There are too many stories doing the rounds on here - some credible, some shite - that would not allow me to be so confident in agreeing with that.
I daresay the story will come out eventually.
Point of interest - would Lynch have asked for a transfer request if Hawkins had not come along?
I'd say, looking in from the outside - it can't be ruled in or out.
Both have their qualities, both have their downsides.
Hawkins is solid, robust, strong in the air, reliable.
Lynch is quick, alert, good in the air and comfortable on the ball.
Both are prone to f***-ups, sometimes expensive. What's fairly clear is that they are different types of defenders...
Lynch did play after his first transfer request, and he has been on the bench.
That's hardly indicative of someone who does not feature in the manager's plans.
I wasn't at Northampton, and am perfectly happy to accept that Lynch had a good game. That's not my point.
The only apparent issue is that Adams has chosen not to start Lynch - for whatever reason, and none of us on here are party to those facts - but so what? That in itself is not a reason to...
