If and when he leaves, I will feel very sad but no player is irreplaceable although it will have a very negative effect on the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will improve once they get into a club who is stable. I've seen enough from both of them that they'll be fine at a better club. Our club is just a mess and confusing. Starting eleven changing every week. We never know what the starting eleven will be. Nothing is settled. But he has a point.....we are powderpuff....they lose the ball and their man far too easily....this subsequently exposes the defence....its a knock on effect. we need more power and domination in the middle, players with the power and guile to take care of the ball......i.e a young Gareth Barry.

It is often said that a team mirror it's manager. I think our player's softness is a case of poor coaching. Think we would see a totally different Luiz under Wilder or Pep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a suspicion, I have had for a while now.....thats why I don't think it will change. I do think teams mirror the manager. but players like Danny Drinkwater won't change it.....the one playing for Leicester, might have done, this is where due dilligence is lacking.

It's become quite apparent that the Danny Drinkwater that played for Leicester has gone & doesn't look like coming back. He was a massive gamble especially after not making the Burnley side & I can see why Villa thought they might getting a deal. How he can show up so badly out of shape is beyond me & how Villa didn't pick up on that is worrying. He has one more year on his contract at Chelsea & I guess he will milk it to the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I understood Smith's desire to have steel in midfield but ended up with tinfoil lost to the breeze, folding under the least bit of pressure. I could never understand why he'd be selected when his fitness was clearly so poor. Not to mention his attitude concerns. Hands down, an atricious piece of business.

Enda Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 It clearly hasn’t worked out, but it can’t have been much of a financial hit. A million or two. Compare to the ten or twenty we lost on McCormack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/11317093/danny-drinkwaters-restaurant-racks-up/ Quote Danny Drinkwater’s trendy restaurant has racked up debts of close to £2million in just a year. FoodWell aims to combine wholesome food with fitness classes. But the ex-Leicester and Chelsea star’s brainchild has had a troubled start, according to his accounts.Books lodged with government department Companies House show it has liabilities of £1.7 million and cash reserves of just £8,435. The restaurant in Manchester’s city centre, which employs 45 people, had been proving a hit with diners and got good reviews online. It has assets in the shape of equipment and stock of £725,962. Last month the dad-of-one was sent home from training at Premier League strugglers Aston Villa after a bust-up with a team-mate. In August last year, while on a loan spell at Burnley, the 30-year-old was exposed by The Sun brawling in a nightclub in Manchester. Shortly after the footage was filmed, he was involved in an unrelated incident when he was attacked by a gang of six men outside the venue The unsavoury incident came on top of a drink drive ban after he crashed his motor into a wall after a night out in Cheshire in April last year.

It’s a team game, we need a squad full of quality players in order to compete at the highest level. I’d say that we are quite far from that, although we have the infrastructure in place I think. Saying that, we have a lot of very good players currently that we are lucky to have. We have to find ways of not being so reliant on our best players I think. It’s easy for me to say, more difficult to actually put in to practice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junxs Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Looking forward to seeing this in "other football". Probably the worst loan signing we have ever made. At least that Spanish goalkeeper we had didn't cost us any points and saved a penalty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
