Dr Venkman Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 2 hours ago, gdm said: Eddie is class. I love Eddie Howe but does amuse me how that blanket statement gets used for every out of form or poorer player. I won’t work every time. ASM for example. Could argue he got poorer under Howe towards the end. Ryan Fraser too Aye, but Sterling’s a really good player already Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a poor season for his standard and I was making a broader point about the amount of times people think Howe can turn water in to wine in a footballing sense. Not Sterling specific. oh I almost forgot…. Edited August 22 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could he just be off form when he went to forest? Hailed by the Portuguese press? What? Benfica fans signed up to that forest forum saying he's a calamity when he signed Edited August 22 by Menace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 He was literally one of if not the worst goalkeeper they’ve had in Benfica’s history . I try not to entertain hyperbole but I can’t stress highly enough how bad a player the guy is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 57, probably missed about 40 home games in the past 45yrs and I'd struggle to judge before McFaul, even then I probably couldnt really judge before Pav and Shaka.

My Greek friend sending me laughing emojis basically summed him up - imagine not being able to replace Dubravka in your peak. Grim signing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbo Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 We never wanted Vlachodimos and I expect he’ll never be part of our plans. He’ll be loaned out in the hope we can claw back some money for him, and I’m sure he was aware of this plan when he signed. With the financial rules in place we’ll have to get used to players coming and going for non-football reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 I'm just still waiting for a total out of the blue signing, no previous rumours, just one like others that came out of nowhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They even had one for Ruddy. Eddie knows what he is and Ody knows what he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson was never worth £35m and he wasn't worth the reported £20m - it basically helped us both out massively for PSR bollocks similar to many 'swap' deals that several teams conjured up!
