none showing any signs of considerable drop off in performance and wouldnt expect it from pickford for some time.
walker on the other hand is massively in decline. he should go back to sheff utd, that's the level he's at now.
Young 39
Keane 32
Doucoure 32
Begovic 37
Calvert Lewin 28
All getting released
That leaves us with 4 players over 28, hardly Dads army
Coleman 36 (wont play much)
Gueye 35
Pickford 31
Tarkowski 32
Learn from what?
Unprofessional behavior?
How to be really quick?
How to pass the ball to Silva? De Bruyne? etc etc
Every single time Seamus Coleman gets brought up by an ex player or manager in the media all you hear from them is about how...
Gough did? Really? That’s suprised me that. I know a lot of players must have been doing it over the years but I never would have expected him for some reason. Based on nothing other than me thinking he was a model pro tbf
Gough loved a stripe 🤣 (apparently 👀)
FWIW, it would be great to go and get a brilliant RB who we keep for a decade, or sell on for more money in a few years, but we’ve got so many positions to fill to do that for all of them would be difficult...
Gough was a proper pro, looked after himself and even at 38 when he played for us, he was as fit as anyone in the team. Smith desperately wanted him to stay for another season, but he went back to the States, like he promised his family he would...
IMO last seasons stats seem to suggest otherwise and at 28 he will only get slower. Pace was the main aspect of his game as even when he made mistakes (he makes quite a few) his speed dug him out the hole. I watched him a few times last year and...
Lost his legs from what I can see. His pace was all he was about now that's gone he's a journeyman. There are reasons he's being moved on. Defo should avoid, when will we ever change!
