I still hold out a feint hope for Henriksson

Think if we hold on to him, he will be an excellent goalscoring midfielder in League 1 in a year or 2, and will kick on from there 😉 

There's a player in Henriksson. Unfortunately he's behind Cantwell and Morishita in that #10 role at the moment. He needs more game time.

Understand Rovers trying to land Alebiosu Mark 2.  Whether as back-up or replacement remains to be seen - the target is Daniel Oyegoke.

he`s not up to this level of football,val can`t put him on the pitch because he`s a walking yellow card,in the fact he runs around like a lunatic fouling everyone because thought wise,he`s a yard behind the speed of the game,it`s a damning indicement of him that sidnei and deneve have received more game time than him and those two ar`nt good enough either,we need to offload all three imo

LOL if you think we spent £4.3m on Tavares, De Neve and Henriksson.

Considering the edit is in the post you quoted, this is a baffling response.

Much like it was a baffling statement.

They play different positions - he can't really come on for the same players Tavares and De Neve can come on for. Tavares has one highlight in 4 months of football - a lovely interception and assist for an Ohashi goal. That's very worrying and I can't see him being here much longer.

Maybe he is terrible, but I've seen enough to give him a longer leash. Granted Baradji looks significantly better already (and can play multiple positions in Midfield).

Based on his cameo against Millwall and what i have seen earlier i wonder if shifting him to being a "back to goal" striker might be the answer. I agree he seems to have some playing ability but is way off being abel to play the "10" role in the championship (imo of course)

That's like "Alebiosu, he has been good" lets get someone of exactly the same profile"

 

English ✅

right back/wing back ✅

of Nigerian dissent ✅

came through Arsenal academy ✅

had 6 months playing for Hearts in Scotland last season ✅

playing on the continent ✅

cheap (he has only played 8 times in his year at Verona, and only three times this season) ✅

 

Scarily uncanny

It was wrong, yes, and I'd admitted that I got mixed up with something else. My apologies.

Think we'd be fortunate for lightning to strike twice. Alebiosu has been a revelation but I expect another cheap punt will end up closer to the Tavares/De Neve/Henriksson category.

Be interesting to see where O'Riordon fits into all that now.

On the bench, as Millers deputy.  Litherland has done more than enough to keep his place at wing back whilst Alebiosu is away

I wasn't suggesting for one second he will be anything like as successful as Alebiosu, just a long list of similarities, most of which have next to no impact on his ability

Maybe that's "the data" these days 😉

Lets hope it's the future formula for more positions.
