    Aye, we can all agree that his stats look low, but we can also all agree that he absolutely contributes. It’s a mad one.

    So signing for Chelsea automatically makes you a good player?

    He offers nothing

    Gareth Hall and that prick of a CH spring to mind

    I've been thinking about that too. Especially if we play two up top say Hemir and Rusyn so there's somebody to aim for.

    Chelsea and the other big clubs hoover up anyone with a bit of promise at youth level, knowing they can sell them on if they don't hit the levels. It's another big 6 cash grab

    I've been thinking this. Clarke seems to br getting shown down the line a lot more recently, so he has to check back and that's slowing us down.

    Think we'd be too narrow playing inverted wingers with two CFs

    Aye a would say he’s a good player. I just find it funny calling a player ****e at footy when most of us have played local footy as a level and calling a player ****e who’s made it as a pro at at a premier league club ha.

    An often forgotten truth this mate.

    His ability to occupy defenders and draw them in creating space for others is very under rated by some

    I played against a few ex pro and ‘nearly’ pro lads in The Costa del Sol league when I lived over there and you couldn’t get near them.

    There was a lad Joe played for one of the teams he was a keeper and had done 3 years pro, think was at West Brom and not made it, you couldnt score past the ****er.

    We played a friendly against Rio Ave youth team one time and I swear it was a shambles, while you are processing stepping in to challenge they have done you and gone.

    Its incredible the level it takes to even get close to a team in The top 2 tiers in England. Like you say there’s not a player in the setups of any of them clubs that’s remotely ‘****’

    So its impossible to identify if a footballer is rubbish unless you are a pro player

    Give it a rest man, you are talking pure faeces

    I have seen enough crap players to recognise one when I see one

    He will not even end up playing championship football

    Haha that’s your opinion mate but mine is that even if he made it to only league 1 level I’d doubt any of us are able to say he’s crap. Watch them in training and see the standard they are at, frightening really how good they all are.

    Triantis is a unit, but raw. A loan would do him the world of good imo
