Alonso has done well since Christmas. Still can't defend for toffee like.

Probably we will be stronger if we can find both left and right backs that can defend.

We might be stronger if we could find either left or right backs that could defend.

Surely we'd get him Monoprix-contract agreement?

Mirror this morning had Cardiff after Eagles for £2m

Thought I'd better update y'all from Dortmund (we're off to the Westfalenstadion tomorrow)

Fair enough, tbh,

He was clearly pissed at the fans doubting him, in an interview last week. Nice enough player who 'does it' about one game in 3. If we can get £2m for him AND keep CYL for next season it'll be no bad thing.

Personally I think over a season in this league Eagles is more effective than LCY......

Be a mistake to let Eagles go. None of the midfield/frontmen are perfect all the time. The guy can play, isn't afraid to shoot and does score. Will we get better for what we can afford to pay? Doubt it.

I think he has been ... WHEN he performed and in the early part of the season for sure.

LCY has taken a long time to come back uo to speed, but I'd take him over Eagles for next year.

I also wonder whether Eagles was impacted by the sacking of his mentor.

If we're in the Premiership (unlikely) then I'd happily sell. Too inconsistent for me at the highest level. Good player at Championship level, where his many off days don't have such an impact on us overall. LCY is a better player for me and should get better. I don't expect Eagles to get any better or consistent.

I think that's also my view - and I was encouraged to see something of the old CYL returning at Bristol - particularly his apparent lack of fear over tackles and collisions, which (I hope) means he can play without fear - in the way he used to - making stuff happen - trying stuff...

Eagles - it seems to me - can turn a game - but equally, he can drop his head quite quickly...

not that i am desperate to lose either of them!

My view is that LCY is a fantastic worker, good technique, competent finisher and a decent creative player.

Eagles is at his best direct, a goalscorer and capable of going past his man.

For me at championship level Eagles will win games for you more than LCY.

In the premiership it's a different matter.

well - you may be right - you may be wrong - I'm not of a mind to be so dogmatic given the lack of evidence...
(also - I'm not sure it is fair to compare "Eaglesathisbest" with LCY - you should compare Eaglesathisbest with LCYathisbest and at the same time ask who is athisbest more often...)

Eagles will have more goals / assits than cyl. Thats where its at. Be a mistake to sell IMO. Unless he wants out.
