Dont rate him. Sorry.
A real professional too, when he wasn't starting he buckled down and worked hard. Has rightfully earned himself a place in the starting 11. Actually thought the Chelsea game this sunday was one of his poorer performances, at least defensively. He gave way too much space to Moses in a lot of situations
He was left on his own quite a bit with Moses due to Verthongen staying in the center of the pitch. He looked better in the second half when he didn't go forward as much. Same with Trippier on the right.
and he had also been in china midweek for a welsh FA need some cash, bale contractually required to play blah blah beano
cracking Welsh at the end there
Turned out nice...
Its funny looking back ay Jul 2014 and reading some of the opinions back then. Football is an unpricatble science.
Yeah thanks for highlighting that cuntchops
Pleasure-your welcomed.
Ive had my moments -prediction for this season but I will not go there.
I thought the same. I couldn't work out why his starting position seemed to be so close to vertongen.
I remember watching him against Sheffield Utd
The renowned Maurice Campbell-rice tormented him that day. Tore him a new one ... had him on toast ... blah blah
I turned to my pal saying this geezer is fucking hopeless . I couldn't believe what we had bought
Fast forward a few years. I think he's a great player
Showed me huh

It's always hard to predict if a player with develop or fit straight in.
Allway s felt he was a decent footballer but lacked pace. Always will have a moment when gets exposed but overall a decent buy.

I have nothing but utmost respect for the guy.
As said - he is not as flashy as Rose (well with anything rly, incl hairdo and general looks), but he delivers well as much as Rose does. I don't know if that has a name or not, but same implies for players like Zaha, Townsend and few more - fast, flashy and in centre of attention but offer little end product. Still highly regarded at some point due to "flashyness".
But despite this lack of reckognition he has been role model professional. Always available, always ready, not complaining and trying to up his game bit by bit. Considering those 2 things it is damn easy to forget that the lad is still only 24!! Basically a youngster still!
I hope he remains in the club for a long-long time.
Might happen that at some point he will be shifted to LCB position given his qualities and tactical awareness!

Honestly would rather play him than big mouth any day, especially in a back 4
He must've worked so hard and I'd imagine took on board all the coaching from Poch
And maybe it's just from increased fitness levels but he's definitely gained a yard of pace from those early days
Agree - making the right decisions, reading the game better-anticipating where to be, can give you that extra yard. Fitness goes without a doubt under Poch.
To be fair to myself, at the time £12M was a lot of wedge for what looked like a reserve fullback with Rose freshly back from Sunderland and putting a shift in. That was before the market went truly bonkers
