Disco Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Can't remember, a quick Google tells me he's just ruptured his achilles though. (Insert Mike Ashley pic) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Our other problem is we dont have a proper young decent centre half, around the age of 20-22, who comes in for games alongsige an experienced player like Colo in certain games to learn his trade. I know they rate Remi Streete but its too soon for him yet. That and Mike Williamson is shit. He isn't ok as back up. He is shitter than the shittiest shitter. Hopefully Curtis Good can be that later in the season. I think its still too soon from him, I was thinking along the lines of a Tavernier, someone who has played quite a bit on loan but maybe at Championship level. Hope Good does turn out Good like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it's weird that we don't have that young CB, bad planning in the past. Most PL reserve defenders would presumably be able to step in and do a better job than Willo. Even though, we're desperate for a CB, getting the right player might be tougher than we think. Do we go all out for someone who will be first choice, or do we buy a less experienced youngster who can just compete? We simply have to buy a first team centre back. Right now every time the ball goes near Williamson i cringe and with Taylor's injuries, it simply has to be a Purple player (what shit that is).

Karjala Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 How will we shift Williamson though? Guess we could sell him to a Championship Club, maybe. We'd get shot of him no bother IMO provided he wanted to move. Solid, no-nonsense English defender with PL/Euro experience and isn't too old and on low wages. Granted we'd not get much for him.

I'm so so sorry, honestly i'm sorry for the distress i caused the board, the city and my family. I've let you all down with my stupid flippant comment. Curtis Good is the future and i shall refrain from using his name is such a regrettable manner. My only defence for my outrageous behaviour was that it was too Good an opportunity to miss.

The last 3 seasons have been particularly bad and over his whole career he's struggled to do more than 50% of our league games per season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Those figures boil my fucking blood, so pissed off the people running our club are so willing to risk our success in the face of evidence like that. They're fucking terrified in case he manages a full season and they have to pay decent wages out on the centre halves we might need in order to cover ourselves and mount a challenge.

The original shoulder dislocation (under Souness, and that was horribly handled by the manager) was a big setback, given that he's a combative footballer.
