andy123 Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 Thomas is an attacking midfielder doesnt do the defensive job. McKenzie is more defensive so totally different players so hardly matters which player is better 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steppskillie Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 Must be players coming in otherwise very strange move. If there are no players coming in would imagine DT23 as championship standard player will be getting another year extension with Kiilie next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesper Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) From the outside, this makes zero sense... Especially with Millar going back to Liverpool. But the nagging question is why does DT never get a shot, every manager since he signed has overlooked him. Even with an off-form Millar he couldn't break into the team for more than a 20min cameo. Something we're not seeing from the stands? As I think everyone would have liked to have seen him get a chance to show what he can do.

As I think Motherwell assessed him to be when they didn't offer a new contract. And as I think a parade of managers have also assessed him to be. I'm baffled as to why a player who looked miles away from this level anytime he started is seen as some great loss. The only argument I can see for keeping him is numbers, but if more are coming in then fine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story when we signed him was he was a decent talented player but had an attitude problem. He started well when he had Burke coaching him through games but if Burke wasn't there, then he wasn't very effective. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was great in the League Cup group stage against lower league opponents. When the league started he wasn’t up to it. The loan spells did wonders for him but he didn’t seem to do enough to get near the team on his return. This season he probably should have had more game time ahead of Millar. He looked lively at times and did what was asked of him including playing lone striker on a few occasions. All the best to him but I think we need to move on now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pompey Repatriated Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 It looked like he was going to progress with AA in charge, what with the extension, but by the sounds of things all we've seen is the odd flash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
