I agree there may be better out there, I’m just saying it’s ridiculous to be so confident that he’s no good for this level.Scoham said:
He wasn’t that good that I’d be in a rush to bring him in. There are other options out there, we may be able to sign better.ElliotCAFC said:
Amazes me some people wouldn’t want him at this level. League One is utter shite, he’d excel at this level.Garrymanilow said:Andre Green would be a decent enough signing at this level. He's only just 22, and with Bowyer clearly wanting to play with more width we desperately need more wingers coming in. We've only really got Doughty and Washington at the moment so an injury to one of those either puts someone like Oztumer out of position there or means a change in shape. A good season in L1 playing in his natural position could be just what Green needsHe wasn’t that bad playing out of position in a terrible Championship team.
A full season under Bowyer would do him wonders.I wonder if the people who think he’s rubbish are the same people who want to sell Bonne ASAP.0 -

True. But I don't think we'd sign that sort of player after a takeover. There must be two lists of targets for each scenario.golfaddick said:

i'd take Green, i think he will do ok. Looked ok at the start when he joined in a higher division, there might be better out there but i wont be too disappointed if we get him back. Sometimes different circumstances can change the way he plays, if Bowyer/ Gallen got him back i am sure they will get him up to scratch and working for the team.
*beggars cant be choosers0 -
Green is a proper, possession based footballer. He would be an excellent addition to a side that plays proper football. He's the kind of player we should be moving towards if we're going to build a side beyond the often incredibly turgid crap we play. (No bash on Bowyer, it's a squad limitation).1
-
Green should be good in theory at this level. He just does not work hard enough for a Bowyer player. If you look at Leko, whilst many here derided him, he worked bloody hard and made a nuisance of himself. Green could learn a lot from him in this respect.2

I think the biggest problem with Green is that nobody (himself included) really knows what his positions is. He's not really a centre forward, but he's not a winger and he's not really an attacking midfielder. He sort of just gets put in a position where nobody really knows what he's supposed to be doing and everybody is hoping a moment of magic.
He needs to spend some time at one club, rather than moving about every six months, where they can work out what his best position is and the give him the right coaching to get the best out of him. There's definitely a player in there, work out his best role, give him an actual job to do and then let him do it.3 -

Bowyer signs players with the same mentality he had as a player.
You have to want to give 100%. Attitude and desire are everything.
Bowyer had a good look at him when Green was on loan.
I'd be surprised, despite the player's undoubted ability, if he was to be signed again.

Probably worth asking the Portsmouth fans what they think of him at this level0

lol just because he has been used in different positions doesn't mean he doesnt know what his position is, or even management. Its kind of needs must and he worked better up top. He might want to play in a certain position but sometimes not alot you can do if you have the qualities (pace) to play elsewhere. I haven't seen him enough to say where his position is but im pretty sure he would know or even have the confidence where he wants to play.randy andy said:I think the biggest problem with Green is that nobody (himself included) really knows what his positions is.

Wasn't impressed with Green, he just didn't really do enough.
Workrate, pace, strength, positioning, I expected him to really excel on one of those attributes from the off and I never really saw it.
But you never know, maybe he does just need to 'start again' and in League 1 he would need to be hungry to prove he deserves to play a higher level.0 -
I want us to keep Bonne and sign a good striker to compete with him. Bonne had an end product in a higher division than the one we’re in now. Green to me didn’t have an area of his game which really stood out.ElliotCAFC said:

I’m not saying he can’t be a decent player at this level, I just think we can probably bring in a better player who can make a bigger impact.

have we been linked with green or is this just speculation?0

Whatever happened to that striker on trial from Wealdstone?

Wasn’t green very good at this level for Portsmouth?0

No, Soccerbase has him down as making 2 starts and 4 sub apps in the league for them, scoring 1 goal (against us, naturally).Red_Chester said:Wasn’t green very good at this level for Portsmouth?0 -

There will be smarter men involved than me and you.
So if there are rumours going round of players being close to signing then you have to think outside the box0 -

However it still remains Elliot claims ownership and ESI 1 contest that it was sold. Anyway Boris's new rules mean no footie with crowds for up to six months after Oct 1st so no income . Football clubs will fold and the season will be suspended or abandoned I imagine .golfaddick said:

There is an injunction on the shares in ESI being sold. The trial is to determine whether Elliot has exclusivity to purchase ESI.addick1956 said:
