At 40mil no thanks, as much as I like the guy and will back him to find his form again that’s too steep.
out of interest, what was his defensive/pressing like pre injury. On Saturday he just wasn’t closing down anyone with intent. Was this the same before he got injured? I don’t remember anything in the Liverpool game but then again I wasn’t really looking out for it.
Can’t say I’m surprised, on his day he’s a level above the quality we would have hoped to get in the summer. Yeah injury hasn’t helped and he’s working his way back.
for the right price I’d take him a heartbeat and I really hope he finds his form again.
I do wonder whether his playing time is partly down to Deans promise to get Ross into the euros squad. Obviously cant do this from the bench and maybe deans almost made a rod for his own back.
of course it’s down to the player first and foremost to perform to justify selection but it makes me wonder.
Just seen the line up, I like it. Hoping Archer will be raring to go, no long spells for the lad. Utilise him like Johnson 13/14. Give him 3/4 over spells and let him rip.
Ended up having a look back to the start of the thread for Ollie and around the time we signed him.
we signed him for an initial £28m to mixed reviews re the fee. At the halfway stage of the season how we feeling about the fee at this point?
We didn’t wear the black ones presumably cause saints had black shorts (think this is a thing)
Only guess is that they didn’t want to mix and match home and away
I don’t know whether they were linked earlier in the window, but you have to wonder why clubs keep coming in even though it’s well known he won’t be allowed to leave.
