So basically your hoping we get relegated and Blackburn get promotion so you can win twenty quid and say your right!! That's. not a good example to set young inferior fans is it hoping your team loses.
My view on Cairney is that he changed when Bullard got his mits on him and stopped developing. Evans was fine facing attackers but not once they had got past him and he was weak in the air. Bruce has one more season (I think) with us as a squad player and I don't see him starting any PL games unless we have real injuries. McShane, Dugeon will be ahead of him. Would I have kept Cairney and Evans, not if I had to trim the squad. Who is going to come in for Bruce? No one. Has Bruce been worthy of a place, without doubt. OLM's bet is a little bit of fun. I will pass on it. Why? Because both players do have it in them to develop, but one of them needs to get his head in the right place first and the other needs to gain award of pace. If they both succeed fine well done but it would be sad to see them fail.
Bruce Jnr is Wayne Brown waiting to happen. He wasn't as a good a footballer as Evans, nowhere near as good. He was even further from being as good as Cairney. Your point seems to have clouded your judgement. Alex Bruce signed a 2 year contract, I doubt he'll sign another because, as we've seen in pre-season, he's been sat on the bench not getting any minutes at all (and that's in a friendly). We've also seen Jack Hobbs, who was vastly superior to him, leave the club. If AB has any ambition, he'll leave if he gets the chance. Bruce was alright in the Championship, but he doesn't have the technical ability to play in the Premier League. He'd be alright at a lower Championship club, in fact having helped us to promotion would probably help him find one quicker.
I was saying nothing of the sort, two years from now I don't expect Bruce to be playing for us, nor do I expect that Cairney and Evans will both still be at Blackburn.
If he was over the age of thirty, then five years would obviously make a difference, but they're all in their twenties. As for the odds, it hardly makes any difference, I'm just ****ing about to make a point, nobody's going to take the bet(mainly because they'd lose).
