WA Toffee's latest activity

If I recall correctly, he played most of his games for PSV on the right as their best defender was very left footed and undroppable. He did a few interviews at the time confirming he was completely two footed (though with a slight preference for...

Good to know, and perhaps gives us an option I wasn't aware of 👍 Any idea how he performed on the right?

Branthwaite played right sided centre back in a back four for PSV.

I think if he comes…he starts as your best LB…while providing really good cover for CB and CM

Fair point, but I'm not sure away to Leeds on monday night, first game of the season when we are struggling is the best time.

It sounds like you are fed up with the Premier league rather than football itself. Now that I have access to it, I watch the Scottish league more than the epl. Sure the standard isn't as high and there are no household names, but it is a much...
