On a more serious note, fuck me, such poor quality out there in these positions today. Maybe not ideal, but personally i would have started Bigi ahead of both of them and moved Anita/Marveaux there, baffling!
I'm verging on this view atm. Starting to think 'will be a good buy for next year'.
It's unfair to expect these young lads to come in and hit the ground running and is a risk in itself.
Even though he's young, he's quality and quite experienced for his age. No problems.
Has a good leap aye. But his best attribute is being strong and composed on the ground, making nice tackles and interceptions. Also has the pace to recover most times when he fails at something, just like wor willo
Good with the ball and makes some nice runs forward at times.
Don't know if the players like Pardew or not, but no matter what they think we do need a new face to guide them through and give them some new belief. Pardew seems unable to do this with his whinging and negativity all the time.
