If Russell is surplus and we need to off load then again he is only worth want some other club wishes to pay. If he is not surplus we can put as much on his head as we feel fit to do, he could be worth £20 million Russell isnt surplus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are times when he loses the ball or his touch lets him down. Frustrating ! But these are the few percentage points between a good player and a great player. ... But when we are flagging and not "getting in to them" Johnny is one of the few that can Instill urgency and energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purpleram Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I know he has a mass of fans behind him but I can't see, for the life of me, what people see in him. Odd flashes of ok-ness aside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a complaint about a lot of modern footballers... they don't give enough (I certainly believe that about Shackell) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I'm a fan but he's like an English summer. Great when hot but more often a fine drizzle. He never gives the impression he knows what he is going to do next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However some stats to consider: 3rd highest goalscorer in the squad last year Joint 2nd assists 4th highest Key passes per game 4th highest successful dribbles per game Now you could argue that he is also 6th highest for being dispossessed and 3rd highest for bad control per game... However he comes in at 1.5 bad touches per game vs Ince at 2.2 Obviously this is a stat which is likely to be MUCH higher in anyone in a forward role...

Purpleram Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 You can twist or quote statistics all you like, but I prefer to watch the game and make my own mind up. If we are after promotion then he ain't good enough. Whatever you think of Ince, if Pearson can get similar effort out of him as JR gives, the net results will be massive. JR is bang average and he tries really hard, so he probably can't improve. Ince is class but hasn't the same work ethic as JR, IMO the skys the limit for Ince, if he wants it enough.

Purpleram Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 And if JR averages only 1.5 bad touches a game I'm a fricken Dutchman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
