@NLAHamilton Over Tonali, no way. Unless you’re talking about fans who just watch YouTube highlights. If you see him live you know what he does. He needed Bentancur to get out the way and stop taking up his space. He runs games and every geordie knew.
@VFTLpodcast@kvlmason@JackPittBrooke@JamesTMaw@EliasBurke Great episode. so true none of us expected Kane to be this good. My issue is once it became clear we had a generational player it was gross negligence of the ownership not to build an elite squad around him- especially as he cost nothing. ENIC/Levy should feel regret every day
@TapAndRunX I was there. The most frightening fast bowling I’ve ever seen. There were a couple SA batsmen who deliberately gave their wickets away to get out of there. I have to say I didn’t blame them. It was brutal
@AlasdairGold He is collateral damage resulting from the ludicrously poor running of the club. Because of the dire situation we’re in we don’t have the luxury of bedding in any more talented youngsters. Not his fault. In another world we would be a settled top 4 team in CL and we ease him in.
@pokeefe1@Miken212lx 100% accurate. no champions league, rubbish previous seasons. Doesn’t matter how good the training ground and stadium are we have to pay the ‘we’ve been utter crap’ tax to get any decent players
@VFTLpodcast@kvlmason@JackPittBrooke@JamesTMaw@jaydmharris Great pod in dark times. I agree the 3 forwards are the only ones we have but kolo surely can’t play. How about add Bergvall or Sarr/Gray to midfield? Clog up the middle of the pitch and hit it long to Richie or Tel. Surely we can change the formation to suit what we have left?
@pokeefe1@jaydmharris@TheAthleticFC Cannot agree. If he was that good he’d have been snapped up already. City, Liverpool, Real Madrid all went elsewhere
@jaydmharris@TheAthleticFC He should definitely be sold. We all know he’ll have a great World Cup so cash in. He’s a really good footballer but too unreliable as a defender. Vertongen was far better positionally and Alderweireld a better passer from the back. He’d be better off further forward.
