Decent bit of business, donā€™t know why anyone would be upset about it

Good statement from McEntee as well

I know the jury is still out on whether heā€™s a CB or a midfielder, but I think heā€™s showed how good a player he is in both positions, if youā€™re a good enough player you can play anywhere, as long as the manager gets the best out of him.

Thatā€™s all really great to hear Iā€™ve never heard a player being so loved up like that before .

I like the guy, in either position. Heā€™s 22 and shows a lot of maturity for his age. Plenty of potential for further improvement as he gains experience as well.
Very pleased with this.

Heā€™s a good lad, with potential, just not sure if weā€™re doing the best by him.

Time will tell I suppose, like everything at this bloody club these days.

Totally agree, he has shown enough, to me anyway, that he is a step up from what weā€™ve had for the last couple of seasons potential wise.

Who said that? Youā€™re the one questioning my opinion? Not once passed comment on yours, mainly because I donā€™t give a shit.

ā€œItā€™s your opinionā€

ā€œCorrectā€

ā€œBLOODY HELL YOU THINK ONLY YOUR OPINION MATTERS!ā€ :joy::joy:

Yawn at the bollocks, again. I demonstrate, repeatedly, I attend games. The reason you get so worked up at my opinion is probably because they are inconvenient truths BECAUSE I go regularly.

Heā€™s always behind the play, and simply looks uncomfortable there. Heā€™d chip in with headers from centre back as well, doesnā€™t mean heā€™s a good midfielder. Weā€™ve already covered that ground and youā€™re going round in circles.

Itā€™s almost as though that still applies to any other contracts they extend. There no line between that and ā€œoh these lads arenā€™t here for the profitā€ other than people grasping for a narrative.

Pretty sure every football club in the country extends contracts. Doesnā€™t mean we should be writing off the possibility these lads are trying to make a bit of money.

No!!! Itā€™s a sign that Ben Boycott is the second coming, backing a managerial master stroke from Sadler, turning a once promising defender into literally Pirlo!!!

Now drink this Kool-Aid

Itā€™s good. I always like when young, promising players get a new deal.

Yes I agree if he keeps improving and finds his best position under good management I expect him to either be in our promotion winning team or a very capable and formidable squad player and part of it .

Already an important player for us, he seems to have the right attitude and can improve. A good piece of business and much welcomed continuity,

56

Iā€™m glad weā€™ve retained him.

Iā€™m with @Blazing_Saddler though. Weā€™ve virtually resigned a whole team. Which is good for stability and gelling. But it does also talk to us all accepting that weā€™re fourth division now. Unless there are some sparkling additions in the next two windows.

I wouldnā€™t hold your breath.

Heā€™s a decent player at this level, and useful in that he can do a job in more than one position. I suspect, though, that if he is to get on in the game and make a step up it is more likely to be as a centre-back than in his current midfield role.
Good news in so far as it goes.

Great to have home signed up as all squads need a layer or tow that can cover a couple of bases. I agree I would prefer to see him at CB but clearly MS doesnā€™t see it that way ā€¦ another price in the gaffers ā€œdownfall jigsawā€

If Farquharson was back, I would prefer McEntee in midfield. He gets around the pitch, has a physical presence and is by no means a bad passer of the ball.

I think he is the sort of player we will look back on with fondness in the years to come.

I agree.

I think any one of our centre halves could run around and be a physical presence in midfield. McEnteeā€™s issue is that he has no clue what heā€™s doing in there, and hasnā€™t got the midfield mindset to make angles, receive the ball and play out, and heā€™s often in the wrong position.

If we are content in being a mid table side in the 4th level - sure, heā€™s fine. But I am fairly sure no side in the top 10 has a centre half playing in midfield.
