from cambridge united website matt somner will stay at cambridge for another month

here
 

matt somner

Will be playing in the conference for them next season I think .

Would cambridge have to buy him off us or does his contract end at the end of the season??
 

matt somner

He is available on a free. His contract is up at the end of the season when he would be released.

MA is doing him a favour by giving him the chance to earn another contract elsewhere b4 the end of season rush.

Good luck to Matt, he always did his best, always gave 100% and often performed well.

He deserves a career in football and hopefully he will get it at Cambridge.

People always seem to focuson what a player can't do rather than his trenghts and Matt has been another victim of this trait.
 

matt somner

they seem to be playing him in midfield or at left back :shrug: i always thought hed make a good centre back personally
 

matt somner

He will be another Booker in my opinion - able to play in several positions but maybe lacking that extra something to make him a guaranteed first choice.

I agree that centre half is his best position as he is good in the air and has an excellent positional sense.

Just a shame that he lacks a bit of height and pace but his other attributes will be enough for him to prosper

I will never forget that Swindon player on loan from United (god rest his soul) get pass him like he was not there

Think he is at his level of ability, not quite big enough to be a top-level center back but lacking the pace or (with all respects NLB) the positional sense to be a wingplayer. But an honest pro and by all accounts a good guy so wish him the best.

So did many right wingers when he was played at left back (he must still have nightmares about Wycombe away aswell). I thought he played his best games for us when Wally used him as a sweeper with Sonko and Roget (may have been a friendlies), he looked more than useful with a bit more time to see the game.

Very perceptive, NLB. And not the only one on our books against whom that particular observation could be levelled..... :fishing:
 

matt somner

Somner was like a lot of that bunch that Wally had,bit of talent,bit of potential,but never that final spark which makes top quality players
 

matt somner

May be controversial but I thought perhaps that Matt could cover at right back whilst O'Connor and Dobbo are out. Would much prefer him to Lawrence...
 

matt somner

Yep,that's controversial......and b***ocks.Lawrence was fine against Walsall,no trouble with him if he keeps playing like that,and by having Matt out that's one guys wages we're not having to pay

Lawrence was fine against Walsall 'cos they were sh*te, i agree with paying one less guy's wages though.. bye, bye Jamie!! :wave: :wave:
 

matt somner

watch this space he will be playing for Farnborough Town very soon! FACT
 

matt somner

Matt was a good player when he was given the chance, but people only seem 2 remember his mistakes.
Just wanna wish him luck where ever he may end up!! coz he was brentford through and through and a top bloke that always had time for the supporters.
