When I think of winger it's wide left or right running down the channels and putting crosses in like young and downing, I don't remember anyone other than Albrighton doing that for us since young and downing left. I do remember mcleish putting hsskey on the left when we played man City though. That went well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally have doubts as to whether he'll make it, but I trust Dean Smith and team so I'm happy for him to be playing next season. Given the same circumstances except it’s your decision, would you have signed El Ghazi for Villa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith didn’t give him a start until 1st December and only one brief sub appearance before that. He actually kept him out of more matches than Bruce did. So should we be equally (or more) angry with Smith for “treating him like dirt”? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve made my thoughts on Bruce quite clear but I think both he and Smith were right not to play him in the first part of the season. He was ridiculously off the pace of the league. But I guess those (or the one person) that though Bruce treated El Ghazi poorly could also be annoyed with Smith........if he hadn’t got us promoted.

A record-equaling 17 draws (our own record incidentally ). Bolton, Blackburn and Wolves got relegated that season. We beat all three that season, most memorable of which being that 3-2 away win against Wolves where Robbie Keane scored those 2 stunners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREAT_BEARD_OF_ZEUS Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Packed with potential this lad. I still think he's got another couple of levels he can go to. Very glad he's onboard, but let's get someone in to challenge/push him for that left sided spot (fwiw I don't think that is Green) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was really what lay behind my post. It was perhaps more his own lack of form and need to adjust that kept him out of the side than the failings of any particular manager. Anyway, it all worked out sweet in the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, we only equaled Newcastle's 03/04 original setting of the record but we held the record jointly when we equaled it in 2012 nonetheless 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, good question. I'd probably go with no, but the low fee may be enough to persuade me it was worth it. I am 100% happy to be proved wrong on this by the way.
