Title: Some will laugh....but..
Post by: leefer on Friday, June 10, 2011, 19:11:52
It is a long shot but i am really hoping PDC will talk JPM into staying for another season with us.
I really like watching him when he is on song,alas not often enough.
Now i know he was dire in the main last season but someone like Di Canio may get the quality out he most surely has.
What do you think people,any chance at all of him staying?

Depends if he feels partly responsible for the shiiite we have been dropped in

Call me old fashioned, but you'd like to think that some of them have a guilty conscience

deffo keep, an on form JP would easily be one of the best players in L2, when we bought him he was leading the assists charts in L2, he was top in L1 season before last.

get somebody for him to aim at in the box and he'll find his form, PDC will not let him get away with lackluster displays, hopefully JP will want to play for him too

Said it before and I'll say it again. JPM had the best 'footballing brain' in the squad. He is a yard quicker spotting the pass than most. And he can make it too.

But when off form he doesn't make passes, plays within himself and goes missing a bit.

I'd keep him though.

Only quoting the star. It says Wilson is set to anger blades fans with a £400,000 bid for jpm who spent two years at bitter rivals Wednesday. Sounds unlikely but not over far fetched.

Saw that,though to be fair JPM did play and score for the Blades while on loan there in 2002.

Didn't know he was on loan at united so maybe their fans would accept him unlike Wilson. If jpm is rated as going to be one of the best players in div 2 especially with his goal assists record,he is probably worth it.

no will ever pay 400k for JPM ever.

Unfortunately for 2.5 out of 3.5 years here he has been shite. He is also one of the first to go missing. He's got a brain and a good eye for a pass but is a bottler and I don't think he was very fit last season. Any fee for JPM would be good.


Title: Re: Some will laugh....but..
Post by: Notts red on Friday, June 10, 2011, 20:41:03
I'll be happy if he stays with us and gets top goal assists next season, would be worth that much to us if helps to get us straight back up.

I'm with Leefer

You can't make shit players look good for a whole season. But you can make good players look shit for a whole season.

He'll be out of contract this time next year so will be worthless.

Post by: Notts red on Friday, June 10, 2011, 20:53:07
He was frustrating to watch this last season but when he didn't play I think we often missed him. Just wanted him to stay out wide and do what he does best.

Exactly. We are all presuming that we will do well this year and with JP playing on the right wing in a good team with confidence then he will shine again. I'd keep him.

Time to go. Certianly would have looked to keep Cuthbert before JPM.

DV, you say Douglas went missing, but JPM goes missing more than anyone when things get tough.

If Wilson pays money for him then that would be very nice (would have to admit it would be a sign Wilson is losing it a bit if he did put a big bid in).

most creative player we have. Always have rated him as he has loads of ability,but he doesn't do it enough.
Goes missing too much at times. If he fits the wage structure we now have in place i'd give him another chance. Play him wide right and only there and we should get the best out of him. Could be a real force in league 2.

I'd keep him if he is up for it.

I would keep him for this year, he's got quality, especially at this level. At the end of the season, we see where we are and we'd go from there regarding his contract. He was unplayable at times the season before last. Great crosser of a ball. Saying that, I dont know where he's gonna play if Caddis and Ritchie are gonna be playing on the flanks.

I'd keep him and let him go when his contract is up. Too comfortable when his contract isn't getting close to the end.

They all went missing, ergo I still think we should get rid of them all.
