Bobby once said to me he hasn't spoke to me for over 6 weeks and he called Andy Gray over to verify and he did.....Bobby then went on to Coventry and Man City....last seen him at my mates 60th Birthday and he looked in good shape. It was difficult for me because I loved what Ron was doing too.....but we had some great times and memories. sorry for digressing off topic.....Back to Carney lads. Big game Sunday, if he plays and we will be fighting them all off. Edited May 21, 2021 by TRO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do have an amazing track record of signing young stars. Not from us they don’t. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one thing to wave money in front of the Chinese stock exchange's favourite over-inflated entity, and another when faced with NSWE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 (edited) The speculation on Carney is flattering,but they need to understand, we are no longer a "selling" club....They need to calm their jets. We will sell our players when we are good and ready. All the speculation surrounding Carney, is because he is a rising talent.....but don't we know that too, so why should we sell? Birmingham and Jude was an entirely different scenario, they had little hold on him to resist. We are possibly as big as or soon will be as big as Dortmund and have some fabulous young players to compliment Carney..... Why does he need to move?....He can realise his dreams with us, just like Jack has.....what better example can you have. I suspect every player in Europe would like to play alongside Jack.

HongKongVillan Posted May 23, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 23, 2021 2 games in and 100% record. Hope he brings that confident into tomorrow's game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Yeah he didnt really have a impact on the game but its chelsea who have a world class midfield Good on smith to give him 20 minutes today 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted May 23, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 23, 2021 To be fair in the time he was on the pitch we barely had the ball and were mainly defending deep and hopefully punting the ball up the pitch. He didn't have much more to do than chase after the ball. Maradona would have struggled to make much impact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicho Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Not 18 until October, hes a tall lad, get in the gym over the summer and see where hes at. Good experience today, I bet hes not used to having to chance and tackle and get only half chances at even touching the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 A good lesson that he cannot positively impact on every game he plays. Be good to see tomorrow how he plays now he understands the intensity of premier league football. It will hopefully be a huge positive and give him the chance to bring intensity into the game tomorrow. Everyone will be weaker and slower and he will be able to feel it i reckon and take advantage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) They make it difficult for any player to play, such is their close pressing. everyone of our players had difficulty staying on the ball. Carney will have to get used to this as its not so prevalent in the academy, they allow you space....but he is learning and acclimatising. I thought he did ok, playing against the European cup finalists. Edited May 24, 2021 by TRO 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
