Moved to Brussels at 12/13 and it absolutely tore my family to shreds. Twenty odd years later and I'm still trying to get over the calamity.
I’m still fairly optimistic about him. He’s got the physique, is fairly quick, did find himself space to get decent efforts away and wasn’t afraid to shoot either. He didn’t look fully fit but his cameos towards end of season were much improved.
He'd be a great signing does a lot of the stuff Ross does. Missed a lot of last season but seems to have turned their season around. Him and Mubama would be a perfect 2 strikers to get for our set up
I think us football falls suffer from a lack of empathy sometimes in our pursuit of success and glory. Rigg is shown all the patience in the world and I think we need to show Hemir that too. New season, blank slate though so here’s hoping he gets some joy
Because football is seen as such an amazing job and life to (which no doubt it is) we forget that they are still human and despite what they are doing being a dream for most they still have the same emotions as the rest of us! I'm guilty of it, x,y,z is loaded what's he got to be depressed about etc...
Talking of a blank slate, not a bad read about AA: Adil Aouchiche's Sunderland challenge after Regis Le Bris appointment https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/s...nderland-challenge-regis-le-bris-appointment/
I think we went through a stage, especially under Mowbray, where fans were especially supportive of the young players. Really gave them time, understanding and encouragement. Feels like it's changed a bit and last season's poor form is probably a big factor. Hopefully we can get back to that encouraging atmosphere and Le Bris can help reinforce that culture.
I thought Ipswich would go for him after they gone up, he seemed to do well on loan there last season.
Has the ability to be a very very good footballer, lets hope he can settle down & really progress next season
Speakman mentioned that ideally you'd have 3 strikers with slightly different style/profiles to provide rotation and options. I think I'd be happy enough if our 3 looked like this: 1) Gallagher or Hardie 2) Mubama 3) Rusyn or Hemir (Hemir out on loan unless Rusyn leaves) I'd also take Joffy back as the number 3 option but I suspect bringing in 3 new strikers is a bit beyond our limits.
He did ok in a few games for them but had a poor end of season Think they suit a more mobile striker, delap and hirst will fight it out to start for them Moore isnt a PL striker at all
They seemed to have recruited players who fit their system well so far so I really wouldn’t be surprised to see Delap take off this season.
I just don't think he offers a return on his quite high wages at that level. He won't score and they won't stay up with him as their guy. They seem to be investing heavily on guys with big upside/resale/championship ability. Quite like how they're going about it. The promotion should leave a lasting legacy.
Whilst I agree patience is needed with all the young signings, not sure comparing those 2 is valid. Riggs mentality is elite level, he gets more leeway because you can see despite being less physically developed he’ll go crunching into tackles players twice his size and leave it all on the pitch. Hemir comparatively at times has been a disgrace, has all the physical attributes but shirks any graft or physical side of the game. Mowbray mentioned being late for training and poor fitness levels. He needs to do more.
