Has had alcohol issues and drunk driving conviction (last year) I'd be pissed if we spent money on him. I sort’ve agree, but sometime you need an experienced head for a couple of years, but I did state if the money is right. (for what it’s worth, and I don’t want to turn this into the Drinkwater thread, but I think it’s harsh to say alcohol issues. He had trouble on a night out, Jack did once, we don’t say he has alcohol issues. Also whilst I don’t condone it, footballers are idiots and a lot have driving convictions so harsh to hold Drinkwater to such extreme again) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was also drunk when he tried hitting on that girl that caused him to get beat up. Edited January 31, 2020 by Laughable Chimp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Incidents" were months apart. It's not a one time thing, and it's not like he's a kid like Grealish was. Dude is almost 30. That type of experienced head we can do without. yes. yes we all know how Merson and McGrath turned out for us. Different times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably the reason that we have let Chester go without replacing him, the knowledge that we have ample cover for 2 cms. Explain two at the back please? A flat back 4?

I’d rather we didn’t take the risk but it looks unlikely we’re going to add to the squad today. Although we have 4 CB's for 3 places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 We have to remember the fairness rule, the rule which makes football fair for all, it's fair, always fair. The one where you can't replace a 25m striker or a 50m rated midfielder when they are injured, that fair rule. The very same fair rule of which the EFL will be as moist as Rebekah Vardy when hearing gossip about friends - as the EFL wait to implement the fairness to dock us points if we go down, for fairness. It's all absolutely financially fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam-AVFC Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 21 minutes ago, useless said: Eight years ago Ravel Morrison was playing for West Ham and then went on loan to small heath, he's never been considered one of the hottest talents in Europe. If it’s only judged on club I’m not sure you can use that to talk down Morrison when the other guy has been at Oostende and Changchun in the last 3 years before joining Sheffield Utd. Also, whether you remember it or not, he was incredibly highly rated. I distinctly remember pundits and Utd players (former or current) all raving about him being the most naturally talented footballer to come through their academy. Admittedly there were already question marks over his attitude and whether he would make it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
