Nowhere near strong enough at the moment. Has potential but is miles below Russell. The difference between U23 & first team is HUGE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rab a dab doo Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 There is no point in signing him if were penalised every time GR does not pick him whether he was good, bad or indifferent. We would be being held to ransom not something Mel or GR would agree to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Just now, SilentRam said: Miles below Russell? His pace, dribbling and finishing miles ahead of Russell's Russell is playing well at the minute and his all round game is very important to how we're playing. He always does his defensive shift, he can beat his man, he can hold the ball and make players commit, sometimes his final ball isnt the best but..... we dont need to slag one player off just to praise another do we now.

The difference between U23 & first team is HUGE! You’re wrong. Let him play and you’ll see. Magical player. Alongside Vydra and Thorne arguably the best natural footballer we’ve got at the club. If it’s strength and power you want then few attacking players come stronger than Offrande Zanzala. Johnny is serviceable but he’s very inconsistent and fairly lightweight. Wins penalties though and pops up with goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexydadbod Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I'd be absolutely delighted if we managed to get Kent on loan. There are no guarantees in football but if we got Woods and him or Maddison then that would almost guarantee automatic promotion. I had the pleasure of watching Liverpool v Bayern Munich in pre season and Kent was absolutely outstanding. He was so quick, could use both feet and had excellent control when dribbling. I wouldn't worry about his lack of success in Germany because the Bundesliga is a very difficult league, especially for newcomers and combined with his homesickness. I know people are sceptical about getting players in January but Kent would be a genuine improvement over what we have got and someone we would need as teams will be more defensive against us in the second half of the season and we will need to break them down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papahet Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Good signing for Bristol. Liverpool arent half ***** with loans though, ruined Ibe by recalling him from his spell here and now insisting Kent has to play or else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topram Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Is a good signing but yes the penalty charges are pathetic. No player should just walk into a team because of what team they've come from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Good signing for Bristol. I just don't see how he warrants a regular first team spot without proving it. I hope, for our sake now, that he strolls in flops and has to play or Bristol incur massive costs. I guess you can't blame Liverpool, but I hope we don't look to sign any of their players (on loan) any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I heard that Liverpool used to loan their promising players for free, but it was years ago... Don't know if they still do or was it even true. Would make the non-playing penalty clause more understandable, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
