If I were an agent for unconvincing ageing directionless crocks of players that nobody fancies, I would have Charlton Athletic on speed dial. Is it not true we spend a shed load of money on agents fees?
Southend and an unnamed American club also in for Pratley.
Player at that age and stage of his career - you get the chance to live in the US for a couple of years....... mls versus league one. Reckon then would go for mls every time
Poyet was awful in his last spell with us - almost invisible.
Agreed, however he was total mustard in his first season, that kind of talent doesn't disappear. Hoping Bow can reenergise him. Still has potential to be class.

Player of the year under Powell, rubbish under fraeye or whatever he was called!!! Worth a trial and some u23 games
Could be wrong but most the games came under Riga's management in first spell and think it was Riga again in 2nd spell. Won't disagree with you though, I'd defo take a look.

Excellent in the Powell/Riga half season
Decent but unexceptional when on loan to MKD (under KR), then vanished under Fraeye and Riga
But then there have been a number of players over the last few years who have been great for a short period of time, but not for more than a few months
Igor was great for a couple of months under Bob Peeters. Watt was great for a few months under Luzon.
The big question about Poyet is he any better than the players we have coming through? So frustrating that LB has not been mentioned Dijksteel as a potential DM.

Dijksteel would be my choice in midfield but I assume there are no funds to buy a RB
Don’t think there’s any harm in taking a look at Poyet, nobody is saying we are giving him a 5 year deal and that’s doubtful to happen now Meire is gone.

If anyone can reinvigorate him it's Bowyer. Look what he's done with JFC. Although Poyet needs to sort his attitude out if he is to improve. I'd rather have Cullen or Pratley for a year though.

I disagree with JFC, I don't think he improved at all under Bowyer from what I saw. He had some decent spells last season but that was under KR.

Yes, while Bowyer was assistant and working directly with JFC.
Port would block the progress of other young midfield players who at their stage of development look better than he did at the same stage.
Could they come into the team and make the sort of impact he did (which was in the Championship)? Bowyer doesn't seem to think so, saying Maloney and Lapslie aren't ready.

Yeah fair point, to be honest I am not a huge fan anyway. IMO he is a decent League 1 player and that's it.

Jason Pearce does a good job, but we lose drive and organisation when he's not playing.

“Dawks is in, he’s done really well,” added Forster-Caskey.
“He’s been brilliant around the place."
Nailed on. FACT!
Probably cos of his Dad he has the footballer lifestyle already - the girls, holidays, cars, money etc.
Maybe cos he already has a great life he is already happy with that. He seems pretty happy with life from his social media.
