Ronaldo Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Again, loved HBA in context, but would Ginola have rocked up in July having gained over a stone or whatever it was? Redundant comparison. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redundant comparison. He was accused of exactly that at Villa when he was past his best. And probably not but he'd have still been sparking up tabs after matches.

OverThere Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Absolute travesty that we sold Anderson. I really hope he winds down his Forest contract and we get him on a free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Butcher Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Remember him being our best player in pre-season and then started the first league game on the bench. Him leaving turned out to be a great decision for both him and us. Hope he comes back in a few years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago would have had plenty game time last season. especially in joelinton's absence. possibly also for bruno in certain games. both of them had to play either slightly injured or absolutely exhausted at times. Miley was slowly getting himself back to full fitness and still a little green. fuck PSR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miley was slowly getting himself back to full fitness and still a little green. fuck PSR. In hindsight, I agree. I do think our youth players require an absolute dire injury situation for them to get any decent game time. Probably one of the only negatives of how the team is managed. We'll see what happens to Miley this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When injuries came he was also injured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osula and Miley need serious game time next season, but we're not willing to loan them out. Fuck if I know the solution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could he afford to give Anderson 15 games ahead of Longstaff waiting for Anderson to get in gear? I consider Hall a higher ceiling player and it needed everyone else getting injured for him to get a 5 game run. Those 5 games he never looked back after that.

Sibierski Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago He got plenty of minutes in his last season for us, and would’ve got even more if he didn’t get injured. Probably would’ve ended up around 2000 minutes which would’ve been some going for a breakout season in Prem. Think there’s a valid argument he would’ve been pushing Joelinton to take his starting spot. Howe clearly rated him by how much he was played before and post injury.

80 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago The whole situation has demonstrated that there can be value in us (intentionally) looking to sell young players we truly rate with an attached buy back clause. It can make men out of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every game seems perilous for us. Every cup game, every prem game. Add into that CL. Can't risk any game. I don't really know what needs to happen for some games to be suitable for blooding in players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago ‘He got plenty of minutes’ = less than 12 full games and 26 appearances. Less than 40 minutes an appearance. Harvey Elliot managed almost 3x the minutes in the same season. Anderson never got a solid run for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
