stevie snerklebox Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I seem to remember Gary Pallister joining Man Utd for a huge fee and really struggling at first. Then he turned into half of the best central defensive partnership in Premier League history. JvA needs games and time. Give the lad a break. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy turns like a barge, he is shybo, if you can’t do the basics no amount of coaching will change that. Better chance of winning lottery than this guy being any good.

Could try him in midfield alongside Hutchinson and give Bannan more of a free role. agree ventured this last year he has an eye for a forward pass if not defending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handworth52 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 if anyone was to go out on loan id like it to be him. he needs to play regular .send him to Rotherham play every week and he will be much better for us next season or we could sell him. at min he is unsellable .if we paid 4 million for him we have been shafted.

What’s it with our fans thinking a player that’s never played in central midfield in his professional career can just slot in and play there. It’s totally different to pinging a ball when you have time and space after receiving it from the keeper. Play players in in their best position and make the best team possible. This also annoys me with England playing the best individuals and not the best team. Southgate finally seemed to sort that so hopefully Bruce can do the same with us.

A valuable and reliable resource. I imagine managers have a special edition and they have it always loaded up on their computer screens in their office at the training ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can improve on his defending, then I think he could be a good player at this level, and we may need him next season if Hector leaves and we are again restricted by FFP. He’s awful! In my opinion, he’s SIXTH choice. Hector, Lees, Thorniley, Pudil and even Hutch at cb are all way above him. To think, we spunked a reported 4 million on him too. You couldn’t make it up.

However, DCs method of financial planning put paid to that. MASSIVE loss to us if you ask me personally. After only a couple of games watching him you could see he's an excellent defender and for me, this guy should have been signed and made captain. Very capable player and would have been a massive asset for us. Instead its a right utter f*ck up by CC and DC .. shambolic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care where he goes but he needs minutes on the pitch or we are going have another abdi on our books where he will run his contract down while getting a big fat wodge for doing f**k all. he is still young enough ,if he plays regular for rest of season he might be an asset for us next season ,or we would have a much better chance of offloading him in the summer , we cant ever in the future have any players on our books who are virtually unplayable . every club in league 1 and some lower ones like rotherhams entire wage bill is less than our list over the last 12 months or so of unavailable players through injuries or just not been picked.
