Bobby Thomas to Sheff Utd ? (38 Viewers)

[Evo1883]

Looking at the stats , kitching doesnt excel anywhere over Thomas , who also has a better pass completion ..

I dont get and never have understood the Thomas negativity

If we can get Hughes in and cover to partner Kitching the defence is starting to look really good.

 

[CovValleyBoy]

Since when has Bobby Thomas become “not good on the ball” and why have three posters on the same page said this?!

He very often mis directs his pass. Surely you have noticed he has an issue with not finding a team mate with what appears to be a simple pass. Great for a few goals tho'

Can we offer them lati instead

Yep agreed. Its atleast once or twice a game.

He had a higher pass completion than Liam kitching last season , just .. but still

 

[Macca]

Have we decided whether this is a consolidation or gelling season yet?

Lines up with Patrick Bauer being spotted in The KFC earlier today.

Sell for 8 and buy 2 to replace I suggest hyam

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

This won’t go unnoticed by Dull, they will probably up the hughes price

Not good enough

Of course I’ve noticed! So in that sense I don’t disagree. What he’s usually doing when this happens though is trying to be progressive / on occasions overly ambitious.

I actually think now Grimes has come in, it’s kind of unnecessary to have centre backs that are that ambitious in progressing the ball, hence I can understand a sale for the right price.

I think he’s a better footballer than he is a defender if that makes sense. And in our current system, we maybe need more of a defender and one that has a bit of pace.

If we line up tomorrow with lati and kitching at CB then I guess we know

As does nearly every player in the team.

I fucking hate sheff utd

I think Thomas makes a lot of bad passes that would be considered ‘complete’ by the statisticians. That’s kind of my issue with a lot of the stats used in football in general. I don’t necessarily mind is a player’s pass is incomplete if they’re trying something ambitious that would move us up the pitch but I get very pissed off work underhit/off target passes which put a teammate in trouble.

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Just called Doug king Doug Ellis, he’s almost as bad as Lorna

He just apologised for it, think deadly Doug must have got on the phone threatening a lawsuit

IMO he’s a better all round player than Kitching, both much of a muchness defensively but his goal threat adds a lot for me.

Neither are worth anything like £8m

 

[Matt smith]

Either going to be a masterclass or a complete balls up. No in-between.

Completely agree

 

[StrettoBoy]

I fucking hate sheff utd

C’mon, don’t be so reticent.

Tell us what you really think.

 

[Matt smith]

Lati isn’t fit

 

[jim20]

I would usually say to sell for £8m, but we are already short in this area after selling binks, we need at least 2 more in before he goes, maybe 3 to give us enough depth

His value is what teams will pay tbh

I also think he will keep getting better

Yeah I do too. I’d have been looking to upgrade Kitching this summer to someone that can help him on.

Bee informed by someone at club , Thomas is looking to leave, SO SHEFFIELD BID MUST BE RIGHT

That can't be right? @David O'Day told me earlier Bobby isnt that sort of guy?!

A very strange & unsettling time , behind the scenes . I hope that there are quality signings/replacements in the pipeline , as by tomorrow afternoon, we could be sitting on just 1 point from our first 2 games , after looking at the kindest fixture fall , in seasons .

yeah, i mean this must be true if some random bloke on the internet said it is true

you aren't that stupid are you?

Also, learn to read as this doesn't go against what I said does it.

He’s a better attacking header than Kitching. Kitching wins the ball so much from corners but unfortunately the resulting header ends up everywhere but the goal

I think you’ll find that most of the rumours banded around are simply bollocks.

I'm not to believe this random bloke.on the Internet, but I'm to believe the other random bloke on the Internet making out he's best friends with Bobby Thomas he knows him and his loyalty so well???

His tactical role under Robins was to be more of a ball playing CB that he isn’t. Under Lampard and the addition of Grimes, Thomas gets put in a lot less vulnerable positions because he nearly always has a simple pass to MVE, Kitching or Grimes.

The pass % can be misleading, because if all you’re doing to passing 5 yards to someone, it’s going to be higher than if you make more complicated passes.

As a pair, Thomas and Kitching gel well together and you can tell they’ve played together for a while now.

1 game in and 2 weeks left of the transfer window, don’t be reaching for the mattress protector just yet!

This is another important point. Getting someone in now means changing the defence combination again and we know how that worked out in the past!

I didn't actually say that did I did.

I said I don't think Thomas is the kind of player to noy hive 100%.

If you think that mans I must know him personally etc. then wow.
