Lanolin's latest activity

That's a different thing though? Thinking it's better for his development to stay here doesn't make him going to the Championship a waste of time, it just means you don't think it's the right thing. Obviously you'd hope he, his coaches, his...

I don't really see how it's a waste of time? I could get an argument that he should be in the team here (I don't agree, but I could get it) but I can't really understand how going and playing 30/40 games in the Championship would be a waste of time?

I doubt too much of it was specifically because of transport issues to be honest, people have always left games 10 minutes early and it was hardly an enthralling spectacle on Wednesday, but a lot of people will have just wanted to go to the new...

In what way? In terms of style of play I can't think of anybody he looks less like at the moment. Dowell was a player who had lots of natural talent with the ball at his feet and was capable of magic moments but for 89 minutes you could forget he...

All true but came across as a lovely genuine bloke. Means nothing in the pitch but perhaps means some of us have fonder memories

The other point is, which I must admit I didn't consider when I've made points about the bench before, is that if you're travelling with the first team, it often means you're not playing for your own game for the youth team/reserves. So players...

I don’t think we need to go down the ‘he was playing at x level however long ago’ route with him, we paid decent money for him from a top level club, where he was at in the past really isn’t relevant and it just comes across as making excuses...

It’s a really weird ‘memory’ of him. He was basically just the jack harrison of the time, a bog standard winger who did an alright job for the team in his own way but clearly wasn’t actually very good.

I remember the groans every time he gave away possession cheaply. In his entire career he has 15 goals (5 for Everton) and 18 assists (3 for Everton). That's for a winger. That's a pretty terrible record. You were obviously very easily amazed.

If ancelotti had coached DCL to be better then he would have remained better after ancelotti had left, unless he’d had his memory wiped. Ancelotti set the team up to make the most of DCL and he had a short run of good goalscoring form, that’s not...

Off topic in a way but I’ve said before the proximity of the stadium to most RL grounds is exactly why it wouldn’t be a great place for the magic weekend. The whole point is it’s a weekend away in somewhere different, the ‘magic’ is spoiled if...

I think there might have been a hint of sarcasm in that nickname.

I had the luck to be involved in some elite teams and laterally in preparing elite teams in the last few years in different sports, with nothing like the resources available at PL teams. I learned an awful lot from sports scientists, strength and...

What a strange way of saying ‘oh I didn’t realise’.

I wish you well. ;)
