He's the only player I can remember who made a 4 year contract feel like a 14 year one.I don't see it as that much of a bad thing, he can come in and watch a few games and see who he wants and who he doesn't.
If their contract is up he can try and offer them a new one, if they are under contract he can tout them about a bit to sell them on.
It's better than if we were full of people on 4 year deals like when we had David Bell!

What a waste of space he was. You could almost set a clock by him and it would be be one good game from him for every four or five matches.
And yet he linked up well with Keogh and scored a blinder at Wimbledon...but that was about it!He's the only player I can remember who made a 4 year contract feel like a 14 year one.

Yep. Far, far too infrequent, yet the guy clearly had skill.And yet he linked up well with Keogh and scored a blinder at Wimbledon...but that was about it!
And where does Lameiras fit in there?Keep:
Contract Offers:
- RCC - I still think under the right older keeper he could prove himself.
- K Thomas - Think we've not seen the best of him. He's only 21.
- Beavon - Unless we get a decent offer, I like Beavon and think he'd stand out in L2 with a more attacking team.
- Turnbull - Should be good enough for L2 alongside a more experienced CB. Only 22.
- Jones - As above, but two years younger.
Sell (or keep if they're willing):
- Stokes - I reckon he'd find a club above us though.
- G Thomas - Like what I see, could be a real breakthrough season for him next year at a lower level.
- DiKE - Still learning, would keep as back up.
- Bigi - Think he's good enough if he can do it regularly, though might feel he can get better elsewhere.
- DeKE - Worth keeping on for another season.
- Haynes - Still think he's useful to have around, give him another year if he's willing.
Sell /Release (regardless):
- Harries (£500k)
- Stevenson (£1.5m)

And where does Lameiras fit in there?
Possibly...but on the other hand he just might mesmerize them.....would hate to see him move to another club and be given the free role he deserves to truly appreciate his skills.I'd release him, don't think he's cut out for L2.

Very tricky fast and raw, young whatever you want to call it looks better than reid to be honest.I wonder if Kyle Spence will get a look in?
He looked very raw when he played, but was quick and very tricky.
Think his contract is up in the summer. Wonder if we will offer him another one?
I think he played 2 at times and often just 1 up front.need to go back and watch highlights of the robins era. remember exactly how we played. didnt we have 2 dms? baily and jennings. or did he play them 1 at a time?
About time Lameiras showed some consistency. Gets crowded out and sidelined too often for my liking.just went through all his results. we tonked some teams didnt we?!
he got alot out of baker and mcsheffrey which gives me hope he can do same with lameries and g thomas.

If I remember correctly Jennings was the destroyer and Bailey was the energetic playmaker in the two holding. Can see Stevenson playing Bailey's role but not sure we have a Jennings type?
Look you want a team for promotion, don't keep these players and Willes, Stevenson will be sold, Lets start again and build a team from back to front. You all keep on about players you want to keep = none not interested in keeping any losers.

picking 6 or 7 players that could be part of successfull team is not a bad thing. still 13 odd places to fill around them with new blood!
