Tread the post again I've added ironic quote marks.

You are getting on the posters back as if he hates Eccles when he doesn't. I am just saying you do the same to Palmer.(but you don't hate him right)

But you say you don't want to converse with a fan like that?

I'm a Palmer fan , he has great ability and an eye for a goal but he does leave us exposed when we lose possession because he lacks the legs and fitness to track back . When O'Hare is fit it's noticeable how high up the field we press

I get that although I think it's an exaggerated pov at times on here.

I like Eccles. I just can see why someone would say he is a squad player. It's not a harsh thing to say.

O’Hare is a special player. You don’t find many in that position with his pressing and turnover stats.

Fair enough and apologies if I got a bit heated , I get very passionate about our club and dislike ill-judged opinions and comments

Didn't quite think that saying Eccles was anything less than a nailed on starter would be so controversial.

I get there's lots of support for him, local lad and a great attitude. But, we've got to be ruthless. Settling for him as our first choice CM alongside Sheaf will not be enough to compete at the sharp end.

If we go out and spend on central midfielders and he still forces his way in to the 11 then I'll be the first to congratulate him.

I think people have forgotten this is the "transfer targets" thread... which is why I posted in it this afternoon saying we needed a CM. Since then it's devolved into arguing over Josh Eccles' squad status.

With hopefully 5-10m to throw around from the Hamer sale we can surely get something.

What we should be doing is arguing over when to start the Eccles cake song on Saturday and if Swansea allow the cakes into the ground.

Id hope we at least get a loan in. I don’t think any of Sheaf Eccles and Kelly have made it through a season without a lengthy injury have they?

We have to spend a decent amount to replace Gus. Eccles is a good player to have he can provide cover in a few positions and fresh legs off the bench. He has a big part to play this season. Sticking that penalty away under massive pressure at wembley is a great sign of his character

Still think we need a LCB, 2 CMs and a forward. Would be happy with Willock but he’s quite expensive for someone who may not start every game.

Would agree with all of that but Robins likes players who can play in a few positions, think Willock could be the 4th forward if needs be

I’m still happy we willl be excited by the signings to replace Hamer
Fully expect £5m on one player and £1m + on the others. You can get a very very good player for £5m

All gone a bit quiet on incoming signings, I think we still need 4 signing so hopefully club are still busy in the background and the Hamer fee has been made available for the budget.

Oh, and....











No one in their right mind would argue we don't need to replace Hamer and that Eccles isn't as good as Hamer. Hamer is the best player we have had outside the Premier League. But that doesn't mean Eccles isn't good enough or a talented Championship player. And it doesn't necessarily mean he will drop out of the side.

Smallbone at Southampton out for a few months. Would imagine they will be looking for a midfielder too now

You need to calm your beans, it’s not the first time you’ve got personal when someone expresses an opinion that doesn’t match yours.
