Agent just wanted his money I guess. Or he wanted to make sure that he got a move so he can play and as it’s just a 1 year loan he didn’t really care which club he ended up at.

Neverbefore 10,695 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 If we arent able to get dijksteel in would anyone want danny Simpson? Still without a club and is a few years younger than Hutton. Short term solution yes but I think I'd be happy enough with him. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Motor Mouth 255 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Cannot understand why Shotton is getting so much bad press from the fans. The guy was playing in a central position obviously because we are carrying injuries to our central defence and he was playing at DLC totally out of his natural position. When fit Shotton carries a great deal of speed he has an excellent thrown in, is strong and playing at right wing back he is a great asset to the team. You simply cannot judge him on that opening game. Clayton has we have seen time and time again these past few seasons under various managers as suffered quite a bit (Monk/Pulis and now by the looks of things Woodgate) . I feel for the Clayton much like I did for Leadbitter when it happened to him. Managers are not doing him any favours dropping him so deep he really needs to be played higher up he field so that he can start running at opposition and creating. Then and only then will you see him performing at his best. Howson really needs to be allowed to move further forward I would not say put him in the present Clayton position because he would also be stifled.Hey it was great to see finally why we have McNair at our club, thought he and Johnson had great games especially Johnson creating those vital pass's for the 2 goals. Can't leave without mentioning the guy I love to hate. Assombalonga yes I just love to hate that guy. He's greatest asset that I can see on the field is clearing our own box with his strong headers. Its just a pity he does not have that quality at the other end of the field when faced with scoring in the oppositions goal. What was it 15 goals last season and to score that many he missed like 5 times that amount of chances or maybe more I lost count. Keane really needs to get on top of that fella and who knows we may even see more goals and less missed chances and ffs don't let him take another penalty.

TLF10 4,440 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Sky saying Leicester could bid for Tarkowski to replace Maguire. Burnley in turn could replace him with free agent Cahill. Although I could fully see Burnley making a bid for Fry as well if they sell Tarkowski for the reported £40m. Time will tell I guess.. Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,403 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Surely Tarkowski leaving just means they might actually give Gibson some game time. I fully expect Fry to still be here by the end of Thursday. Link to post Share on other sites

Now i have regularly seen two right footed CBs play together. However, i dont recall ever seeing two left footed CBs as a pairing. Therefore for that reason I dont see Gibson and Ben Mee as a pairing. Link to post Share on other sites

They are interested in Ajer from Celtic too. I think he is more realistic as he would be a lot cheaper. Link to post Share on other sites

How is two left footers any worse than two right footers? Unless Gibson has done something to annoy Burnley I agree that he is the obvious replacement. Link to post Share on other sites

The psychology behind it is that most players are right footed. So, subconsciously, players pass to other players right foot - or have to take another moments thought to process passing it to a player's left foot, and at this level, every split second decision counts. There's loads of managers and coaches who're wary of left footed keepers for the same reason. Link to post Share on other sites

Logically yes but Dyche dropped Gibson from the squad for last game of season to allow left back Ward a place on bench for his final game for club. When explaining decision he said i needed cover for right side of CB so could not drop Keith Long and Ben understood why he was omitted. Therefore that tells me Dyche does not see Gibson as a viable option for the right side of his defence. Link to post Share on other sites
