You always put things very eloquently, and I respect that, but if we're were so close to signing him on a permanent, one foot in the door, then changes his mind because his mate lashes two goals in, then he mustn't be the type of player we need. Thoes 3 on the books, trying to outscore each other would have been the best for all parties. Alas he has chosen Wigan over us and that's fair enough, as for him coming here in the future, mud sticks unfortunately. I think his potential ship here has sailed. Once again, I respect your opinion though.
I thought/hoped that people had a better understanding of mental health and how difficult it can be for some people nowadays. It’s so disappointing to me to see all the comments about Broadhead and his apparent anxieties, lack of self belief and confidence being described as ‘pathetic’, ‘weak’ and ‘bottling it’.
Although I generally agree, if a player doesn’t have te belief in their ability to get selected in a side with only two to compete against, they’re best not here. Personally I think a permanent signing of Broadhead after his limited availability last season was an error of judgment anyway.
That’s fine. It’s some of the terminology (including from some people I know should know better) that I’d take umbrage with.
I agree, I’ve seen “heart of a pea” as well, the guy scored goals to take us to the championship for Christ’s sake. We don’t even know what’s gone on for sure but if he didn’t have the self belief to try for a place and thought Wigan would be better for him then that’s fair enough.
You’re very bitter about this mate considering you say signing him permanently would be a mistake Squads effectively gonna be picked in the next 6 weeks by Paige so he needs to play now. He’s not the first footballer who’s arranged a move in order to secure a World Cup place and won’t be the last
It may be that Everton decided he wasn't going to drop his wage demands enough to make a permanent Championship move a feasible proposition,and ,having already loaned us Simms,took the offer from another club. For NB,he wants to further his chances with Wales by playing games....which he won't do if he stays at Goodison,....so agreed the loan. All guesswork on my part!
Reet. Enough of this chat about Wigan's centre forward, who are WE going to sign this week? That's what I'm interested in......
Of course it is, but is a mountain being made out of a molehill... all professional (and amateurs ) sport suffer from performance anxiety to a lesser or greater extent!
it’s easy to do mate. Tell you what though, I can’t wait to see big Ellis again. It’s too early to say but he’s got the swagger of someone who has potential ! This time next year we might be wondering what all the fuss was about !
I was referring to the whole situation when I said "Pathetic" for how long it has dragged on for, not that Broadhead himself is. It was rumoured that it was just about done then at the 11th hour changed but after a 12 hour shift at that point I couldn't really be chewed to type all that out.Sometimes it can be forgotten how stuff comes across via text. As for mental health, personally I have been and am around it.
