Thread: How many of our players could we sell to PL teams?

  1. #1

    How many of our players could we sell to PL teams?

    Etheridge, erm, Reid possibly. I think Mendez-Laing and Murphy have shown enough at times to be ok for lower table PL sides, with a better midfield to provide a platform you might see more from them.

    Struggling otherwise.

    Agree with all the others you say maybe Manga as well

    I very much doubt that any Premier League team will want Etheridge. His distribution just isn't good enough.

    Mendez-Laing and Murphy are too inconsistent. I can't see there being any genuine interest in either of them.

    I think Bobby Reid is good enough for the Premier League, but has be played enough this season for a team to spend the money on him?

    Mendez-Laing, despite making some promising runs, had a 45% pass completion rate in the first half. His opposite number in the Palace team (name escapes me) had 89%! I like NML, however, those stats go to show why we can't keep possession and our squad is full of players who are of the same ilk. Even our 'keeper cannot distribute the ball to one of our own players!

    None of them, maybe Benett could be a backup LB for a bottom half side.

    Mendez Laing is piss poor, he'll beat a man now and then but will almost always give the ball away, half the time he looks like he's dribbling vs himself he's so clumsy.

    I think Gary Madine will be the only one we sell to a premiership team.

    How ironic would that be, eh! ...and not beyond the realms of possibility.

    Etheridge has been decent but I can't see anyone coming in for him.

    Morrison potentially as I think he is one of the best players in the air.

    Murphy did ok at times so is a possibility

    Other than that maybe Patterson might be of interest as a squad player.

    Honestly? None of them. Which is why they play for us. Anyone good enough for this league wouldn’t be with us.

    Not a single one of them.

    Re: How many of our players could we sell to PL teams?

    Possibly Etheridge as a reserve keeper but no-one else.

    Re: How many of our players could we sell to PL teams?

    Had the exact same conversation with my son at the game regarding Etheridges distribution. I personally don't feel any premier league would be interested in any of our players at this present moment.

    A season under pep and I bet his distribution would be a million times better. Just because these are pro footballers doesn’t mean they don’t need coaching or improving it also doesn’t mean players can’t be improved I’ve often wondered what actually goes on in training as there doesn’t seem to be any coaching going on apart from running backwards and forward

    A good friend of mine (Spurs season ticket holder) reckons they have been monitoring Etheridge for the past couple of months.
    There is seriously no one else that could make it.
    Morrison and Manga are both poor and Mendez Laing and Murphy will now find their level back in the championship

    If Murphy joined a team that plays football on the front foot and he ,is not over-burdened with having to constantly track back, then I think he could do well. Someone like yesterday's visitors or Watford. I'm not suggesting he'd start for such teams but he'd make a useful addition I feel.

    Not enough end product though. He's young and will improve mind

    None.

    Re: How many of our players could we sell to PL teams?

    Yeah I can't see any of them being good enough for the premier League.

    True! I’m almost certain he will transfer to shed Utd, and get loaned to Swansea and score against us.
