2020/21 Mason Holgate

[AsiaAsia82]

Holgate is getting better the longer he’s injured
We still need a top class CB bringing in

If nothing else I think Dominic and Mason have shown sometimes a little patience can pay off, and before anyone says Tom, he's younger

 

[Terrarian]

I'm not saying Tom will make it @Zatara just saying a little patience sometimes can bring reward, granted not always but sometimes a gamble pays off.

mason holgate was very apparently a class central defender in the making an only an utter stupid cockroach could not see this. i forgive them as long as they learn next time to hold their tongues. this is life i suppose.

Right now he needs to slot in beside Keane or Mina, whichever in the better form. Both are fairly slow and them playing together makes us far too susceptible towards being counter attacked.

Long term he would be an excellent squad player for a CL team (which will hopefully be us one day). He can play almost anywhere on the backline in a pinch and also is solid as a ball winning DM.

Try and loan Stones off City

He played quite well last night

He won't be available unless they sign someone and Laporte gets fit very soon.

I think hes referring to a pic I posted on his thread last season of a scene from trading places, whereby they’re saying ‘sell sell sell!’

what he’s totally missing is that I was actually taking the piss out of everyone above saying to sell him now for £7m... and the scene is of the Mortimer brothers who were idiots in the film.

think it went over his head a little, in a rushed and rather ridiculous attempt at trolling from earlier in the day, which is actually in line with the standard I’ve seen.

isn’t that right @the sniderman??

mate so you give me a negative 2 rep.. (what does rep matter btw?)... when I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.. I commented that cos I noticed Sniderman liked some posts of mine from a couple years ago when I said we should give Holgate a chance after coming back from WBA and not sell..

now if you would restore those two reps please

I feel Mason Holgate understands and has embraced the way Carlo Ancelotti wants us to play. Get well, and back to full fitness, soon Mason.

Holgate was definitely a ray of sunshine during a pretty horrible season. On the form he was showing its definitely Holgate +1 for me when he gets back to fitness. Looking forward to seeing him play for us in Europe next season.

i will make an exception for u buddy.

Backtracking and swinging out?

And rightly so!

i know when to pick and choose my futile battles at least buddy. no one likes rotten eggs.

....be very interesting, though, if a new CB comes in and impresses. On current form, he would perhaps partner Keane and if that partnership performs well then Holgate might have to be patient.
