2025/26 James Garner


This thread is the most flip-flop thread on here. One week he's "rubbish, invisible, stealing a wage". The next he's "getting in the England squad, makes everything look easy, best midfielder we've got"
So next game is going to be a poor one then. (For what it's worth, I think he's a great player for us, just not sure what his best position is going to be)

Huge competition on here from just about EVERY player thread. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
 
I love him, think he’s a great player, I can’t recall properly but I think I did say at the time we signed him he’d be a great player for us….. in saying that though, I thought he got badly exposed a few times in the first half yesterday. Probably because he’s not a natural right back, but he will learn quickly I have no doubt if this is to be his position from now on. I think he’s a very clever footballer and doesn’t get the recognition he deserves. I’m sure both his teammates and the opposition will tell you how good he is.
 
Personally I rate him, always have. He’s not top drawer by any means but he’s calm, good technique, can tackle, can pick a pass, can protect the ball and has an engine on him. Basically he can do all the basics very well.
This ^ which I posted back in August

Never changed my opinion on the lad, after finally seeing a couple of 5min cameos after signing, you could tell straight away. We were so bad and he was the one lad that came on and instantly looked for a forward pass.

He just got caught under Dyche for to long.
 
It was an obvious switch that Moyes had to make for me. If we had brought in all these center mids and had all this depth in the middle and we aren't utilizing it to allow Garner to fill a much needed hole, that is on him. I hope if things go south again in the middle with KDH at the 10 he has the decency to admit he needs to make a change. Whether this is enough to bring consistency to the team is to be determined.
 
He got beat a few times but Jake has been doing recently also.

I think taking Jake out of the side means Tim or Rohl get the nod in midfield to add some height back into the team.

I also think garner will play right back until jan but might get moved back to midfield when Gana goes to Afcon.
 

Hopefully a new deal is on the table and signed soon. Not ideal when he can sign a pre contract elsewhere. Tuchel not calling him up isn't ideal either, he might think he needs to join a fashionable club like notts forest
