Guess it’s technically a summer transfer so it can go in here… Wissa is out “indefinitely” with a knee issue, guess he really is the Callum Wilson replacement
I think L09 might be more suited to a mid table prem club as a ball playing defender with pace, than a relegation battle low block side. Feel like he might get few minutes imminently but maybe get more minutes as we go up the league. Ha’ way the lads
You know, I wish people who say they support the club actually support the players who play for the club and got us to where we are now rather than say they're ****e and not good enough
Seeing things like? Where has that been said FWIW, IMO O9 just won’t find the game time without injuries. I think it’s a step too far but wouldn’t ever count him out. But the game time just isn’t there. Alderete, Geertruida, Mukiele, Ballard, Reinildo all can play CB
Who's said this about players who got us here? People are realistic about players needing to be replaced by better if the club has any chance of staying in this league and from the window they had seems the club agree! That isn't the same as saying they are ****e and we support the club more than the players (players come and go) we shouldn't be sentimental and want players to carry on playing, cause they got us here! If they are good enough they will play they will, if they aren't they won't.
He probly wont play much at all but im glad the club have looked after him with a new contract and hopefully big pay rise, well deserved be great to see him make his prem debut
He hasn't even been given a squad number and the back of his shirt is printed with PAW PATROL written on it so he will be on the beach more times than David Hasselhoff. Luke will be there when he is needed
Indeed but at times two of those could well be playing fullback and one has a fair amount of time out with injury.
I hope when LON makes his PL debut it’s off the bench at home. One reason. So we can give him the most thunderous applause imaginable and that there’s no doubt the lad knows it’s for him.
Truthfully I think they’ve rewarded him even knowing he won’t play much. And as one of his biggest critics over the years, he absolutely deserves it. The lad has been total class from L1 to the PL and for all its brilliant for us to completely revamp the squad and bring in quality CB’s it would be really bad form for him to remain on a lower league wage going into what will probably be his last shot of a lengthy contract. Modern day football doesn’t really have much place for doing the “right thing” with so much money involved and PSR limitations etc but the club have done right by O’nien imo, even if he doesn’t make a single appearance this season. We all see the impact he has on the lads around the training ground etc in the videos the club publish.
There will be a few players having to be patient for their opportunity. His leadership among that group could be crucial to keeping them happy, focused and upping their levels ready for when the chance inevitably comes.
100%. Even if he never gets on the pitch,he's worth his weight in gold around the place. Epitomises everything we've become in the last 5 years.
