wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I wouldn't be bothered if we weren't playing 3 at the back and if we weren't relying on a full-back and a midfielder to bump the CB numbers up. But then it's not like we've heard great things about Stubbs. Link to post Share on other sites
Old Codger 3,039 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 On the subject of ex-academy lads...nice to see Alex Pattison in the Championship with Wycombe...thought he was one of those that we could have hung onto a bit longer 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Duvel 2,446 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I know a couple of lads who played against the Boro in preseason last summer and they said Connor Malley was outstanding and the best player on the pitch. This was a game where we had a few first team players playing as well. Does anyone know anything about him? I was expecting him to be on the fringes of the squad by now.

Ultimately though if the manager thinks that the CM (who used to be a CB tbf) and RB (Whose physique always seemed a bit out of place at RB) are better than him even when they're out of position it's not really a ringing endorsement for Stubbs. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I know he was very highly regarded by Woodgate, but not much more than that honestly. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

IIRC some ITKs said last summer that the management team were hopeful Malley would break into the first team over the course of 19/20. Link to post Share on other sites
AllBoro10 2,232 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) Could be absolutely nothing but gonna share it anyway. Wasn’t there a poster on here suggesting They had heard Lansbury on a season long loan? Well Britt has just shared a photo of Lansbury on his insta story. Obviously they could just be mates from there time at Forest but you never know, could be more to it. Probably nothing though Link to post Share on other sites

Malley should be top of the loan list get him out somewhere where he can get 30-40 professional games then next summer take a real look at him. Sykes and Hackney can hold down the U23 midfield in his absence. I'd guess if we get 2 strikers in we'll loan Walker out, O'Neill I'd just let go he'd probably end up at Darlington or somewhere in the non league but he needs to get his career going. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie-H 1,322 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Quote Another player on a dwindling contract (June 2021). A lot was expected of Henri Lansbury last season, with some touting the ex-Arsenal youngster more of a Premier League-type player given his range of passing. In his two big-league starts, though, Lansbury - who turns 30 next month - failed to perform and evidently lost Smith's trust. Villa are actively seeking a new No.8 to rival John McGinn and Conor Hourihane in midfield, while the emergence of Jacob Ramsey, 19, has pushed Lansbury even further down Villa's pecking order. The ex-Forest skipper, though, remains on a meaty per-week contract after a bump-up following promotion. Championship clubs are interested but cannot fork out the midfield man's wages. Lansbury hasn't played much competitive football at all at Villa and, currently, remains just one of the boys in and around the training ground given his popularity. That's the Birmingham Mail take from yesterday on Lansbury he has a year left but is on hefty wages after promotion putting off the Championship clubs interested. I'd take him myself got a wicked set piece and is different to what we have there. Link to post Share on other sites
DevKWat 2,365 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I thought Malley was a creative midfielder not holding, surprised he hasn’t been given a chance yet Link to post Share on other sites
