Joel Lynch

[TonyW]

You've just answered your own point. Kerry had commitment, Joel is lacking that. His head was turned before Micky came back on the scene.

And 'we've ruined Jake...'? Oh, please.

Robinson had so much natural talent it was almost unbelievable.

He was a born goal scorer in the Michael owen vein.

So what does Micky f***ing adams do, plays him in midfield for a few weeks until he gets pissed off.
Then drops him for bad attitude.

So, wind forward a bit, Adams doesn't play Lynch, instead he gives his place to 2 f***ing muppetts (comparatively speaking) and then can't understand why the lad gets pissed off.

 

[The Large One]

Well I think Slade has more about him than to listen to "a players history".
Because its exactly that - history.

Any manager that isn't able to make up his own mind about a player - needs a new line of work.

History, is it? That's why there's an offer on the table from Forest right now...?

It's a matter of trust, and Lynch has got to go a long way to earn that once again, not just with the manager, with the rest of the management team and the playing colleagues he walked out on. He is, as they say, tainted goods.

YOU might forgive him his lack of professionalism, but in the great scheme of things, that's completely irrelevant - it's his work colleagues whose respect he has to earn.

Even Dean Wilkins had a downer on Jake and his snotty attitude - he had to drop him for disciplinary reasons, remember? - and he appeared never to change it.

Jake Robinson was his own worst enemy.

a lot depends on how highly forest rate him. The rumours were that they were going to come in with an offer but to date & to our knowledge havent.

I'm led to believe that apparently, they have - but it's nowhere near the Albion's asking price.

As as most of them are from Stockport now, I don't see it as an issue.

 

[les dynam]

Yep, that'll do for me.

We have already ruined Jake, please lets not do it to Lynch as well.

There's one thing you can't buy in football, and that's support.
If a kid grows up supporting a team, and then ends up playing for them, you get so much more effort from them.

Just look at Kerry, not much talent, but ridiculous amounts of commitment.

To throw away local born talent in this division, is borderline criminal.

spot on. are you me? that's EXACTLY how i feel about this situation.

How can we seriously ask a large fee for a player who is (apparently) untrustworthy, unprofessional and tainted!!!

 

[TonyW]

spot on. are you me? that's EXACTLY how i feel about this situation.

I'll just check the mirror - hang on, nope still me

Seriously though, it does break my heart to see great loal talent run into the ground, then discarded purely because the manager has no idea how to get the best from them.

Booker and White are irelevant (they do what Slade says)
Whing hasn't been here long enough to care
Cox is a cocky little shite who probably agrees with him
Virgo did something similar
Hawkins won't be here much longer
Forsters last season, so who cares
Murray - see Hawkins
Hart - see Forster
El Abd - who gives a shit.

The rest are from Stockport

if they're as professional as you find joel unprofessional, then what does it matter what they think. they should all just lump it right, like you wanted joel to do?

Fair point.

I don't understand this anti Joel Lynch vibe. The kid clearly has talent, he worked his way up through the ranks, eased his way into the first team, played out of position for the good of the team and then finally when he is establishing himself as a regular he finds he is droped for Colin Hawkins. I'd be pissed off too. The bloke wanted to play and a club a division above gave him the chance. Yes he engineered it and quite frankly so would I have done in his shoes, he deserved his chance. Was/is he a bit arrogant, inpatient and up himself? Yes, he is a f***ing kid, all kids are. We should have been helping that development into maturity. I see this as a failing by the club, not the player and ultimately it's the club's loss.

 

[The Large One]

Do you know what they think then?

Not a clue, but others assume that they are perfectly happy to see him back just because Micky isn't there.

I don't think anyone can assume that.

I do know of at least one on that list how wasn't impressed with his behaviour last season.

i think that might have been The large One's first choice 'good solid professionals' 11 for next season.

Shit, no Bob Booker in the side, hang on, he could play at left back.

Oh dear.

Well, at least the players will care a lot more about their work colleagues that than facile assessment.
