You have won the 2024 "Wind Up Merchant of the Year" award ballcock without any real competition.

The lad got a knock in training and I'm sure the Smoggies goal would not have been conceded had he have been playing. :blue:

I agree. Cash in if at all possible.
He ia seriously doing my head in, he continues spilling possession and giving the ball away its like watching a school boy playing under 10s football

Yes Sinkov, he is poor and does not look like a premier league player at this point. If we ship him out on the left we need an agreed replacement who is better. Any ideas for the Left wing?

That will teach me for putting vodka on my cornflakes! Sorry for my mistake, but you are still getting the "Wind Up Merchant of the Year" award and well deserved it is too. XD

He's 20 years old for God's sake and missed the best part of last season with a serious injury.

It's why professional football teams have development coaches to try and improve young players and improve their playing qualities.

Give the young man a bit of time and I reckon he will be the real deal.

Don't know what he has between his ears, it may be a brain of some sort, but it's not a football brain.

Well said Sinkov.Waste of space.He runs around like a headless chicken and if he does get past a couple of defenders he inevitably gives the ball away.Last night he gave the ball away 3 times in 60 seconds whilst defending just outside our box.Get shut whilst he is still worth a few bob.

He may as well, going forward and sideways isn't working.

For those of us who have actually played the beautiful game know that sometimes you can just try too hard.

It's also fairly obvious to anyone who actually understands the game that opponents are doubling and tripling up on the lad. They have obviously more awareness of the threat the kid poses than a few myopic Burnley fans do. :blue:
