Burgess leaving for Spainish side ?

[hallamblue]

Rumblings on twtd that he's on his way in the simmer ( and not just on holiday). Big shame if he does.

[marko69]

Is it a Gibraltar team he's going to, Hallam? Sort of "Spainish" but not quite?

[Bluemike]

Good, we need massive change.

[hallamblue]

Linked with a La Lega club apparently .

Also likely to lose all our strongest defenders , O'Shea, Axel, Burgess, which means well be stuck with the crap we had before

[EveryoneKnowsaDave]

O'Shea in particular deserves better than the Championship

[Bluemike]

Keep O'Shea, Greaves and Townsend and get shot of all the other defenders

Quite surprised to see your posts Mike. I'd say that assumes that O'Shea and Greaves wish to stay and/or don't have teams after them. If we do lose one or both, then Burgess is a very good Championship defender.

Greaves over Burgess, Mike?

Have to say, I think Greaves has been poor - maybe hair getting in his eyes, he needs to get it cut the long haired git

[Bluemike]

Greaves has been poor but for me without question a better defender with more room for improvement. Burgess is very inconsistent, sometimes good and championship level other times error strewn and League One.

[Cabanas Blue]

Burgess played 90 minutes in three of Towns wins this season but was not in the squad for the other win, it won't be easy to find a left footed defender to take his place without spending plenty.

[Bluemike]

I actually think he'll be replaced pretty easily

[ITFC2024]

In fairness, all of our defenders have been inconsistent.

[Bluemike]

Indeed, we need a massive freshen up in that department and stop the sympathy vote for some of the old guard, inconsistent players have been a massive part of our problem for some time now. It really cries out for new faces.

inconsistent players, inconsistent coaching, or a bit of both?

Quite right BM we have to build a squad for if we get an auto-promotion back to the premiership 3/4 of the current squad will have to be shipped out
