2019/20 Tom Davies

[neil999]

I think his fashion antics takes up more of his attention than his football tbh. Anyone with a hobby be it running, martial arts, cycling will tell you realistically you can only commit to one thing 100% and I feel for him football has become just a job and trying to become the next Ralph Lauren with Hector Bellerin is his main passion.

Fair play to the lad but he'll never make it as a prem footballer if he doesnt sort himself out and get on the training pitch every day improving his game.

Yep no other footballer has worn silly clothes and been successful

It's one of the things I've considered along with his extravagance. It's not about lack of effort or commitment, I don't think.
I just can't believe he's been written off by so many Blues. SAD.

True, it's also about his lack of footballing talent

When will Zoolander show us his blue steel?

All about opinions I guess. I'm more about having a bit of patience and support.

I mean, that's fine, but

His "breakout" and arguably one decent game for us was 2 years, 8 months ago. How much more patient are people supposed to be?

So was that a fluke or what? I've seen enough in glimpses to know the boy has skills, he just lacks certain things, like common sense or dress sense but at 21 he has time on his side, just not you.

I'd suggest that as we are over two and half years later, yes it probably was.

Glimpses aren't enough. Dowell gives you highlight reels of the stuff, but he also won't make it.

And that's that.

The lad needed a loan for the last 3 years, but sadly we had to keep him for the squad.

Not writing him off at all, but the lack of games certainly hasnt helped him.

Tom? Some of us love you. Just do your best, lad.

Thank God all of the people I go cycling with as a hobby keep winning the Tour de France instead of doing their real jobs

 

[tonka1878]

Leon Osman for millenials.

 

[Prevenger17]

That might seem harsh and im not a TomTom basher as such, but its an indisputable fact sadly

Aye, I have been a big fan and hoping hard that he can make the step up, but my faith has been stretched to its limit

I agree that, decent footballer though he is, he does need to work and improve if he wants to stay here and make a meaningful contribution. On the other hand, I think that you'll find that even top runners, fighters, and cyclists wear clothes, have relationships, parents, kids, stamp collections etc. I know it's important to commit yourself to your calling, but having no other interests at all is probably a bad thing. I don't think anyone ever missed an open goal because they wore a silly hat or ridiculous shoes in their spare time.
