He might have the odd good pass in him but he is NOT a central midfielder fit for the modern game. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Borodane 6,301 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 12 days into the window and it's been remarkably slow across the board. You'd think the opening two weeks would be an ideal time to get a player in, when you have no league games for a fortnight. I really thought that we'd have Bolasie tied up quickly and Roberts out the door. Link to post Share on other sites
GrimsbyBoro 1,968 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Bolasie will go to the wire as Everton try and recoup any kind of fee. Probably hoping someone like Big Sam will take a punt on him. I imagine there’s two factors in play for Roberts organising where he goes next. It’s not great for him at a boro but he has more chance of playing than he does stuck at City. secondly I think Warnock will be hesitant to let him go without a replacement signed sealed an delivered. we could be on the verge of a promotion push and he won’t want to weaken the squad especially as we are a small one to start with and Watmore is still a fitness gamble. i think we will have a similar wait with Britt. Could be a busy (and probably disappointing) deadline day. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Robin Johnson 616 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Here we go again- Bolasie! Just a reminder, he wants to play for a Prem league club so we are held in reserve. Once more, I don’t get this desire for this player. The last time he showed anything like consistency was 2014....... And yet still he floats the boat of posters on here? Move on for Gawds sake!

Like a broken record honestly, just give it a rest Edit: And of course he would prefer to play for a Premier League club, in his early 30’s it’s nothing against us a club. You’re just looking for reasons to slate him 5 Link to post Share on other sites

A professional footballer only has the Championship as second choice. And also the fact that you have no idea whether that is true. Ï'd also argue that he was pretty consistent at a small club called Sportïng Lissabon last season where he also played in the Euro League. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Robin Johnson 616 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Tell you what, I will stop posting about this guy if everyone else does - deal? And the broken record comment- could easily be targeted at those who continually bang the drum to sign this waste of space. Link to post Share on other sites

Robin Johnson 616 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Uwe, yes , you’ve got it! As a footballer whose most recent form in the Championship at Villa was completely uninspiring -21 games and ( allegedly) a total of 2 decent games- I cannot for the life of me see the clamour of signing such a player. Hey ho, all about opinions. Link to post Share on other sites

Hey ho, all about opinions. You already know what’s going to happen. He’ll sign for us last minute, take a month to get fit, Warnock will hang back on putting him into the starting lineup, he’ll make a couple of sub appearances then get injured and miss the next couple of months. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I mean Patrick Roberts is all those things but if we played him in central midfield as one of a two then we'd not be bemoaning his lack of defensive prowess. Why is it not the same for Wing? People have been on about WIng for ages as a #10 but for some reason, managers want him to play in the middle of the park, Woodgate even wanted him to sit in front of the defence, seemed to have this grand plan of him being like Pirlo when all it did was showcase his poor defensive qualities and took him away from the position on the pitch where he could actually score goals. I think the lad is struggling to get a game and will take what time he can get so of course, he'll play in midfield at times. But I think all you've proved there is that he shouldn't be playing in a midfield position with such high demands at both ends of the pitch. He's a player with a limited number of qualities but those he does possess actually are fit for this level and just like Roberts, if he's to stay here, we need to utilise him properly rather than expecting him to be something he's not.
