  1. I am not saying that a back up keeper should have all the attributes, but another important difference is that Martinez is a sweeper keeper, Olsen seems to stick pretty much to his line.
  2. Isn't it amazing to have such choices?
  3. To me, the problem is not just his ability, it is that the team do not play with the confidence that they have when Martinez is playing.
  4. It was only for emphasis. I am really quite placid.
  5. He was excellent. That shows what he can do. Needs to be doing it more often, and I think the new influx of top players might help him. I've always liked him; wanted us to buy him seasons ago. he always gives 100%; never stops running; I'd love to see him kick on now.
  6. He is bloody aggressive for someone his size. He is forever squaring up to guys a foot taller than him. He looks proper grumpy on the pitch. I like him.
  7. 4 good CB'S. For the first time in a long time. Why would we want to sell him? Times have changed; we have wealthy, ambitious owners; we don't need to move a player on to buy another. The owners will be more interested in having a SQUAD to take us to where they want us to be than counting the pennies ala Doug Ellis.
  8. I don't think so. He will be a really good 4th choice.
  9. I realise that keepers have to mature, but, knowing little about it, I am surprised that our young keepers are worse than Olsen, and are not capable of being backup.
  10. Our defence goes to shit when he is behind them, and the entire structure of the team is effected. The drop off from Martinez is too great.
  11. Agreed. A backup keeper has to be able to hit the ground running. That is the very nature of his job.
  12. Northern Ireland's loss is England's gain. But hey, I am more interested in his career with Aston Villa.
  13. Selling Luiz would be a retrograde step. Can't see it happening.
  14. That's taking birth control to a whole new level.
  15. IF he is waiting to choose between us or Saudi, there is a question mark against his ambition and his confidence in his own abilities.
  16. Ah, you mean the Villa fan who is the best player we have had in a decade, who gave us some of the best years of his career, and moved on to win silverware before his career was over?
  17. I think he is most like Defoe. A natural.
  18. Crazy way to look at things. You could say the same for any player that season scoring a goal, never mind keeper saves, defensive tackles, etc. I think you will find it was any player participating that season that kept us up.
  19. I would not want him to be obstructing Archer's progress, who is clearly the better player.
  20. If you blink you could miss Gordon's involvment.
