Maybe he’ll get real good, but coaches who watch him deemed him probs won’t be a prem regular or we wouldn’t have sold him for 20m. Never scored for us, worked hard but but ineffective for U21s, would barely have played last season even with our injuries; fail to see what evidence says it was a mistake. There are loads with his profile, but you have to be good enough, BDR would barely have played too, he couldn’t get in Leic team. We need someone similar style but who’s good enough. -- SW6.doc

In reply to: eganonoa 's message, "We're free to disagree with the team's reasoning. We scored 1 fewer goal than we did the prior 2 seasons while letting slip a big opportunity in the league & cups. As Ive said repeatedly I believe losing BDR then selling Stansfield was a big mistake. He has the exact profile we needed and still do. Flexible, smart, good movement and reading of the game (in a way that makes up for lack of killer speed, much like BDR). I don't believe his sale price makes up for that. But that's been done to death" on Sunday, June 29, 10:52:26pm

BDR had the 4th most goal contributions in 23/24, 3rd most goals. What happened at Lei proves that opportunity and surroundings matter. Saying "others who see him day-to-day" know better" is just another way of saying "what's the point in having opinions" Alboy-style. And, of course, is irrelevant as others who "coached him day-to-day" (Brum) saw enough to spend a record sum on him. What we do know about Stansfield is this: whenever given an opportunity he's succeeded, scored and impressed (NT) -- eganonoa, Monday, June 30, 11:52:01am (NoHost/217.75.196.3)
- No, it’d because we have barely seen him for FFC so how can you form much of an opinion, you’re comparing him to a solid prem player/scorer (BDR) based on no evidence. I watched him plenty in U21s, he has a lot of effort but didn’t score and didn’t really look like scoring, his replacement scored after 15 mins. I’m not saying he may not become good, but as it stands no evidence at a good level says he currently will, but it’s a small sample size.
