He's an absolute class act. For some reason we are still trying to hide the fact by giving him 15 minutes max even when losing to a league 1 side. Still probably won't be in the squad for Saturdays game.

Being out of the cup, means his chances will likely be limited to shine again until the FA Cup, unless Scott is being earnest in that quote.

It’s been long overdue some sort of justification for playing him irrespective of any factors. It can’t be far off some sort of a list of the world’s most expensive footballers with so little back in return. Any other club long down the frog & toad without a look back & a complete erase of memory.

Of course I’m a dysfunctional robot. You could enlighten me why I’m wrong & you think MT represents good economical value for money I promise I’ll let you back into broadmoor under careful supervised permission.

Hard to understand why he isn't on the bench now. Humphries can cover left back so no need whatsoever for Pires to be there as well.

Hard to understand the last 2 years with this lad tbh! By all accounts he did more in the short time on the pitch from an attacking perspective the other night than everyone else combined.

He certainly made a positive impact when he came on Tuesday night
I can only assume there are mental or physical reasons that he does not get more game time
When a manager does not think it right to start him against the likes of Cardiff there is clearly a problem

Hes worth a spot ahead of Barnes and Edwards.

Definitely infront of lazy can't be arsed Edwards

Great to see him recovered from his illnesses. The only way is up!

I'm so pleased my word is finally catching on.
I was so proud when I came up with it, but nobody else seemed to be as impressed with it as I was!!

It was obviously a slow burner, bit like the actual Tresorection!

There’s never been a doubt Tresor has talent , but a cute 15 min cameo against a knackered div 1 defence, showing incredible selfishness not passing with an impossible angle , giving the ball away etc hardly shows the 2nd coming .
However he appears clearly very capable at this level IF he can get himself fit and sharp .

There’s clearly reasons he’s hardly ever near the 1st team . I’d like to think it’s just niggles and the consequent setbacks this does to the elite fitness required at this level . Then again he might just be a lazy b@r steward who is too much of a luxury ?

He's pretty much the only one in our squad around the box who could find a pass in a tight area to set up a goal. Cullen can do it, but from deeper.
His assist record is phenomenal, not in the Premier league granted but at the top level in the Netherlands and Belgium. And he's shown it here in the 8 times he's had the ball in 2 years he's looked to create nearly every time. JBL, Edwards, Barnes, Pires and Broja in his current state, shouldn't be keeping this lad off the bench in the Premier league.

Bizarre how after his last cup winning performance he’s deemed not good enough to start for the second string. Parker said he would be loaned out after that Derby game, I assume the only reason Parker has hinted at the door being open is because he’s stuck with him, he’ll drag it out until January with more pretending he’s got a chance to play then try get rid again.

He will never really be given a clean slate or an opportunity here under Parker, I think that’s pretty clear now. An insult to magic Mike that he’s sat there watching that dross for 80 minutes.

Yeah, it's worth remembering that. I'm sure we'd all love to have a previously unused Prem-standard creative player already on our books. But Parker isn't leaving him out of the team to spite himself. It's almost certainly because he's not at a physical level to impact a Premier League match.

The gulf is huge for a lad who's at peak fitness and just played 46 games in the Championship, let alone someone who's not been fit for years and was never one of these Olympic-type units you're up against now anyway. I'd like to see what he can do but my guess is he'd have a lovely couple of touches and then be absolutely blowing out his arse after 5 minutes and never get near the ball again.

Sorry I just couldn't see it the other night.He is very expensive sub and why we'd start him ahead of Ash who always puts in a shift is a mystery to me.

He doesn’t do the hard yards side of the game so won’t play, same as Edwards. Looking at the start of the season Parker only trusts 14/15 players in his squad to do the required work.

Looking forward to his 90th minute mazy run into the box to slot in the winner at the Etihad on Saturday

If we could get him in and around the first team on a regular basis he could be the perfect substitution.

It's blindingly obvious really isn't it. Although a club legend AB best days are well behind him and he's 4th choice striker. We are going to need goals alongside our workrate and defensive nous. Who would you bring on with 20 left to unlock a defence. Barnesy or the assist merchant? Was only only the pitch 15 minutes and looked a class above on Tuesday.

AFAIK he hasn't been on the bench for any of our PL matches. If that's true one can draw one's own conclusions.

Like tons of other people there have been plenty of occasions over the past couple of years when I've thought I really don't know or care what's wrong with the guy, we just really need to cut our losses and get rid. However, if he's now fit, willing and able to play I'd welcome him back to the first team squad with open arms because he's clearly a talent and we're going to need all the talent we can muster.

It’ll be FA Cup third round day before we see Tresor again. And even then it’ll be a 10 minute cameo.

In fact I’m so confident that if he makes a since start in the EPL (or five sub appearances) between now and December 31, I’ll do a ride for charity ride from Genk (via his two previous clubs in Holland) back to the Turf for the last game of the season.

Let’s call it the Tour de Tresor…

There wasn't many positives to take from Tuesday night, so I had to find a couple of straws to clutch hold of.
It came down to levels of fitness, and Broja and Tresor, both looked considerably fitter and stronger than in the previous round. Broja's touch was better but not good enough to get him on the bench Saturday.
Tresor's play was good enough to get him on the bench, but probably not away to City as I'm expecting tactics similar to the Liverpool game, but after that who knows.

"I am the Tresorrection and I am the Mike.
I couldn’t ever bring myself to track back as you’d like ........."

I actually like Magic Mike.

It somehow suits him.

How sad is it that I've even had to go back to last year to prove to myself that I wasn't actually lying!!

Sadder than not giving Parker enough time to prove himself?

This is the Tresoresurrection and his name is Mike.
I couldn't ever bring myself to hate him as I'd like.

Now is the time to get him involved in the first team match day squad again.

Being paying him a kings ransom long enough for next to bugger all I couldn't agree more.

Have we all accepted that he was never refusing to play now?

I didn't realise it was. Who is disputing it?

I've always maintained he's been as a fit as a fiddle.

Has to be worth a place on the bench based on the other night. Offered a lot more in 10 minutes than most did over 90.

No one can tell me he offers less than most of our bench not to be included in our match day squad from now on

We very rarely use all 5 subs. After this weekend we have a few easier games and may be provide the chance to get him on the pitch for 20 or so minutes. Nothing to lose

One dream, one soul
One prize, one goal
One golden chance is all he needs
The waiting seems eternity
The day will dawn on Saturday

He is a kind of magic
Mike’s a kind of magic
Mike’s a kind of magic

Agree. You're not going to get any better games than Leeds at home and Wolves away for him to feature.

Conversations & discussions usually happen when people quote posts & counters happen to & fro. If you disagree with my opinion it's adult to debate that or if you lack the intelligence to do that please feel free to ignore me. I've consistently maintained that I believe MT has been as fit as a fiddle from the moment he turned up at the club it's not something I've suddenly adopted.

Happy Friday Jakub. I wish you a peaceful night on the wind up. Good evening.

The club has included him in one of those Instagram clips where they ask daft questions to individuals, it was who will have the best physical stats in fifa.

Sounds like nothing but it's the first time I've seen him being included on anything like that since his first season. We've basically hidden him away from all media appearances from what I've seen so it just struck me as unusual to see him speak.
