2023/24 Ben Godfrey

[maccavennie]

Best for all concerned he goes this January, along with Keane.

We'll need to find an adequate replacement though, someone cheap and cheerful.

Godfrey is worse than Keane but I accept both are below par.
Keane has been poor for us but he has basic football skills and has scored a number of goals which improves his overall contribution.
Godfrey’s performance against Doncaster in the League cup was the classic “won a competition to play” as he was awful.

 

[Iana]

Knowing our luck if we managed to offload him he would turn into a footballer akin to Maldini.

Could have bought someone like Craig Dawson for the same price as an attractive suburban Semi-detached and he would have been more effective than them two.

Reminds me of Adama Traore, physical attributes fantastic
Pace powerful

Footballing ability zero

What is this weird link with Spurs? £20million for a player who has barely played in 3 years, and when he has has tended to shin the ball to oncoming strikers.

Very odd.

**id still play him RB ahead of Young, but he’s no CB**

Yeah. This can’t be true. I suspect a lazy journo has picked it up from a parody account

Far fetched…..they need some form of emergency and versatile defensive cover whilst deliberately overpaying to help us manage the Dele situation without actually re-visiting that contract, which would be a nightmare getting all 3 parties to agree, and also shines a spotlight unnecessarily on the lad. Spurs recognising some duty of care to him etc etc

Unlikely, particularly after we blamed them entirely for our overspend re Richy

You missed the aliens … lol

 

[BNJ1878]

Nah, Godfrey before he got the Coronalergy was an acceptable defender.

That's a very generous assement.

He has the football intelligence of a hedgehog.

No level of physicality can make up for being an absolute dope.

Knowing our luck if we managed to offload him he would turn into a footballer akin to Maldini.

I can say with the utmost confidence he won't.

Spurs do not play with traditional CBs, and seems to favor FBs in that position. With that high line, rapid recovery speed seems the most important attribute.

Godfrey is exceptionally fast, perhaps Postecoglou thinks given he has the pace that the rest can be coached.

 

[Blue Willy]

Lets hope so.

 

[jtl60]

He is still young enough to get back on track to being a decent player. We play with the two CBs whose main job is making headed clearances, somthing he is useless at

….perhaps it’s their way of paying the shortfall for Richarlison

 

[GoldenToffee]

Has to be right at the top of the 'to be sold asap' list. 26 years old next month and way down the pecking order for us. Bought for about 3x his actual value and probably on wages that far exceed his ability.

If any of him, Holgate or Keane are with us (they will be, probably all three) come next season (contractually, even if loaned out), it'll be a travesty.
