In fairness, was mainly the anti you know who lot on twitter at the time. Not many of our ex players of last decade pulling up trees. Wood being the exception
Not for me. Byram did look the real deal, and it is possible by playing him injured and over playing him generally we burned him out.
But imo we were In that position only because the whole team was set up to feed him. A year later he went and we were better with broadly the same team set up differently.
Mccontract was an excellent player at this level... when he wasn’t scoring in that first year you could see he was a classy footballer out of confidence. Not sure about set up to suit him... not like he’s a target man. He scored bagfuls for us, feeding of scraps... went to Fulham scored loads.... stacks of assists also. As a human being, well we’ve never heard his version of events but the treatment of the son he disowned sickens me as a father. But as a footballer, at his best he was top drawer for this division.
Eire, your recent history shows that Leeds are quite good at readying one for the future - unfortunately for you though, as soon as they reach that potential, they move on to bigger clubs - Wood & Taylor to Burnley, Delph to Villa, Snodgrass & Howson to Norwich, Byram to West Ham, Schmeichael to Leicester, etc etc. On the plus side, it keeps the likes of Bates, Cellino and Radrizzani wealthy
I don't agree with you - obviously !!, I'm me and you are you, but I was wondering if you could use your wisdom and knowledge to tell us why this phenomena doesn't happen at Millwall ? and don't come back with "because Berylson is not like that" he is a businessman and like all businessmen wants to turn a profit.
Sounds like pure jealousy IMO. Millwall would love to be in the position that someone might want to buy one of their players.
