Allardyce On Left Backs

[Joey66]

I swear if that fat mess of an individual is still here next season I'm taking a sabbatical from football, or taking an extended spell of hibernation.

Honestly can't get my head round him being our manager, still.

One thing it proves Big Sam does not know his left from his right!

 

[Berenger]

Yeh it is shocking there are title-challenging teams out there that can sign high profile wingers but we can't find any left-backs.

Spurs are closer to West Ham than City.

Fact is, Leicester’s recruitment has been totally unchanged post-Walsh; ours has been woeful since Moyes left, and has got significantly worse with Walsh.

So the question is what exactly does he add?

 

[Boba Fret]

Everton scout on the lookout for a left back

I would trust this guy more than Walsh to spot a good player.

 

[sharkey1001]

Walsh and Allardyce have got to go. 40 points and then they both go. What is Monchi up to?

 

[Ameen]

Seriously...send Walsh to London give Brentford £10 million sterling pounds for Rico Henry and drive back up to Liverpool with player and 6 happy meals

 

[Who's_up_for_cumpkins?]

This is all walsh's fault. The waste of space. A proper dof, identifies issues regardless of the manager and urges the board to buy players even for the long term. Before the the start of last season he should have seen the data etc that showed Baines was on the way out. And he did nothing. Baines successor should have been sorted summer 2016!! And here we are Jan 2018. Absolutely incompetent.

"There's no left backs in the world better than Martina"

Brilliant.

 

[Kenshin]

So shalke Chelsea and stoke all got a left back (2 of them connected) yet we can't find one?

It's things like this that makes this whole transfer committee here a joke. I'm sorry but if we wait, what do we get then? A keane? A Martina again? A sandro/klassen who never get a game?

Jesus we could even 're sign oviedo and I'll be happy

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

He basically wants the new Paul Robinson, doesn't He? An uber dirty clogged.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Whatever, I take it as we're after World Class players then...careful now, Sam.

 

[Groucho]

Just loan an average one until the end of the season

I will take a bang average left back for a few months over no left back at all

We have one. Garbutt.

Why loan one in?

I still cannot understand why we shipped him out. Koeman basically undone everything Martinez and Motes did.

So Professional Football is hard? Ok, good to know. Thanks Sam.

I think the negativity on Martina on this board and toffeeweb over the past few months is blown out of proportion. He is obviously an easy target because he came for free and was a Koeman favourite at his old club.

Firstly I'll say he makes mistakes, he'll miss a clearance or a header and it'll lead to a goal. But I think he's defensively very solid for most games and there are some games where he's good for 75 minutes, and he'll have a brain fade for 10-15 minutes. Other teams also much prefer to target Jonjoe Kenny's side rather than Martina's, because he's easier to get past. Martina has good size, isn't slow and can read the play better. He also puts in a much better effort and appears to give a s*** on the pitch as opposed to mercs like Schneiderlin who walked into the team on reputation. In fact, I'd even go so far as to say, Martina's a better signing than Sigurdsson because he was 45m cheaper and can play in the first 11. He's also just a backup/squad player, and Baines is out at the moment.

Anyway I think people should give him a chance.
