He had a pretty nasty injury too. I've had that injury (albeit without the same level of care/physio Wright would get) and it bothered me for a long time afterwards. In fact I still feel it a couple of years later after exercise.
Let's hope he's wanted by a few clubs out there then,it does seem like the time and possibly planned for,tbh I'm surprised both him and Simms weren't hawked around last year for the model to work as it should
I can testify to that and longer in reality.
Not a blow at all.
Blow for Frank Lampard as ‘quality’ Coventry City star could join Championship rivals this summer
That would be a massive blow!eflanalysis.com
Same could be said of Simms, both players are big and strong, but neither can control a simple pass, neither can play with their back to goal, or hold the ball up and retain possession or hold off a defender, and neither are any good in the air.
Every player has a price, but we certainly shouldn't just be accepting any old offer that comes in. He's proven himself over 18 months pre-injury. He's been off it since, but suspect he'll recover after a pre-season. I guess the one concern is that his best games have been off the left. Kind of unproven (for us) up front as a lone striker.
If two of the strongest teams in the division want to sign one of your players, then do you not question the wisdom of shoving him out the door?
ffs it's Graeme Bullshit Bailey againBlow for Frank Lampard as ‘quality’ Coventry City star could join Championship rivals this summer
That would be a massive blow!
I’m inclined to agree. Would still rather he went outside of this division though.
Missed a far easier chance in the playoff game ar Sunderland.
Never stopped them before
Without MVE’s mistake we‘d of been in the final, wright took Ballard out the game for our goal in the 2nd game and the header wasn’t easy, wrights a quality player and we need to keep him,
I think we could do better for the squad if we get a good offer.
Josh Sargent would be ideal.
Salech from Cardiff would be my punt as lines up to the model and considering he has the highest aerial shots per 90 in the league, I think he could do a job for us
...Sargent would easily cost £15-20m. What planet are you on?
Wright isn’t a LW, He got 12 goals in 27 games Would have got 20 if he wasn’t injured, he played exactly the same last season but nobody said anything ? we haven’t struggled up front all season, we’ve struggled at the back all season
Even if we sell Wright for £15-20m there's no way we're spunking it all on one player. That would be double our transfer record.
I do agree with OP, that he’s better off the left. We saw it last season and I think he looks lost when playing up top (Sunderland hat trick aside)
Struggled up front all season? We were 4th in the league for goals scored!
After his injury he played 4 games down the middle, and Scored 4 goals,got moved back out to the left for the last 6 league games and scored 1 , where would you say his best position is, ?
The two Sunderland games appear to have completely broken some people’s brains.
3 of them in one game though so it does distort things a bit
I think this is more role than position. I think his best games for us have been on the left when he drifts into the centre as almost a second striker.
