He's ok. Got to be honest, never particularly rated him, even in Stam year 1. Certainly better out there. Looks a Div 1 player to me

Potential is there, he's good on the ball and has a wicked shot, but is far to inconsistent and lightweight. however, with a move he will probably prove us all wrong lol. Personally think he would make a good first division player at a good footballing side, Luton, Wycombe, Portsmouth etc..
As for a transfer fee, this is a tough one, a few years back i would have said $5 million on potential, now i guess $1 million at best?

Perhaps with the Irish link he could go to Nottingham Forest. A swap deal for Matty Cash would be nice.

What would we all consider a decent fee?

In an earlier post i stated this a hard one to price? two years ago maybe $5 million on potential alone, but since then i think he's regressed as a player, yes he has the odd wonder goal in him and can pass the ball well, but there's no killer through ball in him and he's inconsistent. So whats his true level as a player? probably a decent to good first div player at the moment with potential to be a lower chump league player i guess!!
So given McNulty is at the same sort of level then $1 million should be a half decent return?

I like Kelly, he's often suffered from being surrounded by shit players who don't move. But he also hasn't really lived up to the hype and has some fairly big weaknesses.

I want to see him back in the team performing - and he played well alongside the only actually proper consistently good midfielder we had (ignoring Ejaria and Baker), against Utd - but he's probably going to find it hard to come back, so it is probably best for him to move on, and I'd be ok with it and wish him well if we can get good money. We do still need to trim the squad fairly drastically.

It's hard not to value him at his previous potential but you're right. He hasn't been good enough in the last 2 season to ask for much. Shame really. I know it's childish but I would hate to see him turn it around for another team and realise his potential elsewhere.

Are we selling him to the MLS? If not why are you pricing everything in McDonalds notes? Plus the way we're going by March $1million will be about £50.

I am guessing with his avatar being the Seattle Seahawks logo, he is probably in the st8s and might not have a £ on his keyboard?

Quite.

Much like the A4 paper argument. Everyone uses A4, except the US :roll:

But since DT has made the US great again they don't need to worry what we think of them ...

Aussie here,

Regarding the £ symbol... You can use the alt code if you have a keyboard with a number pad on it. Alt Code is : Hold ALT + 0163 on the number pad.

I don't have a number pad, so I need to copy and paste from somewhere, or use the windows character map.

He is one of those players suited to a slower more tactical league (the Premier League for example) but muscled out in the Championship. A loan to a European League is the answer.

As it seems we are not going to the Prem any time soon a decent offer may sway it.

Brentford I think would make a real fight of staying in the Prem as they have too many of this type of player (as do Swansea) however they struggle at this level. Only team they can beat comfortably is us, as they do it better than we do
