His mum passed away towards the back end of last year and the Keogh business wont be helping him concentrate on his football. The emergance of Knight in recent weeks has meant that his suspension didn't hit us as much as Cocu seemed to think it would. I think giving him an extended time out to sort his head out will do him good. Oh I know but cocu banged him straight back into the first team at the first opportunity sighting he needed to feel involved / distracted / supported so our gaffa did the exact opposite I would have left him out too, to let him get his head straight but cocu and the club felt different on the field I don’t think it’s done him any favours hopefully Off the field it has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shang Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Lampard did the same by the way. He played Lawrence when his mum had just passed, and Frank is praised a lot by players for his man-management style. Must have been a choice and decision by Lawrence otherwise I don't think he would be played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I can't remember the last time made a signing like this. It's not a bad thing as it makes their scouts work harder and smarter. They have a number of players that would walk into our team over much more expensive options we've signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nogbad van 50 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Time to move on please! As he’s gone to Preston the thread seems pointless and it’s possibly best to speculate on who may or may not be joining us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Johnson was a very highly rated young player at Aston Villa, but struggled to get his chance and went out on loan. He did well and Preston took a chance on him, for an extremely small fee - £50,000. Not £500,000. £50,000! - and he's been productive every year. This will be his best season and he's now in his peak 27 and he's likely to get double figures for goals. It's not just Johnson, though, they did the same with Ben Pearson and Callum Robinson. Josh Harrop and Ryan Ledson have followed a similar mould. Ben Davies is a player I would really like here. I think he's got the makeup of a player who would be successful at a higher level. Extremely good defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
