I was merely pointing out those stats suggest he isn’t mediocre. I presume he would have started around as many games (in midfield) last season as he has this (ie to cover the time it took Tronstad to get ‘acclimatised’ to the English game). In terms of his requests for moves/ his unhappiness, we’ve only heard JDTs version of this - and to be fair to him I don’t think he’s made any comment suggesting LT has been a disruptive influence because of this. I’m also perplexed by the fact we’ve only loaned him but comfort myself with the fact we’d probably not have reinvested the sale funds anyway. I think there are probably only two reasons we have only loaned him: 1. No one was/is willing to meet our valuation 2. The club our hedging their bets that our next coach will want LT in their team. The blame for everything at the club is always because of our owners but that doesn’t mean others don’t shoulder some of the responsibility as well. In this case maybe it’s JDT or maybe it’s LT - in all likelihood it’s probably a bit of both.

Thank you for such a considered and detailed reply 👍

I’ve never known you to be on the fence before. Thanks for the reply though.

Out of interest, how close (points wise) to the bottom 3 would we need to get for you to start worrying? For the record, I agree we’ll be okay because of the players who are due to return from injury.

Outrageous!

Thanks for the reply. Just to be clear, you still think he could be a PL player but only in a team which plays a different style to us?

Keep your fingers crossed but whatever you do don’t hold your breath.

What happened to your opinion that Travis could play in the premier league?

Because you disagree with him.

He started 39 league games for us last season when we finished seventh. He clearly isn’t mediocre.

I was thinking more in terms of when we’ve had a lead but were clearly tiring.

Less than 20 miles from his home town.

The goat and the scrote.

£5 million is chicken feed to a Premier League club.

I thought I’d strayed onto a movie thread for a minute 😁

meh

Do you think someone like Luton would take a punt on him?

Looks delighted

Or perhaps JDT has become more stubborn. Like you say we don’t know and it’s unlikely we ever will. I’m still intrigued as to why it’s a loan and not a sale though.

I don’t think he should be but I do think he should have been brought on more often recently.

They may have looked elsewhere first though, clearly we’ll never know.

Russell Martin’s move to Southampton is showing that ‘the right way’ takes an awful lot of money.

Would Luton have tested our resolve if TK had still been first choice?
