Yeah, linked in the summer. One time wonderkid who got a big move to Monaco but hasn't done anything of note since. Doubt there's much truth in it and looks proper gash now.
Edit: Ignore me, I'm thinking of Willem Guebbels.
But he didn't play in the championship?
Edit: Forgot he played against Ipswich but not like he really had many minutes and that was in the middle of the whole transfer saga.
I see this quite often with Trump apologists but I could turn it on it's head and say frankly I'm amazed that some people can look past the fact he refused to accept the result of a legitimate democratic election and incited an insurrection. The US was Mike Pence away from having a dictator - that's unbelievable. Even if I was further to the right on the political spectrum, I don't think I could justify an argument that effectively started with "But apart from that........"
Michael Sheen comes very close to being an impersonator but he's always impressed me.
Guess I should mention Jack Nicholson in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Physically very different from the character in the book but totally embodies the spirit of the role.
Yes, completely agree - I wasn't really making much of a point except that the US hasn't always been the defender of democracy it likes to pretend it is. In the case of Venezuela I think it's a useful excuse and not much else.
Can't see it myself - he's not big enough or quick enough for the premier league. He could be the best ball playing cb going (not that there was any evidence of him being anything special with the ball here) but as a cb he's just not physically cut out for it at higher levels.
Completely agree. I think the reputation comes from being a bit more comfortable on the ball than a lot of cbs. People look at that and seem to place more importance on it than good defending (same with 'keepers too). Having said that, I don't think Edwards showed any great composure for us either. Good luck to him and all that but I can't see him being anything other than an average championship defender.
Didn't someone (Alfie House?) say that we'd only contemplate getting Downs out the door if we had a replacement lined up? If that's the case then hopefully we'll start hearing about a new striker soon.
