If we have an academy player that has the potential to play for England, he should be getting games somewhere to continue his development. He shouldn't be stunted as a 4th choice centre half where he'll likely get only a few minutes playing time.
Why is it when we do something good, it’s that they didn’t turn up, rather than we were good and didn’t allow them to?
They say they didn’t turn up because they expected us to be walkovers like we were under Dyche and Lampard and Benitez and...
It's a signing that doesn't seem to make much sense for anyone involved. Burnley had a great defence last season and Walker won't improve it. They'll go down so it won't enhance his England claims and I doubt that they are paying much in wages...
As a comparison of the 4th/5th choice CB at other mid-table sides (not direct as some play 3 at the back):
Bournemouth = James Hill (never heard of him in my life)
Brighton = Igor (crocked) or Eiran Cashin
Brentford = Ben Mee
Crystal Palace =...
As I said in an earlier post. A younger player who could fill the CD position and DM would have got plenty of game time over the season,not just been a squad filler and bench warmer. This contract just shows our new owners aren't interested in...
How often is this going to occur, though? I accept the fact it can, but we're not in the position as a club to go around with 4 fantastic CBs. Not even City can afford that luxury. That Uzbek fella looks like a deer in the headlights every time...
Alright, then, let's hope we sign 18 year-old Douglas from Santos and see what happens when he's required to play ;)
Horror shows are horror shows at the end of the day. I'm struggling to fathom why some folks would accept one (or several) from...
Dependent on who we bring in at RB, I genuinely believe he'll get under 5 starts all season. I mean, even one of Tarkowski/JOB will be rotated. Moyes is a classical and doesn't historically rotate his CBs.
Who would you realistically want as 4th...
