I think his legs being gone is a prevailing narrative at the moment, it's probably embellished by the fact he's disliked due to cheating on his wife. I saw a couple of his games for Milan and saw him make recovering runs and general signs that he is still pacier than the average forward he will come up against. Here: Some signs here that his legs are still good enough for Burnley, I agree he is not a technical player and when the legs do go, he's finished, but I'd say he still has a bit left as of right now.
Wow exciting stuff for them, but once again so so so so so glad we are out of that league. There's about 14 teams taking it serious now and pushing for top 6.
Admittedly walker is an improvement on Connor Roberts, but in the same way hendo is an improvement on Jay matete.
I'm not judging him on what he's done off the pitch, watched him a lot over last few seasons and he got caught out more than I've seen him ever get caught out- and didn't have the pace to recover like he used to. He gets caught ball watching so much and let's players get across or behind him but he used to use his pace to get back in ahead of them but I've hardly seen that last couple of years As I said if his wages are reasonable then it's worth the risk but wouldn't be surprised if he's still on 100k plus a week and that's just too much for him
Yep, they seem to be copying us and investing in youth so if you can that right you should in theory be stronger each year
Malick Thiaw, expected to make a decision on his future by mid next week with Como waiting for an answer on their proposal. The agreement between Como and AC Milan on €25m package is confirmed, since two weeks ago. Still up to Malick From Fab Hopefully clears the way for us to sign Cresswell
Last season was their lull, beale-esque with a stubborn manager who wouldn't change his style to suit his players. Probably kick on. I genuinely thought he was horrendous and a liability every game he played for England at that last tournament, and yet they put him into the team of the tournament - legacy must go a long way.
Was that his defence in his case of exposure in a pub in Manchester. Me Lord, I dropped my trackie bottoms to show them me legs hadn't gone. I'd a cold so had taken some non recreational drugs, coupled with the gallon of lager, I'd totally forgotten I'd gone commando. Your honour.
He's in for his pace and little else, which has always been the case, not necessarily recalling he was that bad in the last tournament though. Here, someone else earlier said Charlie Cresswell looked sh!te in the recent u21s tournament. People see different things.
I said otr that Walker is an excellent signing 18 months ago. Currently, on a 2 year deal on high wages - takes him to 37 years of age, where he’d be coming up against pacey wingers who will fancy themselves against him - we’ve got one ourselves - I’d be against it. Been the best RB in the prem in recent years, no doubt about it - but he’s nowhere near that level now. I’d have been very worried if we gone for him.
Aye totally, I'll maintain backing what I see and I encourage you to do the same. Although be nice if he's ****e.
I’d probably react to Walker exactly how I’d react to Henderson. Acknowledge that they bring awesome experience but worry big time about them not being up to pace. It’s not so much the top speed or even the acceleration but the reaction speed. I wouldn’t have either of them in our best starting 11
The last sentence is spot on, we all see things differently when watching the game - it's one of the reasons I love the game Time will tell if hes a good signing or not, none of us know how it'll pan out for them
