      Cameron Archer

      I think archer would really struggle in the first team right now because we are creating so little. He is a pure finisher, a predator, with nothing to feed off he would just be pedestrian.

      Ohhh! Sorry mate. Mellberg was good but I agree probably on the level of what we currently have.

      The banker loving, baby-eating Tory party thread (regenerated)

      The problem with a 20 year plan to see the benefits is that it is a bullshit position. The only way we will be able to say after 20 years that it was categorically a good decision is if the EU completely collapses and somehow that not being in it saves us, which is in and of itself pretty much impossible to conceive. Over 20 years there are far too many global events and issues that will shape the world way more than brexit will do. There will be different governments here who's decisions will mitigate against the harm already done or possibly make things worse. If after 5 years things are objectively worse, the upside over the next 15 years to get us back to the status quo will have to be so dramatic that it breaks credibility to suggest it will happen. Can anyone show me an economic, or social, it environmental forecast that has us making to sorts of strides over the next 15 years that will undo the damage of the last 5? The chancellor can't. 20 years of pain to get to this unspecified fairy tale Neverland just condemns a couple of generations for a promise that cannot be made. In the last 20 years we had the global financial crisis, MySpace, Facebook and Twitter created, the war on terror, China broke through as the major economic giant. 20 years is just a stupidly long timescale to measure the impact of an economic decision such as this one. It looked a bad idea when it was designed, it has been a bad idea in practice. There is no evidence that there will be a positive outcome in the future. If Brexit was going to be a good thing for us we would know it by now. The fact is even the people who negotiated it know it is bad for us, as they keep going back to try and renegotiate the deal they made, that they announced with great fanfare and now say are deeply unfair and unworkable.

      Matt Targett

      Yep, I posted similar to this in another thread. As the main man on the left he's expected to create his own space to cross, but he has no pace or skill so will always struggle. With an intelligent player in front of him, he's great. As Targett is also very intelligent, he gets into great areas/situations. He's also technically superb, his drilled low passes into dangerous areas, I don't see too many other fullbacks in the league doing those so effectively apart from Trent.

      He left to win stuff. If he doesn't win stuff it's all for nothing and even sadder. Strange topic at the moment this.
