I guess it would leave us with a bit more depth for the remainder of the season. Wilson-Esbrand not really up to speed yet so might come good
I’m just waiting for a sneaky Tammi Abraham bid if we cash in on Vic.
Love the lad and I’ve got no doubts that you will too.
Evening lads,
FWIW I really like Jay. Firstly he’s a real loveable lad, your fans will warm to him pretty soon I’d say. Always plays with a smile on his face… gives 100% etc.
Secondly he’s a quality footballer. Technically one of the best players we have. Very good in tight spaces to get away from his man with his quick feet.
But, like most players at this level he does have some flaws. First one is the obvious one, he is only 5ft7 so opposing teams do target that. Another one is his pace and being able to beat his man by getting to the byline. He’s not very quick and for a modern full back, you do need that.
The reason we’re letting him go is probably for financial reasons and that he’s not getting ahead of Cam Pring at moment. He’s on a big wedge, coming from Chelsea youth we signed him the same summer as Palmer and Kalas.
Having said all that, it’s hard to believe that he’s still only 24. So he’s got his best years ahead of him! Feels like he’s here forever. He is also best mates with Kasey Palmer, they were inseparable together here at the time.
Hope it works out for him
Undav came on as sub in cup-tie last night v Liverpool, maybe one for the summer even then won’t be cheap.
He got robbed by Hamer for our winner down there last season didn't heDecent defensively.
I don’t recall anybody really tearing him a new one. He just goes about his business quietly
He needs to work on his forward play if anything. Like I’ve said, he’s great in your own half and around the half way line with the link up play to midfield. But he doesn’t really effect the game from that point onwards.

I think the most important thing if we do sign him is that someone comes up with a chant for him to the music of Rui Da Silva - Touch Me
Swap with Bidwell? From what I am reading they are both defensively minded wing backs. We need a marauding full that can offer something different.
He's closer to where he grew up, and also to where he played much of his career, here than Swansea.
If thats true we absolutely should not sign this lad then. Bidwell is a steady player but we need a bit more in the opponent's half to progress. To sign a Bidwell understudy with similar capabilities and shortcomings as Bidwell would be a poor decision.
