Which doesn't mean I haven't watched them (and by definition Shawcross) at all. Does anyone on here go out of their way to watch Stoke?
Bit long in the tooth, no?Graham Roberts!!
Well, I just got here. Dunno where the other one is.When did they show up?
Oh come on!mabbut legend
Don't mean to be pedantic Barry, but I had a great Aunt called Eunice. The French bloke who plays CB for us is called Younes.
I know, but I've always called him Eunice, I ain't changing now
Great post.Do we really know this? The time a player's time with us is up is when you have better players. Frankly I'm not sure if Eunice will ever get back to his best form and on last seasons form wasn't better than Daws and Vlad was a long way short of PL level.
There are better CB's around than Daws, but then there's better CB's around than Verts, but we have to get them and that isn't always that simple
I have no issue if we can get a better more suited CB than Daws but I can't see any point in selling him whilst Vlad looks a long way short of stepping up and there's big question marks still over Eunice
It's also worrying that we showed a serious lack of leadership, character and desire in anything like enough depth last season and yet the players that provide the bulk of that, Daws and Sandro, we are supposedly thinking of selling.
I hope we have some strong targets in mind if we do, because youthful enthusiasm isn't going to be enough to get as through the tough games we will invariably encounter this coming season
I think Dawson might have played the full 90 just to ensure that the CB he's keeping - Kaboul, doesn't pick up an unnecessary injury
You can't wrap players in cotton wool and if anything Eunice needs more playing time than most because he missed so much.
Was meSomeone at some point suggested molding Sandro into a CB. I think that could be worth a shot. Defensively Sandro is one of the best around. Offensively not so much. Why not focus on his strengths? It would solve our CB problem and appease all the Sandro lovers who want him to stay. This is just my opinion but I think after the injury he could benefit from playing in a less athletic role in defense as opposed to the midfield.
Poch has basically already confirmed we want to sign more players...I'm starting to get the felling that Davis and Vorm might be the only business we do this window.
