While its good for the defensive bit of his game its crippling for his attacking bit. He cant overlap while hes on the left like he and Enrique do when on their right sides. While Enrique would have offered more in attack yesterday its good to know Johnson can fill in on LB without much grief against some of the better opposition.
We sold Mihaylov to Twente a couple of years ago, hes theirs and Bulgaria's first team keeper now. Hes been quoted saying we got an option on him now that hes qualified for a work permit. 23 years old with a decent amount of first team footie and international experience wouldnt be a bad backup for Pepe. Nothing to do with the Next Gen tho...
Yeah, seems like alot of the optimism from last/previous seasons have gone as well. Suso is available for this game isnt he, been suspended for a few games now.
Spurs today. Probably to early for Texeira (might be cup tied as well), but anyone got any predictions? Saw a lot of Spurs youngsters going out on loan yesterday...
He's only looked like the player from Blackpool in glimpses this season, theres probably several factors to that like new team mates, tactics etc. Point is he needs to discover the displays he had for Blackpool before we can expect him to become an even better player. His assist count isnt bad, but he looks a passenger for much of the minutes he gets.
Jonjo on for Adam in the 60th when he usually is shot. Started optimistic pushing players forward, but then back to normal with max 2 players in the box
Had we bought Henderson, Adam and Downing as a package you could split the cost x3, but we didnt. Dont think we overpaid, too early to tell, on Henderson, Adam was about reasonable. The fees for Carroll and Downing was massively inflated.
