Duff's '5' work hard up and down. If he can get the extra work and concentration needed from Sorba fair enough. I wait to be convinced but would be happy to be so.

Not sure where Sorba will fit in a Duff team. However, despite the criticism from AB, I thought he was our best player last season and tried every week.

Has he shagged your mrs or something? Chill out, there were far bigger problems behind the scenes last year than sorba, don’t make him a scapegoat. He’s probably our best midfielder and most dangerous set piece asset.

It's Sorba IN for me . Once the winning as a team comes back (which it should in this league) , he'll thrive on it . He'll start playing as he can , and the better he gets , the more confidence he'll get back..

He'll start playing as he can , and the better he gets , the more confidence he'll get back.. And the more assists, breaks and hopefully some goals of his own as that’s an area he really needs to do better. No reason he can’t improve. It’s a cliche but you’ve gotta have the right environment for these players. Firm but understanding modern man manager. Get all the old pros and young upstarts and the egos and the ones who don’t have enough ego! Get them all playing in a simple system that works and playing to their own and each others strengths. I’m hoping that this culture is what Duff is embedding in the players again. Leading from the front not just leaving it to so called senior players.

He’s probably our best midfielder and most dangerous set piece asset. He isn’t a scapegoat as there are 2/3 others that need to go along with him. Let’s see where he is come then end of the window shall we. We need to build a promotion squad that don’t have the attitude of him behind the scenes.

Sorba was an integral part of the team that almost got promoted to the Prem and Carlos wouldn’t have played such a bad egg. Perhaps he’s been pissed off by a long line of incompetent managers we’ve had since and even last season amidst the chaos he was one of our best players who never lacked effort on the pitch im not letting Andre’s deflection press conference be a realistic hallmark of all the players characters and im not as confident as you that we can attract a player of better quality to replace him in league 1.

He could have all the ability in the world, but sadly with his attitude it isn’t going to take him far. Just my opinion though, let’s see how it develops.

I don't understand why Town are apparently valuing him at just 1 million quid when even the transfer markt site has him valued at 4.2 mil and says he's under contract until June 2026!! I suppose he's only worth what someone is willing to pay but I thought it would be more than that!!

If the Club want to move him on they may have set an attractive price to entice a few buyers.

I personally want to keep him and if we were to sell him, I'd be wanting £3m+ for him. I feel that Breitenshiter's comments have damaged his valuation an awful lot more than was necessary as well as making many fans think much worse than him despite his performances last season and how many times he worked his socks off.

It's what happens on the pitch that we as supporters judge players on, not what goes on in the dressing room. Sorba was our best player last season and doesn't deserve the negativity that is dished out on his plate.

Get him sold and spend the coin on a good player just watched a clip of Marc Leonard vs Manchester United F.C U23 - EPL2 - Individual Highlights on Youtube it's just 1 game but by hell it's a cracking show from him. It's well worth watching.

How does your prior response align with what you were replying to, given it was in reference to a formation that doesn't have 'wingers'?

It's well worth watching. Thanks for highlighting that clip, you can tell that he is very comfortable at that level by the way he receives & lays off a ball, which will be very useful for our Play-Against-Premier-League-Clubs'-Kids Cup campaign. He would have looked terrible on loan with us last season & games would have bypassed him, but with the players we have now, the new midfield ought to compliment him well, should we want/get him.

Have you not listened to any interviews about sorba? that warnock did for example etc ? its not basless that at all that, he has bit of an ego on him. heck just listen to him during interviews. He comes out with some corkers of " look how good i am statments". Like i have said his ego blew up after the Wales call up, for whatever reason he changed post and have never come back down.

Warnock was laughing when he said it, it was said quire affectionately. Breitenreitshite was saving his own reputation. Ever thought there is 2 sides to every story? I've said it before, Thomas isn't the brightest and maybe a bit of a cock, but a decent manager would be able to sort that. Also, for some strange reason, a section of our moronic fans have targeted him for online abuse. I hope he stays and produces the goods on the pitch.

There is 2 sides thats the point, not that Sorba is blameless and has done nothing wrong. Some people would have him kissing babies and curing world hunger ffs . The idea that he is blamless for managers saying things and even himself saying things, then people going nope there is no substance i mean come on. He is a footballer and yes he is a decent one, but not the next coming of god or messi. He is a decent player in what was a poor team the last 2 years out of 3. If he takes every set play he will get aissts , but i think people get wayyy over hyped about Thomas. I have never seen so many people leap to other players defences in the past its just strange.

Maybe it is a reaction to posters wanting to slag players off with very little evidence that they deserve it. Sorba is our player and the more support he gets the better he will play. Maybe that is a better way to support your team.

I support any player who plays, but what i also am saying and its true , is do not turn a blind eye like nothing at all went on last season.It was obvious for all to see last season just was not right. If Sorba is here next season then he will get support like every other player. The further point i was showing was that far better players than Sorba have had dogs abuse from fans, without others leaping to their defence. Sorba currently is a Town , support will be given its a given, but he like all the others have to be team players next season if we are to do well.

I think for the sake of Sorba's career (& his agent's bank balance) he needs a move away from Town.
I think he will struggle to fit into a 352 system, he isn't a good enough defender for this - he can't tackle or head a ball & twice yesterday Harrogate exploited the space between him & Turton, when in truth they didn't get forward all that much. He will be competing against the best RWB in League 1 last year & it was noticeable that he didn't take any set pieces while he was on the pitch yesterday either.
Coupled with some fans' complete inability to give him a chance, I reckon it would be good for both parties if he left the club, especially for his best interests.

Sorba has posted that he is in France today. His mrs has also posted that she is now on annual leave. Seems strange for a town player to go on holiday now. Assuming that he’s going for a medical somewhere maybe?
