Ian Royal Be disappointed to see him go, but he's not quite the complete player.
He drives us forward well, but too often into blind alleys and he has a real tendency to blaze nothing shots high and wide. He's not the best positionally in defence either. I think Tish would do fine in his place. Maybe Evans but he seems to be more a deeper player.
I'd want £2m - £3m for him if we could get £4m for Blackman

Mr Optimist Adds up when you think of George Evans coming in and the Spanish geezer on trial.

marlowukSnowball People rave about his energy.
And rightly so but (unlike Stephen Hunt, who also had a lot of energy) Danny's energy has the effect of energising the whole team and, for that reason, I would be mega-disappointed if we lose him. And, although he is a fiery character who is not afraid to have a go at his team-mates if they under-perform, I don't think him as a disruptive influence within the squad. When he scores the rest of the side seem delighted for him and he also seems to delight in someone else scoring. My main concern about him is his discipline, although I don't think he has received a red card during his time at Reading(?). But, through the middle, he gives the team its drive! Man of the Season so far for me!!!

Snowball136 Huff and puff calls attention to itself, can often flatter to deceive
His career stats are over 20,000 minutes for 15 goals and 7 assists total
That's about either a goal or an assist every ten games
Admittedly, this season is better (and he might be peaking)
5 goals and 2 assists in 2615 minutes (374 mins, 4+ games)
Last season he had ONE goal and zero assists in 32 appearances (2,493 minutes)
IMO he causes far too many flowing moves to break down. We get a 2-3-4-man move, it reaches Williams who often then goes on a run which seems purposeless, a sort of Sunday-football mentality. It was very similar thing with Blackman
of course if he's ever-present and keeps going on runs, taking shots, he'll get SOME goals but THE TEAM would probably get more team goals if he played in a way that slotted in better. I mean by that it's like having 9 outfield players plus Williams, not 10 players with the same group goal

genome I could rationalise Blackman and Sa leaving. Not this one, he's my favourite player in our squad
