Sadly, it didn't happen. I hate it too, its a shite excuse. Frustrating because when he's on the ball he looks competent but then he takes a second too long and we're back on the defensive. Hugely frustrating. Malaury Martin was similar. Kind of annoying because its like making the same mistake twice. Consecutively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different strokes, different folks tho. If that’s the way you want to twist what i said it’s up to you. I’m delighted that a youngster has got in the team but anyway you look at it it can’t be a good thing for McEnuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Apprentice Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 39 minutes ago, David McCaig said: On reading the story Le Mans want him on loan, can only make a small contribution to his wages as they are part time and want the option of a free transfer at the end of the season. Seems like at best we would be paying 90% of his existing wages before he returns for pre-season next year. I think the most important thing for us now is to get him somewhere and playing regularly. At the very least he is in some sort of shop window and the hope is he does well enough to get himself a permanent move somewhere else before the end of his contract. The longer he stays festering in the reserves without playing the harder it’s going to be to punt him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two names been touted on here, the former even made it to EEN where Barry Anderson stated we weren’t in for him. So no surprise there, but that was one of the rare ones that the media mentioned.

Rick Sanchez Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I only seem Damour in the Sunderland friendly and he looked uninterested and going through the motions. He clearly doesn't want to be here. Hopefully this first bit of transfer speculation makes a couple of other clubs takes notice for a better deal or save more on wages.

Some players manage it (Olly Lee) others don't. I wish we'd been able to offload him much quicker, but best of luck to him. I reckon he'll do well back in France. Technically he's a good player, the speed the game is played at up here wasn't suited to him. It happens. Buzzing the wage can be reinvested back into the squad. A good post in the most part but if there is anyone, and I mean literally anyone who has ever came to Scottish football and been unable to adapt to the pace of the game it was Olly Lee. The slowest player I think I have ever witnessed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first couple of games is where it should dawn on you what is required in respect of the pace and nature of the game. It’s the wake up call. It’s like an injured player coming back after a lay off. They may be lacking match fitness or sharpness but you start to see how they assert themselves because they know what’s needed.

gregzy2k7 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Great news! hope this loan goes through, Loic just didn't do enough for us, whatever way you want to slice it and if we can save even a little money then it's better than paying his full wages, would like us to try and shift Popescu and Robert's too if possible.

Agree to an extent aye, but I think his attitude has been all wrong and he's completely failed to get the head down and work hard to adapt. I think he thought he was too good and rather than work hard to adapt he just downed tools and probably expected things to happen for him. Was willing to give him another chance based on his pre-season form but if someone is actually interested I don't think we should take the chance and so the quicker he's away the better I would say. Also, Olly Lee was pish lol. Edited July 27, 2021 by Batistuta87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC_92 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Seems to have been reasonably highly rated at one stage, making a handful of appearances for Everton a few years ago. He's barely played any first team games at any level since then though and his two loan spells to the Championship both saw him play a couple of games and then get bombed out completely. It seems unlikely he'd be able to slot in and make an instant impact if he signs, but hopefully our new recruitment department are good at their jobs and can see potential in him.

Norm Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 My predictions if he signs, going by that article. Having played in the EPL, he'll be hyped to **** on here, but will end up getting ripped a new one as it turns out he's not actually World class, within a month. The new Sean Clare. Couple that with the "tough time with injuries recently" and the absolute stickon that he'll rupture his cruciate and be out for 18 months before we get to Christmas.
