It was Devon Allen I was thinking off! He played WR for Oregon but then went to the Olympics for the 110m hurdles, but after that he had two seasons on the Eagles PS, he scored in preseason during one of those years and it was crazy how much quicker he looked than other fast athletes.
Apparently Ramsdale is on 150k a week at Arsenal with his latest deal. I can't see any of the teams linked with him going for that. (Us, Ajax, Southampton and Bournemouth from what I have seen elsewhere)
In recent terms yes, but there are several much lesser known players who were also track athletes or better. James Jett who played for the Raiders, also had a gold medal for the 100m relay. Devon White or what ever he was called that was on the Eagles Practice squad recently potentially another...
Sa would potentially be the No1 England keeper though, it's not a strong group. Personally I feel it's Henderson's to take should he have a good rebound year and stay fit.
See I consider Ramsdale a marginal downgrade, but with more upside. As a cost cutting measure or wanting to recoup a fee on Sa I would sort of get it, but not if it meant matching his current money given the constraints apparently being shown elsewhere.
I don't think Ramsdale is a good enough upgrade on Sa, although he is better than Johnstone so that's a plus at least.
I don't know what Ramsdale would have offered differently on Saturday either in regards to the goals conceded. He probably doesn't try to come for the first due to being...
See I don't think it's even this. They have put too much into their other branding avenues and whatnot to just suddenly not have the team or the link between all that, also when relegation did look a concern suddenly they found signings. I do think it's just some sort of misguided idea of being...
It's not the reality, it's the self imposed circumstances we have placed on ourselves. Look at the way we recently had been ahead of Villa in terms of squad and progress, and yet now they are in the Champs league due to taking advantage of the chances and the way they have invested and...
The plan should be to sell Cunha for a massive amount, however the plan should also be to have someone now is place ready to take an extended role when that happens. And that's the part I don't really trust with the club currently. Selling then looking isn't ideal, look how long it took to get...
Yeah with Andy on this. Many of you are reminding me of the managers and line managers you have at work, who fall out with you when you put your notice in and act let down etc.
GF said we'd not pay a new signings anywhere near a 100k a week. I suspect that Anderson would be closer to that at Fulham than he would here. Not saying I am in favour of splashing mad amounts around for the sake of it, but it does seem we have decided to not actively compete with the wage...
For me the issue is we are now looking for the replacement. I get we might have targets scouted etc, but that is different to having someone ready and integrated with the group and system. I felt like a couple of the signings this season fitted a better return to that up and coming development...
He had a couple last year too, I'd never touch him and don't feel he is starter Prem quality at all. He isn't better at the ball with his feet overall due to how slow and ponderous he is when on the ball or pressed. As whilst his accuracy and passing is much better, there is no good having the...
Palace agreeing that Sam Johnstone can leave but only if someone meets their 10mil valuation. Insane, worried about posting this given our previous interest in him.
On the basis of the highlights that's dreadful keeping. 2nd and 3rd goal in particular. I can ignore king as the 3rd choice is that means the younger keepers are freer for loans etc, but Bentley is a concern. An month long injury to Sa and we'd have an appallingly below standard keeper as our 1.
