maffff
leon If Tyler Blackett commands 1+ million then the entire world has gone insane.

He cost us £1m, would think recouping that would be our target.


+1 with snapping of arms off anyone who offered that!


+2 and I'll pay his bus fare

Problem is we actually need him now in central defence.

He was ok against Stoke.

Probably up there in the top 3 players this season, he's come on leaps and bounds but I think that says more about us as a team than his ability that he's been one of our better players because he is still a liability at times

Certainly rather him than Ilori and McShane, and he's a useful player in the sense that he's versatile. Part of me thinks he would suit Gomes's style because he's composed on the ball but he's too casual at times and this often leads to mistakes. No loss either way to be honest, but he's certainly not one of the first ones I'd be looking to shift

Hound He has been good at CB. I’d go as far as to say looked the best CB in the games I’ve watched this year

Imagine everyone is up for sale pretty much, but he wouldn’t be top of the list of people I’d like to see out the door



Agreed. He's a natural CB anyway and that's where he's played throughout most of his youth career. Playing him as a LB only started when he went out on loan and the manager did the typical if you have a left foot you can play on the left.

Still. I do think we have better and will have CB's (Osho and McIntyre).

There's a player in there, and he could develop in to a better one under the new manager. Will depend on what plans Gomes has for him.

Wigan are apparently preparing a 400k bid. I presume Reading will tell them where to go with that (at least until Reading have sufficient fit centre backs again anyway).

That's a joke, surely?

Can we get a CB as good or better for 400K?

I doubt anyone will be offering big money considering nobody has played well in over a year and our last 2 managers have repeatedly stressed how keen they are to ship players out

but if half-decent clubs like Stoke and Boro are interested

Hes being playing in a team that have generally been bad..does not mean, as others have said, that hes not a player who has potential...you dont play for Manchester Utd, if you dont have something there .....would be a loss to club if he was sold imho..

He has been playing in an unsettled team and shifted from CB to LB to the bench every week. Like most players getting a consistent level of performances requires being played in 1 position consistently.
Unless we have a genuine 1st team replacement for CB or LB lined up, keeping Blackett is a must.

interesting that its a third bid. You'd think if we weren't considering we'd just tell them to do one and they wouldn't come back

Guessing that he was brought up in the NW, he might be keen on the move back.

Agree it'd be a loss, but not a massive one. Still too many mistakes in him. P

Anything less than £800k on offer and we should block their phone number.

How much did we pay for him? Was it something like £1.5 million. The offer made is derisory.
If McShane and Ilori both go then I think we need to keep him.

I consider McShane and O'Shea an irrelevance to our defensive situation.
