Never got the foreign plaudits though cos he as English. Drunk. Clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's behind Gerrard and Lampard for best English midfielder of that generation. In fact David Beckham was a better CM than Scholes was too. Wow! What an absolute rubbish statement. Go read what Xavi said about Scholes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought Jason Lowe looked a useful player who'd do well with better players around him, if Bolton go down he'd be a cheap way to bolster the midfield.

Id put him above lampard and gerrard personally, beckham was different and not easy to compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyblack Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Have we sold or signed anyone yet or are we still sat on our hands? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I don’t think the only two options are selling/buying or doing nothing. Much like was mentioned to you yesterday when you were spamming the thread with the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I’d have thought we’d at least have moved a few youngsters out. We have had a pretty successful U23 group in recent years, and, if Jos were to be believed, many of the group were ready for championship football He was probably wrong about that, but you’d have thought they would have been of interest to lower league clubs For example, do we really need 5 professional keepers kicking around the place?

room0035 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 how many pages this transfer window before we actually do any business in or out. For me even if we do nothing for the first team regulars in or out. There are playing that need regular football to improve. Neilson, Ogrady, Wildsmith, Kirkby - 4 young players who all need game time at a higher level than development team. I would loan all out the league 1 or 2 to get some games under their belt. Wildsmith has gone backwards from last season and needs to be playing regularly, have a recall option if either Dawson or Westwood get injured. If we let him stay understudy it is harming his development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room0035 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Realistically without knowing the ins and outs of the club do you think we are this inactive because we have had no offers for anyone of our players and we have no players we want to bring in. Or we are waiting for Bruce to arrive (which of course will be after the transfer window has shut), I just don't understand the lack of any transfers we have players like, Abdi, pudil, jones, JVA, preston, wildsmith getting no game time can we not look to get them out on loan and sharpen them up. I am surprised we have had no inquiries about any of our players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t even bring him back to sit on the bench, as, if we can get him out on loan, he’d be better left playing regular games Unless both Westwood and Dawson were out, we could just let Wallis or McCulloch take a place on the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloxwich Owl Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Championship side Brentford have accepted a £12m offer from Bournemouth for Wales international Chris Mepham. The Cherries were close to signing the 21-year-old defender last week and he is set to undergo a medical on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ever you wanted to know the benefit of youth players look at Brentford find good young players and cherry pick the lower league develop them then sell on for good fees. I bet they have no issues with FFP and under dean Smith looked like a team on the up, with a new stadium on the way as well. This season has been poor but still attracting bid bids for their players.

They’re a strange model, they get all their youngsters from other academies, Mepham I think was with Chelsea. They don’t develop their own. Their reserve side doesn’t even play in a league, playing mostly friendlies overseas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
