Hasta explains here

Hes wasnt good either. Let's not re write history again.

Werent even the best at the club. Berg and Short were twice the player they were.

Taylor played under top name managers? Who were these apart from Souness who sold him. Johansson played 2 games for Bayern. That's it before he was sold to Nuremberg. He never played for AEK Athens. So dont know why you mention then..https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nils-eric-johansson/profil/spieler/205

I am fully aware thanks Tyrone that we are in Championship but Taylor or Johansson weren't good enough for then. Both poor defenders Johnson isnt a centre back either. Branthwaite you mean? Who has improved our defence and kept back to back clean sheet in last 2 games.

neither good enough for us in the PL days and I wouldnt take either now.

Bilic was there for the over the first 4 months of time there. Under Allardyce he hasn't feature any more.

Was he signed there. Surely Kipre knew that Bilic didn't want him from the conservation he had with him over the role Bilic thought he would feature in

more chance of playing here then WBA. he wasnt a Bilic signing

really?

Dave Jones on Sky coverage of the West Ham vs Liverpool has just said that Liverpool are targeting Preston's centre back Ben Davies for 2 million pounds

edit wrong thread

no one has a guareentee starting place but if you perform you keep the shirt like Armstrong, Kaminski, Dack, Travis has proved.

Douglas had a good game yesterday but for me Pickering is the long term number 1 here. Douglas and Pickering challenging for the left back shirt next season would solve having to recruit a new left back in the summer If he has sign a 1 year deal then its shows forward planning by the club, Mowbray and recruitment staff

Jim, a few years ago I left a job where I was earning a few thousands pounds more than the job I went to for personal reasons. Just imagine I could have had a few thousands pounds more in the bank or be happy with my job, etc

we are 3 points of the playoffs currently and is hardly middle of the championship is it? Plus playing regular first team football is much better than just training every day and being on the bench in the odd game and would be be higher in the league if he had been here?

I would be signing Pickering right now and putting into the 1st team squad and getting rid of Bell before the deadline day closes either by loan, permanent or paid off. I would be disappointed in loaning him to Crewe for the rest of the season. Douglas has had a couple of good games recently but can he maintain that

He could have come here and play regular 1st team football and help us get promotion instead he been just training there with the odd bench spot. Surely playing regular football would have been more beneficial for his career?

we need a cover centre back and if we can sign this one then we have that plus it allow us in a summer to sign a permanent player with the wages that will be available in the summer with the out of contract players going. We are 3 points off the top 6 with 17 games. You might want to think we aint going up be 10 points from last 4 games with 3 clean sheets would suggest we have a good chance getting top 6. Don't know why you think like that. Where the plan? Mowbray is signing a left back in Harry Pickering that will be our long term number 1 left back and signing a loan centre back to be back up. Signing 2 players within the budget. Do you know what terms WBA want Kipre? Next season, we will have Nyambe here as we have 1 year club option, Lenihan, Ayala and Wharton plus left back Pickering.

A scenario that would NEVER happen tho so its pointless question. Very happy in my current job thanks

He wasnt going to get that chance under Bilic. Forget the wages, playing regular first team football should have come first.

I said moving to WBA was the wrong move cos he wouldnt play there.
