He’s the link up man between the defence and midfield. We require someone like him given we play on the ground and from the back.

Your eyes are just remembering what you want to to back up your preconceptions.
Sheaf will be signing. Robins said we had an obligation to buy himThis will be a great signing , it will also ensure we don’t have to play sheaf as much , we are in danger of him playing enough games to trigger us having to sign him
It would be horrible to pick up a young (a year younger that Jordan Shipley)developing midfielder in a key position whose development would turn us into an attractive passing team for a modest fee.This will be a great signing , it will also ensure we don’t have to play sheaf as much , we are in danger of him playing enough games to trigger us having to sign him
And ignore the very good stuff presumably.Hmmmm, once again... I watch the games I see what he does

Hes not urgent enough and too casual... For me it's never been the sort of player I want as a holding midfielder, I prefer the kante, makelele type holding midfielders.Just the way I like my players
Sheaf has good stats on paper, but when you realise 95% of his passes make Sammy clingan look adventurous then his stats are a bit scewed... I often wonder Wether he looks sideways when he walks, or does he have to turn back after walking 5 yardswho knows
I dont at all, you're just not happy with my opinion of the player... The other day I stated clearly he was nice on the ball and given 5 yards to think he can do lovely things with the ball... However that's not always possible in this league hence his casual play can see him put us up shit creekAnd ignore the very good stuff presumably.

That’s just not true.
You already hit the nail on the head, you like players with little legs.

Well depends most of the match for him should be played straddled between halves unless were getting dominatedYou'd hope that given the position he plays
He doesn't understand that
Something very ironic about bemoaning a player occasionally making a mistake that leads to an opposition attack with a McFadzean display pic.I dont at all, you're just not happy with my opinion of the player...

He's the same age as Tom Bayliss who can barely kick a ball in this league. He'll learn.I dont at all, you're just not happy with my opinion of the player...

I'm willing to forgive him if it's one of those Leicester tracksuits they tried to iron the badge off and sell on to us.

We're terrible for righting off young players in this fanbase, Sheaf's stats are already particularly impressive, among the highest in the whole league for what he does, once he learns to cut out the mistakes he'll be a player we could only dream of affording.
Adebola was in a very different age, Mickey Adams probably had them running up the nearest hill in pre season. We now work on a statistical modal that analyses what our players do, feeds in to our tactics and also our recruitment. This is the model that has got us two promotions and it has identified Sheaf as a player that suits us. I agree with all that. You're of course entitled to disagree but if your argument is 'it's because he kicks it back I can tell' then its not much to go on.Sometimes, people just don't rate certain players as much as others... I accept you think he's great... You simply have to accept I don't think he's that great at all... In the same respect I don't think dele adebola was very good but many city fans loved him, such is life
You know someone's argument is fully rattled when they revert to laughing emojis all over the place.
Kitching is a cracking talent tho, FGR are my local side. last player they had off them was Pinnock and he did more than alright!Barnsleyona have signed FGR defender Liam Kitching instead

I liked Jacob Murphy, some city fans didn't... I like fadz... Some city fans don't...
That's football
We've already established him surrendering possession in his own half a few too many times as being 1 reason I'm not so sure on the lad... Ofcourse you are ignoring that... Many times the ball forward is on its not played in favour of a simple backward or sideward pass, this stops forward momentum and allows opposing teams to regroup, he's absolutely guilty of this... He needs to use his seemingly talented brain and be a bit braver, which can often be what separates average playmakers and very good playmakers... There is nothing flawed in this thinking, I'm sure Robins also at times gets irritated in how slow we are at building up play and sheaf often plays a huge role on thatAdebola was in a very different age, Mickey Adams probably had them running up the nearest hill in pre season.

Not automatically if we were to be relegated , he would not and if he only played very few games he would not , the obligation would be if we stayed up and he plays a certain amount of gamesSheaf will be signing. Robins said we had an obligation to buy him
Of course he has more passes in his own half.
In the same way that McFadzean has more passes in his own half and Godden has more passes in the opposition half. That's where they play!
His job isn't to play in the opposition half, it's to break up play (which he does - more tackles per game than anyone in the squad) and play a simple ball to start an attack (which he does - second highest pass completion in the squad)
Obviously he has a high pass completion
So we know he doesn’t lose the ball, wins the ball, plays it forward, basically all we’re left with is “I don’t like his running style”.
Our Barnsley friend rates him as do all the other Barnsley fans. Good enough for me.John Stones and Danny Drinkwater are premier league winners, and I’m telling you James is the best player we’ve had in the last 15 years, that’s how good he his pal.
No we know he Completes alot of passes, he could make 100 passes a match, give the ball away 10 times in awful areas and still have a 90% pass Completion... What's you're argument?
The quoted forward passes were also from league 1
This lad that we are to sign has worse stats than sheaf this season.... Do we now assume he's a weaker player?
