I'd imagine he's probably going to do well out there, fast and powerful he could potentially tear the league up. He'll never get a touch of the ball. Remember that Bris said that there are 'millions of players better than Will Hughes in the Spanish second division". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure he didn’t mean it like that, what he probably meant was that there are many technically gifted players in Spain like Hughes, which is true. You won’t make it as a pro footballer in Spain unless you are excellent technically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite possibly, but if I don't take the Mickey out of Bris's superior arrogance, then I would have to take the Mickey out of yours. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll give you that one but I don’t think he was bad as people made out, he came into a team where all the defensive midfielders were injured, our keeper had brain freezes and Christie, Keogh and Forsyth all happened to become rubbish at the same time and being unable to speak the language wasn’t ideal. Same with Blackman , he wasn’t that bad. Both came into teams who were struggling. It was a case of the wrong place at the wrong time for both players.

PistoldPete2 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 With the transfer window now shut , players like Blackman will still need to be moved on. He's behind about six CFs now, jerome, nurgent, Marriott, martin, wag horn and Bennett. Maybe only one place up for grabs between them .. Maybe two on occasions. Then we have about 12 players as attacking midfielders or wingers ( for four positions) 3 CDMs and three left backs. So by my reckoning that's about 10 players who need to be loaned out or contracts cancelled. Plus maybe a few others like elsnick or guy who need experience elsewhere on loan. Still a busy time for frank and co. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All true Pete but I wonder what's going on with Timi Max .. he had a good loan spell and clearly developed .. what have Jody or Frank seen that is keeping him out of the frame I wonder ?

Not terrible imo Oh they were blinding. but that doesn’t make him a good player, he had plenty of attributes to make him a good player.. put the ball infront of him to run onto or to win and he could do it but ask him to make a defensive decision or not to switch off and dear god What about the 332 times he switched off and was in no mans land defensively he made Cyrus look on the ball positionally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
