    Yes, sir. He really is.

    He's got the talent and attitude. Now, he needs game time, good management and our support.

    Fingers crossed.

    Our midfield's been crying out for a Winks/Dier hybrid ever since the combined physical implosions of Dembele and Wanyama eighteen months ago, and while Skipp is clearly still a raw talent and could do with hitting the gym in the off season to get some extra muscle mass, he's certainly boosted his prospects - especially with Dier dropping back into defence

    I'm not sure about Gedson , how many time over the years have we seen players like Lennon , Chadli, Townsend , and GNK all fast but end up running up blind allys with no end product and that's what I've seen from Gedson so far, hope I'm wrong about the kid and if he proves me wrong I will be the first to say so

    Woaaaah! Put some RESPEK on Lennon and Chadli's names! Lol.

    I used to love watching Lennon, one of those players who'd get me out of my seat at WHL whenever he got the ball. As you said, didn't always have an end product but he helped to make football really enjoyable under the Jol and Redknapp years, especially when Bale was on the opposite flank. That raw pace and ability to beat a full back was a joy to watch.

    I get that similar feeling with Gedson, he never seems afraid to take a player on and I like that. End product can obviously be improved, though I think long term he'll be a much better CM than a winger anyway. His versatility is pretty handy at the moment.

    He looks like everything I hoped Winks would be. Here’s hoping he beds in off the back of what I believe Mou described as a ‘phenomenal’ performance.

    So for some reason The Grauniad are publishing a lot of articles which, while not sympathetic to Dier, at least show a degree of understanding for what went on

    I guess they must have watched David Baddiel's documentary on Holocaust denial and realised that was the twat they were siding with against us for the last couple of years...

    Alright, who's hacked your account?

    There's no way the real Hudd will be talking down about the 'Hemel Hempstead Messiah'.

    Whoever has hacked it though, is welcome to stay <laugh>

    He got banned for 8 months, paid £30k in fines and had to do 120 hours of community service.
    He did kick and punch a supporter, though. Dier didn't.

    Dier deserves a little pretend slap on the wrist and a few words whispered into his ear along the lines of ‘I’d have done the same son’ as the FA representative shakes his hand and shows him the exit

    played well for us CB...will probably get another crack against Burnley

    He looks a much better bet than Ndombele right now. Maybe a midfield of him, Lo Celso and Skippy might have the right application and talent?

    I like Gedson always busy always looks like he can actually pull of some skill to get away from a situation.

    Runs plenty...like Sissoko but with technique

    He did well and always wanted the ball, but he's very one-footed and wasn't suited to playing on the left.
    Wouldn't mind seeing him and Sessegnon on opposite flanks at some point.
