Keyblade Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 No more need to have a heart attack if Targett gets injured. He was great today. Very positive. We have some squad shaping up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I know it's a friendly at Walsall but he looked like he's lost little if any of his old pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJay Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 A real modern Pro, has looked after himself and should be able to come in and cover 15-20 games over the season easily. We have a really young team and another old head like that (Similar profile to JT) to cover Center half and we'd be set at the back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I've made a cracking suggestion in the John Terry thread, maybe he could replace Terry on the coaching team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I think even if he doesn't take a coaching role, he could still possibly take Terry's role as the older figurehead that the younger players can look up to at the club. Obviously Shakespeare has pretty much already taken Terry's role as Smith's assistant and we also have O'Kelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Plenty of candidates for a coaching role and JT replacement, including Young… Would love Laursen & Mellberg back at the club… If he’s up to it, Cahill could give us CB cover for a year and take on JT’s role… would offer similar attributes… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To each their own. Wrong thread for this anyway. Maybe Young could succeed JT… there are other options… Jedinak.Don't know his qualifications mind.

Jas10 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 4 minutes ago, villalad21 said: I'd rather see them succeed elsewhere and prove themselves as top coaches and then bringing them back. You are throwing around names like Laursen, Mellberg etc. What are their coaching credentials? Have they been successful coaches post retirement? You don't hire people just out of sentimentality. Man Utd just hired Darren Fletcher with no credentials and they've been criticized by that appointment from many, myself included. I think it's completely the wrong way to go. This might all sound very negative but I just want the best for the club, and get the best in class. We have a great manager (I know you don’t agree but oh well) and an experienced assistant in Shakespeare. What coaching experience did Terry have before he joined us? He o lay recently completed his coaching badges, while he was employed by us… and what we’re talking about his replacement… Mellberg has managed, Laursen has expressed an interest in returning to the club and possibly may have completed his coaching badges… Petrov too… Cahill could do a similar thing and have a similar experience to JT, plus he could give us the CB cover we need for a season… Bringing in inspirational and experienced figure in is not a bad idea, everyone has to start somewhere… Of course you don’t bring someone in just out of sentimentality, you assess their ability and credentials before making a final decision… but why rule them out immediately? Just suggestions, doesn’t have to be a former player… but players are more likely to look up to certain figures than others. Laursen would be hugely inspirational for our defenders… and could teach them a thing or two… Anyway, this is the Young thread so maybe best to move on… not the place for this discussion… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poitier Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I only saw the last 25 mins, but he was quality. Great composure, brought the the ball forward well, and some very creative passing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
