Millwall have offered an contract to Matt Smith, but which one Chris Kamara?
I don't know Jeff, I must have missed it 🤣🤣9 -
There is a brilliant bit in Keith Peacock's book about exactly this. Gavin was obviously a good football but they worked so hard on his game to make sure he wasn't just neither one thing or another.Exiled_Addick said:Albie is a very neat and tidy player and his work rate is good, but at the moment he is a bit of neither-one-thing-or-the-other type of player. He doesn't get enough goals or assists to be classified as an attacking midfielder, doesn't make enough tackles or defend well enough be a more defensive playmaker, and I don't think he has the physique to be a modern box to box player. I said it before, but he reminds me a bit of the young Scott Parker in that respect. There was a lot of expectation around Parker as a youth player and he was an attacking midfielder at youth level who got a lot of goals and assists. He struggled to covert that into the first team, though, and eventually (very successfully) reinvented himself as an all action but predominantly defensive midfielder who loved a tackle.Albie needs to decide what he wants to be (play deeper or more advanced) and then really focus hard on either improving defensively or getting more end product in attack. This isn't a criticism of Albie, he's well ahead of some players his age, but it's what he needs to do if he really wants a good career. The game is littered with tidy midfielders who don't really influence games and have so-so careers (Christ knows we've had plenty in recent seasons) but ones who really get a game by the scruff of the neck are the ones who stand out. I think Albie can be that way, but he has to improve and at 21 it's getting around the time when you want to start seeing that step-change from him. Next season looks a big opportunity for him - perform and he could well find himself a regular for us in the Championship too. Have another decent, but not standout, season and he might get left behind if we get promoted (assuming we do get promoted - big if, of course)1 -
This is very true, but I feel you should go on the next windows list early 🤣Scoham said:
Of course he’s staying with them, how else could we take him on loan on 31st January 2022?Cafc43v3r said:Millwall have offered an contract to Matt Smith, but which one Chris Kamara?

I've heard the club have been in talks with a lot of the players over the past few days. Some are to be kept and some are going to be let go. Announcements coming today.13

There are three guarantees in life - death, taxes and Charlton loaning Matt Smith at the end of the January transfer window.Cafc43v3r said:

Oooops - I may be four months late with this one then

I wasn't impressed with Kirk in the recent game at the Valley. Seems a bit lightweight and indecisive.0

Something that has always bothered me... If your last name is Smith, why would you call your son Matt? Could at least try to give him a hint of individuality!Scoham said:

No offence to any of the 12 Matt Smith's on this board.4 -
I thought their midfield was made up of Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets for the majority.mendonca said:I wasn't impressed with Kirk in the recent game at the Valley. Seems a bit lightweight and indecisive.11 -

Kirk is the sort of player I hope we are looking at.Done well in the league, young and with loads potential to grow with us.13

Kirk, Dale and Lowery are definitely the three Crewe are going to struggle to keep hold of in the summer. Might be a fair bit of interest in jaaskelainen too. The club are keen to grow on the impressive season they’ve had, so will fight to keep these top players, rather than cash in (although some of these are out of contract soon anyway).mendonca said:I wasn't impressed with Kirk in the recent game at the Valley.

Yep, just saying that I watched him closely in our game V Crewe and was not impressed by him, in that game.
I think we will be prioritising a left footed midfielder/forward, as we do not possess a single one. Without JFC this season, that does make play more predictable and impacts balance.

Jordan Graham - released by Gills, another winger we were linked with in Jan.
Had a great season and was really highly rated by Wolves as a youngster but plagued by injuries, could be worth a punt on a free.0 -
Imagine he's been released because he expects to move to a higher clubMaccn05 said:Jordan Graham - released by Gills, another winger we were linked with in Jan.

Hopefully its because he's aiming for the likes of Charlton and not a move to the Championship2 -
Connor Ogilvie & Jack Bonham have also turned down their contract offers from the Gills, meaning they are now free agents.Maccn05 said:Jordan Graham - released by Gills, another winger we were linked with in Jan.
