They won't develop another teams player without some sort of upside
Yeah. I don't think it's feasible for a PL team to commit to giving a 19 year old with no PL experience a starting role at CB. Maybe the newly promoted teams but even then it's not guaranteed.They won't develop another teams player without some sort of upside
There is clearly a player in there. Hidden under layers of over-confidence. I'm happy to keep him under the right manager (for him), but we need better right now.If there's truth to Bournemouth being interested, a portion of our fanbase should take pause and consider that actually, there might well be a player in there.

I think Ipswich would be perfect for him. McKenna’s a good coach who still tries to play football in the PL.It’s close enough he could check back in with the club too. He’s got enough upside in aerial dominance and set piece threat that they would play him too.Yeah.

Get him to Spain or Italy at a decent mid table side.
Huijsen came in and started right away but it's unusual. It would be the ideal move if we had some guarantees around his playing time.I think Ipswich would be perfect for him.

We’d have been relegated without him.I’m still on the “sell everyone” wagon. Tel has had chances. He’s had a couple of seasons and he’s been shite. Get rid. He may well explode into a world class player somewhere else, but that doesn’t mean he would here. All we can do is go by what we’ve seen already and that’s not a pretty picture.
And I don’t particularly care if anyone thinks he’d improve under a new manager. Neither Ange or Frank told him to ping most of his crosses into a different postcode. Doubt RDZ will either. But it’ll still happen.
And taking our improvements under RDZ as evidence he will improve, just think crack to who we played at the end of the season. Mainly dreck. Guys who were scared to tackle in case they dropped their beach towel.
If we persist with this “hey, they’ll be great under a new manager”, we are bang in fucking trouble. Just like when the great sages of TFC said that any manager replacing Ange would make us better. Utter nonsense.
Have we announced Senesi in the same way - ie confirmed but joins July 1?

Agent did his job, off to Real it seems.
No idea why today was the trigger for the announcement. Might be different for the Senesi deal. The club also likes to milk these announcements so I doubt we get it soon.Have we announced Senesi in the same way - ie confirmed but joins July 1?
