Was told ages ago Bayliss will end up at Chelsea, can’t see it but it’s a funny
Well counting young Thompson we currently have 4 CBS yet just 3 experienced centre mids one being 37
Except if you look back thro the player ratings there is a common thread that he is clearly talented but does not impact the game enough - which might be partly down to the talent level of those around him. In other words he was not making a decisive contribution to the game.I think he'll be more important later on down the line than Maddison. Might not have the stats to back it up against him but he's so effective to have in your team. We wouldn't have been promoted hadn't Robin's given him a chance last year.

still have a 37 year old as a main man and I like him, I like Shipley too but, Westbrooke is an unknown quantity,Hiow does that work? So you include Thompson in our CB main 4, who has only featured in a handful of first team fixtures but then decide to exclude Westbrooke, Shipley, Bayliss from our main midfield 4 - all of which I might add play/can play in the centre and actually have first team experience or similar to that of Thompson.
I am in a minority but I have always thought Bayliss was worth much more value to the club as a sale than as a player

Agreed, some of his link up play with and to set Andreu onto the Scunthorpe back line was immense. Their left hand side was chasing shadows at times.I'd have to disagree with those ratings then. The game isn't as black and white as goals and assists, I think the movement he makes and the way he draws players along with him, the way he links up is such an effective component to the way we play. He's doing all of that out of position.
He's 19 and is only going to polish up the sides to his game which the fans notice, e.g goals, assists.
He'll be a blow to the way we've played since the turn of the year and his input will need replacing.
Even if we do they won't be as good as Chaplin would have been, or Collins would have been or......................................Would have been nice to get one or two more in.

I'm more concerned about defence. Chaplin or another striker would've been nice but another CB would've been a priority. Still time to be announced yet.
Hart went for 3 and a bit million didn't he? So about a 20th of the cost!It has when england number two is available for less than half that
It was like playing with10 men as the season drew on and there is still the loan window to come.Letting McDonald go without having a replacement immediately lined up is utterly bizarre.
As of now he would be our 4th choice so do not see the issueLetting McDonald go without having a replacement immediately lined up is utterly bizarre.
The issue is what if Willis isn't fit for Saturday? Leaves us with Davies and Hyam as our only two senior centre backs. 3 senior centre backs isn't enough for a full season, we desperately need to get someone in on loan early next week.As of now he would be our 4th choice so do not see the issue
Just thinking that. Cue "SISU plant Bayliss stories to reduce fan expectation of signings" conspiracy theory!Bayliss staying even though he was probably never going anywhere makes it feel like a success.
He's not Englands number 2 or 3 for that matterHart went for 3 and a bit million didn't he? So about a 20th of the cost!
Does anyone think it would have been nice to have abit of communication from the club saying they expect it to be quiet atleast! Been on edge waiting for a 10 or a big departure all day!

True, 4- or 5 maybe? The biggest and saddest impact of foreign players in the Sky Premier League is the deterioration in quality of English GK's. Oggy would have gone to the World Cup this year if he had a time machine and could be 30 again!He's not Englands number 2 or 3 for that matter
Notice the use of the word immediately. Rod left over a week ago and no-on has come in. That to me shows that no-one was immediately lined up.So tell me, how do you know that Robins hasn't got someone lined up?

So you're saying that no-one should ever be sold unless we have a replacement immediately. Now that would be bizarre!
Why get rid of a player when it's going to make you short in that area and you have multiple games to play before his replacement comes in? Not like we got a bid we couldn't turn down for himSo you're saying that no-one should ever be sold unless we have a replacement immediately. Now that would be bizarre!
You are scraping the barrel for a moanWhy get rid of a player when it's going to make you short in that area and you have multiple games to play before his replacement comes in? Not like we got a bid we couldn't turn down for him
We had replacements already though?No, it’s about being sensible. We’re now in a position of replacing a permanent contracted player with a loan player.
