Hardly, he’s not good enough to be starting PL games and his wages are too high for a back up keeper, or any team in the Championship. It’s difficult to see where he goes really. It’ll probably end up being another late loan.
Can't see any reason not to be happy with this, I doubt most Championship clubs would be able to pull off a signing of his pedigree, so fair play to Spors for that. Hopefully this means we'll see a bit less of Stephens and a lot less of Wood this season, perhaps starting with our game on Saturday.
Calling him a crab is such a lazy insult. Truth is he’s played a variety of different roles in midfield since making his debut and he covers a lot of ground during a game. If the manager tells him to sit deep and pass it around, he’ll do it. If the manager tells him to get forward into the box, he’ll do that too.
One thing that has been consistent is that every manager we’ve had from Adkins to Martin has played him regularly and not wanted to offload him. I doubt Tonda would be any different, as he has a fairly decent haircut.
For a man who thought 34 year old, six months retired Romeu should go straight into our team and would be our fittest player, you’re sure going all in against JWP.
I don’t think we’re going to be signing anyone with a better CV than 400 PL apps. 11 England caps and still only 31 years old.
Funnily enough I’m sat watching The Expendables right now. Let’s just say you get what it says on the tin, nothing more, nothing less. Also - Super Troopers and Dude, Where’s my Car?
I wouldn’t say that’s essential for a CM pairing. Neither Morgan nor Wanyama were particularly fast but they were the best pair we’ve had playing there in my lifetime. JWP covers a lot of ground and is generally very reliable when it comes to fitness. I’d certainly have him back on loan, especially if it ,want we’d have a bit more money free to replace THB.
Stephens, for all his faults, isn’t a player I associate with getting bullied. If anything he is more prone to losing his discipline, like he did with Cucurella, and just generally having terrible brain farts
