Effective going forward... Terrible at defending. We'll leak goals again if he's a wing back in a 5-3-2. Every other goal conceded in the prem he seems to just stop and let his man go. I'd only play him as a winger in this league.
Robertson isn't the better player though is he, he's good going forward but when you break it down Brady is better defensively has far better technique and is also no slouch attack wise himself.
I'm going on what I've seen with us, they've had him for a season so he's been establishing himself there for that season. To be honest not to concerned with what Norwich fans might or might not think, Baggies fans have been talking a lot of **** about Chester if you want to go down that path
An easy direct latest comparison, Robertson and Brady v Sheff Weds spooned the same sort of chance over the bar that Brady converted v Italy in the Euro championships, defensively he is nowhere near as good as Brady as anybody going to matches for the last two seasons has to admit unless they have their heads in the sand. The only areas Robertson is probably ahead of Brady is work-rate and maybe pace (not totally convinced on that) but the quality is a long way behind, also Brady has several tricks up his locker so is ahead on the flair count too
Today's completely made up rumour is striker Adrian Ramos from Borussia Dortmund. please log in to view this image
Looking on the positive side......I wonder if he has got a payrise? I dont mean from last years 'Championship' wage but from his 2014/5 Premier league wage....I'd hope not and also hope the 'relegation' clause is in place again
I think Elmo has to play right wing and not right back, he is the out ball for the goalie with his heading ability and like others says he goes AWOL on occasion defensively. We are strong on this side with Snodgrass too which can only be a good thing.
Elmo defensively is actually fairly similar to Robertson for me, but hopefully the coaching staff will address this pre-season as if us armchair analysts can see it then they should be able to too!
I set up a thread for Brady v Robbo if you want to post on there, probably derailing the transfer thread this a bit. If you are being serious I honestly don't know how you would measure a players concentration as opposed to another, I suppose Elmo ranks highly on the dozy list
It does make me giggle that one less then reputable red top puts an alleged price on one of ours, and the bed wetters are out. Rather then accept everything that these no nowts put in their papers lets just see what happens first with manager and owner alike. This is transfer rumour silly time, lets not get too excited just yet shall we.
Why ? Both would be good value especially Lambert who is well within our budget, PL proven and good at holding up the ball. for those who dont rate Robson-Kanu. Sadly this is not fantasy football that some on here think it is. But yes i do expect at least one top of the range (for Hull City that is) striker to arrive. But who.............................. twt.
Released by a Championship club. I know, let's sign him now that we are promoted, he's just what we need. Lambert is well past his best, we might as well sign Tom Denton from Halifax.
