On Radio 5 now been talking about Kweev and saying it may be a PSR thing (pure profit as an academy player). Makes some sense, but you'd imagine/hope his sale was then tied up last summer when we bought the big Georgian. Could it be to Newcastle as part of Gordon coming to us? They seem like to sort of club he'd go to and they probably need an upgrade on Pope.
That's true and makes it even more frustrating. I think he can defend, he just doesn't often enough. I don't know why that is. To me, it looks more attitudinal and effort related, rather than tactical. But what the f*** do I know!
Yep - agree. Great player when on it, but his body language/attitude/energy has pissed me off this season. He's not shown up as a defender for too long now.
Should never have let Darwin take one. His confidence is shot. Jones can be a world beater or can cost us and tonight he cost us (not just the pen, he dithered a few times and his PSG team tear you apart if you let them on the break). Thought Robbo was excellent tonight, like the Robbo of old. PSG are a very good team and will take some beating.
I'd rather he stayed, but I'd be pretty OK with him going. His defending is a serious drawback. I know his attacking is a real weapon, but it's quite counterbalanced by his defensive frailties.
