TheEnchanter Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Really don't get the hype. He's decent on the ball, but he's slow, he doesn't get about and doesn't look like he wants to fully commit to a tackle. With the way people have talked him up, I was expecting a beast in these playoff games. Both games have passed him by imo Well, over the season and in the Asian Cup it seems he's shown enough.

SallyCinnamon Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Yes, I agree with that. Reminds me of Troy Deeney. Another one I'd have a look at is that fullback at Chesterfield. Can't recall his name, Diarika? - looks a really good player. Che Adams looked good in that cameo. Superb goal, looked strong and powerful. United might have a player on their hands there. Darikwa is a good player like the look of him. Also Sam Morsy from Chesterfield is a player i'd be looking at, central midfielder. Strong in the tackle, can pick a pass and controls games at that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IstillhateSteveBould Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Well, over the season and in the Asian Cup it seems he's shown enough. I don't think the Asian cup is owt to go on tbh. But he must've shown something over the season if he's attracting the sort of interest he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 He's not just any injured fullback, he's John Brayford. Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the way people have talked him up, I was expecting a beast in these playoff games. Both games have passed him by imo Again, I agree. I imagined when I first heard about him that he'd be quick, direct, strong and effective going forward. Instead, he just seems a bit of a passenger who can pass the ball a little. Kasim was much, much better on the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should clarify by saying I've not seen either of the playoff games so maybe he wasn't influential. The lad is very good and is showing a good path to further development.

The lad is very good and is showing a good path to further development. Fair enough mate. Like I said in the other thread, I haven't seen that much of him, but I kept an eye on him in the playoffs after all the hype and was surprised at how ineffective he was. He must have been doing something right this season though if he's attracting PL clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanye West Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Roger Johnson released, would definitely have him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesy87shef Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Roger Johnson released, would definitely have him. You've got to wonder why Charlton would release him. Obviously some good players can be picked up that don't get offered a new deal but also at 32 I'd be hoping we would be aiming for a younger better centre back as we will potentially keep Loovens anyway.

waddleisgod Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Not quick enough, strong enough, or clinical enough...so far. I won't push for him to go, but I do think Gray must choose between him and Lavery. If May moves this summer, that kinda concedes defeat - so it really needs to be a permanent fix. He may we'll get stronger, but what surprised me is how slow he is, he makes lovely runs but never gets on the end of a through ball due to lack of pace, maybe in Scotland he got away with it but he isn't in the championship unfortunately!! Big let down imo Not quick enough, strong enough, or clinical enough...so far. I won't push for him to go, but I do think Gray must choose between him and Lavery.
