsby]

If you compare Lynch and Hawk side by side , I know who I would pick. If Forest get relegated they wont fork out decent money for Lynch and he will come back. A new manager might give him a second chance which poses the question of what will happen to Hawkins and Hinsh.

 

[Silent Bob]

The fact that he refused to play for the team who pay his wages will do for me thanks. I'm no Adams fan but I doubt he was a liar.

I think we were spun a line. Adams probably wasn't lying but I don't think we know the full story.

 

[BensGrandad]

I do not think tht Lynch is anywhere near as good as some on here make him out to be and apparently he thinks he is. If he come back and knuckles down all is good if not we will survive without him.

 

[Da Man Clay]

Don't want him back, hopefully Forest will take him off our hands for around £250k. Is he even playing up there anymore?

 

[HG201]

I can only assume you lads are joking a Lynch is f***ing shocking. Wouldn't want him anywhere near this precious club.

Why is he in the Championship if he is so shocking?

 

[SittingbourneSeagull]

The bottom line is that if the new manager wants him back in the summer and wants him to play then that is what will happen whether we like it or not.

This is not Football Manager, this is real life and what we think counts for nothing.

 

[LABHA]

let lynch go down with the forest,i want players who play for the shirt on thier back.

I think you're right.

 

[hastings albion]

tHE BLOKE THINKS HE IS CHARLIE BIG POTATOES SO I THINKWE SHOULD f*** HIM OFF AND TRY AND GET SAME DECENT MONEY FOR HIM.

 

[Black Country Seagull]

For sure I would have him back at the Albion. It does mean that we will have to offload some of the centre backs come next season.
We have an awful lot of centre backs:

Virgo
Hawkins
Elphick
Lynch
El-Abd
Hinshelwood

I would let Hawkins go, Virgo use as a squad player and Hinslewood if he can keep injury free to the end of the season, I would keep him as back up to Elphick and and Lynch.

El-Abd I would also keep if budget allows when we need a midfield player man marked and as cover for across the back four.

Is this fact or rumour ?
When did Lynch refuse to play ?

 

[Acker79]

Get it right - it's not his decision. He made his position clear and now BHA decide if they want him back or if he gets sold on or left on the bench.

It's a combo, really, isn't it? BHA may want him back, but if he doesn't want to play they can't exactly force him. Conversely, if he wants back and BHA don't want him, he can't force them to play him.

So it is a decision that relies on both the player and the club wanting the same thing.

Wasn't it against Wallsall? Said he "wasn't in the right frame of mind". Was in the Argus not long after.

 

[NMH]

The door should be open to Joel and we should look to play him with Elphick next season. Hawkins is a donkey, Hinsh is injury prone and El Abd is inconsistent. Virgo can be his back up or cover for Whing

How about this outstanding idea - why not get rid of Lynch for a few bob (or nowt if it was an alternative to paying him wages) and get in someone else altogether?

It amazes me how quickly have forgotten last season. Elphick and Lynch put in some superb performances at the heart of our defence. To say that Lynch is a crap player is just plain wrong

Lynch did however put in some shocking performances last season as well. mostly a left back.

 

[Icy Gull]

I think we were spun a line. Adams probably wasn't lying but I don't think we know the full story.

So give me a scenario where the quoted "not wanting to play for the club/ not in the right frame of mind" is either not true or justified.

Please don't suggest Adams wanted him to be a striker in the game or that Lynch had mental problems that sorted themselves once he arrived in Nottingham

Exactly, it's a classic NSC disease unfortunately - anyone who leaves the club (see Henderson, W, Hammond, D, O'Callaghan, G) was automatically SHIT and most probably the worst player in the history of the game.
