    Re: City Bid accepted

    Will fit in perfectly is this quote is accurate

    “normally panics when the ball goes to him and can’t play out from the back”

      ‘Smashed it’ is not accurate at all.

      Moore has been good and Wilson and Ojo both exciting loans both of whom are yet to produce consistently. And the RB has been injured so ‘smashed it’ is a completely wild overstatement in anyone’s language.

        To be fair, PDLR must be a wind up account as nobody can be so blinkered surely?

            He can do that but I think he's mainly a right back. snaggle makes a good point , but all I'm saying is that it's a bit of a gamble

              In the summer Covid was getting in the way and to be fair we did sign some decent players players on loan and we got Moore,.

              I think this is a half hearted cheap attempt to get to the play offs, the players were signing are relatively cheap in todays market, they are relatively young so theie value should hold or improve, and perhaps we may see some leave , to balance the books , the one thing we do know fresh blood is needed to mix things up .

                this seems a good deal.
                left footed ball playing centre backs are very much in demand , and hence attract a price premium if they make it to the top level. having a left/right combination at centre back makes it more difficult to press when trying to play out from the back apparently.
                and he's still got his best years ahead of him. seems that the Bournemouth fans I've seen have said that he looks really good, then drops the occasional clanger.
                similar to how ajayi was at the same age out on loan. if he can improve then we might have a real asset on our hands. if not we have a decent squad player in a position we need, for a reasonable price.

                  I think he's smaller than that more like 5ft 10

                    He’s towering over Ake and Cook here:
                    JACK Simpson insisted he was ready for the physicality of the Premier League after cutting his teeth at the school of hard knocks.

                      Simpson started 6 games on the spin before today and they kept 4 clean sheets. It’s a bit simplistic but clearly he’s not useless.

                          Let's hope he doesn't become more error prone, as Nelson and Morrison have been this season
