Genuinely not fussed about not getting KWP. Would love to see Moyes make a player out of Patterson and fill that role of covering both full backs. A back four of O’Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite and Mykolenko is solid. Yes, in an ideal world we...
For me KWP is the kind of trap we've been falling into for years and I'm glad we've avoided it. You end up counting down the days until the contract expires.
So you'd be paying a full back that has been playing at the lower levels of the PL an above average wage. That doesn't sound sensible and seems a lot of money to me. Around half of that is where he should be.
Well there’s fairly obviously a problem with the way you’re presenting it to be fair, in that I don’t know how I could make it clearer that I don’t disagree with the idea that he’s a decent prospect who could progress. As I’ve said numerous...
It depends what you think of as ridiculous I suppose. You brought up the example of Wharton, who cost £18m. Is that ridiculous? Would Hackney cost less?
Again, the whole point was whether it would be ‘underwhelming’ not whether he was a decent...
It does, but I’d have to say I was more impressed by Wharton and he was 19 when he moved not 23 so the difference is actually pretty massive in that sense. Like I said, it’s not that I don’t think Hackney is good or that he couldn’t be a good...
I’d find him a bit underwhelming. I’ve seen a fair bit of him and I wouldn’t say he’s screamed top class player. He’s definitely decent and could be as good addition, but he’d need to step up another few gears to be a genuinely good PL player and...
