sked21 Posted January 21, 2008 Not so sure... I wasn't a huge fan of his the last time around - but then I wasn't of Mikey either. It's strange though - Robbie plays a half decent game on Saturday (give or take the odd stray pass) - is he worried about his starting position I'd take Maybury over Robbie tbh - but that's not really saying much. I would take anyone over Robbie. AN-Y-ONE. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamboAl Posted January 21, 2008 Pretty much - however, he probably IS better than Robbie. Dexter, you're not really sure, are you? You emphasise the word "is" but also use the word "probably". My view is that the guy is too small, suffers from red mist, runs about like a headless chicken and too often allowed the ball to run out of play when running up the wing. Apart from all that he is nearly passable. He implies that coming back would suit his girlfriend. Wow! That's commitment for you. Seriously if we can't do better than that we should leave Robbie where he is - at least it allows continuity in the defence. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ryan Gosling Posted January 21, 2008 Oh my god! If Maybury is the class of player we are looking to sign that is awful, yes for a left footer playing right back he was good, but that was years ago, cant get a game for Leicester should not get a game for us, ROBBIE MUST STAY ROBBIE MUST STAY !!!!!!!

Diego10 Posted January 21, 2008 There's certainly no point rushing things. If he's training it will give Frail a chance to see whether he's the player he was or not. which was a decent right back, nothing more than that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Diego10 Posted January 21, 2008 I'd be delighted if we could get a decent RB. Maybury was the last one we had. I thought he was alright. Better than Robbie, but not great.

Jam11 Posted January 21, 2008 Bring back Barassa ....even knackered he's better than Maybury Dont joke about things like that, might give someone an idea! All for Mabs to return, we need players who can come in and be better than what we've got and he fits the bill! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maroon Mayhem Posted January 21, 2008 The reason he's not been quoted by Leicester is that Martin Allen didn't fancy him when he came in and placed him on the transfer list, they had about 2 or 3 enquiries from lower league clubs but he didn't want to move. This has riled the owners at Leicester and even though he started to get somewhere under Ian Holloway things have broken down. He still made about 100 appearances (mostly under Levein) and only fell away under Allen so I think some of the comments have been harsh for a guy still under 30. I'd take him.

cosanostra Posted January 21, 2008 He has a better first touch than Neilson, he can run with the ball better than Neilson, cross better than Neilson and is better than Neilson defensively. He's just better all round. No world beater but better than what we have. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Setter Posted January 21, 2008 Always difficult for a player to return and try to live up to previous standards and expectations however at his age and ability he would, at worst, be a competent squad player and would certainly give Robbie a run for his money (or take it like candy from a baby). Looks like Tall is going to be leaving soon so that doesn't leave a great deal of cover for FBs. Anyone seen Jason Thompson play recently? Its also another experienced player to help bring on the younger members, we dont appear to have many left in the team right now. Hope to be saying "WELCOME BACK MAYBURY" soon!!!!!

Setter Posted January 21, 2008 DC92, think you can update your signature, think we may have found the ideal CB pairing of Berra and Karapidis!!! ;o) With Maybury taking over the RB position all that is left is to see if Wallace can hold down the LB spot or Conclaves is able to sort out his issues and start playing like he can on a regular basis!! Then its just the other depts that need sorting out!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CMc Posted January 21, 2008 Remember Neilson was linked with Newcastle and Rangers? Bizzare. He was part of the best defence in the league at the time. Without Elvis holding his hand he struggles. Unless we set the team up to take advantage of his long throws (get Ruben and the CBs in the box) I don't see what he gives us. As for Maybury I think his unorthodox style put a lot of people off him (including me at first). He always seemed to back off until the player took a bad touch and then pile in. Speedy Gonclaves has a similar style. Not good for the nerves but Maybury made it work. We need more experience in the defence. Could work out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frankblack Posted January 21, 2008 He is just the type of player we need. The fact that Robbie couldn't get a game for us when he was at RB says it all. Only with him switching to LB did it allow Robbie back into the team. I was more disappointed when he left than De-Vries, who I felt was going downhill before he left. He is available on a free, so would be the kind of player we need - he could even replace "bombscare" Goncalves, if needed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I'M IBRAHIM TALL Posted January 21, 2008 Why not give him a deal until the end of the season. If he doesnt break into the team or is mankey, dont renew it. If he does a job offer him a year or 2. We cant really lose to be honest. He likes it up here and his missus is from up here and he cant buy a game for Liecester so it might be on his interests to burst a nut and win a deal.
